Does anyone know of, or have something of the sort of a video clip montage or copilation of quotes where people in public demonstrate their complete ignorance of firearms while trying to debate for control over them? I think something like that would speak volumes towards discrediting many of the uneducated and ignorant arguments being used in favor of gun control. Of course, that would suppose the viewing audiance would understand the falsehoods of being demonstrated by said video montage or compilation of quotes...

I'll start.

On the April 18, 2007, episode of MSNBC's program Tucker, Tucker Carlson interviewed McCarthy about the Virginia Tech massacre and her proposed reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. He asked her to explain the need to regulate barrel shrouds, one of the many provisions included in her bill. She did not directly respond, instead stating it was more important that the legislation would ban large capacity "clips" (sic) of the type used in the Virginia Tech massacre and that the class of guns chosen prohibited by the law were those used by gangs and killers of police officers. That statement was factually incorrect; Cho's largest magazines held fifteen rounds, thus making them legal under the AWB.[23] When Carlson pressed her twice more on the question about barrel shrouds, she admitted that she did not know what a barrel shroud was, and incorrectly stated, "I believe it is a shoulder thing that goes up."[24]
