A few days ago during an interview, New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen made some pretty egregious and outrageous statements about her own constituents.
Shaheen actually said that people who buy AR-15s are only doing so with bad intentions.
From BuzzFeed:
Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said certain types of firearms like the AR-15 are the kind of guns that should be banned. She added that people trying to purchase the weapon — which is popular among American gun owners — are “buying it do bad things.”
“The fact is, the AR-15, the gun that (Omar) Mateen used, that’s a weapon of war; it’s advertised as being able do technologically advances in killing people that previous weapons have been unable to do and somebody who is buying that kind of a weapon isn’t buying it for target shooting,” she said. “They’re not buying it to go out and hunt deer. You don’t need an AK-47 or an AR-15 to hunt deer. They’re buying it to do bad things and we need to recognize that and address it.”
Yes, she REALLY SAID THAT.
Clearly Shaheen despises thousands of her own constituents who actually own AR-15s in the Granite State.
Her statement not only shows her ignorance about firearms but it shows how completely out of touch she is with the people she is supposed to represent.
As always, her party politics are far more important to her than her job to represent ALL Granite Staters.
Wildlife Taxidermy and Sport Center decided to reprimand her on a sign outside of their shop. And yes, they sell firearms, fishing gear and all kinds of other sporting goods.
Essentially, Shaheen is showing her hoplophobia and bigotry towards people she knows nothing about.
How dare this woman label all AR-15 gun owners as ‘bad people’ going to do ‘bad things.’
