“I held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I hadn’t. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving. And the bullet that is utilized, a .50 caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street.” - Rep. @JacksonLeeTX18 pic.twitter.com/U71ir6BHZH

While explaining her efforts to urge the Senate to pass gun control, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) described AR-15s as “heavy” rifles that shoot “.50 caliber” bullets.

Lee said she held an AR-15 but wishes she had not, due to its incredible weight. She said, “It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving.”
