Clown: Former Army Ranger Jason Crow Reveals Firearms Ignorance in Interview
2 min readCongressman Jason Crow of Aurora claimed “you don’t need an AR-15 to defend your home” and “you don’t use it for hunting” in an interview on KOA’s Colorado Morning News.
Crow begins by advocating for background checks – apparently forgetting that Colorado already has mandatory background checks and waiting periods for firearm purchases. He then catastrophized the issue by citing a gun violence statistic that includes suicides: “Over 30,000 die a year by guns.”
After touting his expertise on the AR-15 platform and how “I used to carry one for work,” Crow claimed that he “grew up a hunter.” AR-15 rifles are used by millions of Americans for home defense and hunting small game, yet Crow claimed that “if you feel you need an AR-15 to defend your home, what you really need are shooting lessons,” failing to reveal what firearm he believes is a better choice for home defense.
News to Jason Crow: every weapon is an “assault weapon.” All firearms are used to assault things. Applying the term “assault weapon” to the ArmaLite AR-15 platform is a political technique to scare ignorant people into thinking the AR-15 is somehow more dangerous or deadly than similarly-powered rifles for the purpose of turning public opinion against one of the country’s most popular rifles.
This kind of willful ignorance would be bad enough from any politician who has the power to determine the country’s gun laws, but it’s ridiculously embarrassing from a former Army Ranger.
