Politicians Say the Darndest Things (about guns) [VIDEOS]

Several politicians have made headlines recently with their irresponsible, ignorant, and even illegal display of their personal firearms while putting others at risk, yet they face no consequences for their actions.

First we have Jerome M.

Next we have State Rep. Leslie “Desk Pop” Combs (D) who discharged her Ruger LCP inside the Capitol annex office striking a bookcase after it ricocheted off the floor while “unloading it”.  She dismissed this negligent discharge with “I am a gun owner… It happens”.
