So lame, cicelline is an embarrassment to the state. I got sour on him when he tried to call a pistol brace a bump stock a few months back. Ridiculous.

I hadn't heard of this before. Have anything to read up on?

Blatantly false information about firearms.

Oh. That seems like a pretty simple confusion of gun features that doesn't change the point of the statements - that bump stocks enable the use of semi automatic weapons as effectively automatic weapons.
I don't think I'd personally characterize that as a lie, but fair enough -- it seems you hold politicians to a higher standard of accuracy in their statements. Great! Who do you think does a better job at avoiding this type of thing?

He is claiming that a collapsible shoulder brace functions as a bump stock which is absolutely NOT the case. It’s not a “simple misunderstanding” it’s an untrue statement. Plus bump stocks have been banned in this state since Raimondo in 2018.
And personally I’ve seldom seen a politician who actually knows their ass from their elbow about guns… from simple jargon errors (“round” vs “bullet” is a common one) to blatant lies (Kevin DeLeon: https://youtu.be/iJmFEv6BHM0 )
If you want more examples I’d be happy to find you some.

You mean like at least three SCOTUS justices when they said Roe v Wade was " settled law". Which lies are worse?
