Diana DeGette, the author of Colorado legislation aimed at limiting high-capacity magazines, has faced criticism for her apparent lack of understanding regarding firearms terminology, specifically confusing bullets, clips, and magazines. This raises concerns about the competence of lawmakers in crafting effective gun control legislation.
