Heritage Foundation’s Amy Swearer Destroys Assault Weapon Ban Argument

By Tom Knighton

With testimony taking place before Congress, there’s a lot of stuff that’s going to be said. I’d be very surprised if half of the lawmakers on the committee even hear half of what’s being said. A lot clearly aren’t paying attention (as you’ll see in a moment). However, as noted earlier today, many witnesses are there to try and elicit emotions, not to talk facts.

That’s because they want people to throw off rationality. It works, unfortunately. It works because people are emotional creatures. That’s why anti-gunners like to bring speakers who can talk from emotion; because it does sometimes sway people.

However, Amy Swearer of the Heritage Foundation was one who came in armed with facts. However, that wasn’t all she brought to the table during her prepared remarks. No, not at all.

No, she was able to bring a bit of emotion herself.

.@AmySwearer delivering basic facts about how Americans use firearms to @HouseJudiciary in their hearing on “assault weapons” is the dopamine hit I didn’t know I needed—but I wasn’t expecting the story about her mom.
