To say that California Assemblyman David Chiu (D) would be an understatement.
Gun-control advocates often demonstrate that they have no knowledge of the very firearms they want to regulate or ban. California Assemblyman David Chiu (D) just joined those dubious ranks by posting on Twitter about finding plastic packaging for a Glock-style CO2 air gun that he clearly mistook for a firearm.
The tweet read: “Finding the discarded packing of a semi-automatic on a leisurely weekend walk was disturbing, particularly during this month’s surge of gun violence in San Francisco. #EndGunViolence #EnoughIsEnough” It included a picture of an opened plastic blister pack, which once held a Glock 19-style air gun.
After pushback, Chiu deleted the original tweet and posted: “I deleted an earlier tweet that misidentified a Glock 19 air pistol. While it is not a semi-automatic, it’s still disturbing to see the remnants of a weapon that can cause injury, especially in an area where young kids play and while we are dealing with a surge of gun violence in SF.”
