C4 News asked Republicans about gun control and this woman’s jaw-dropping 26-second response says it all

President Joe Biden says he want to ban A4-15s after the semi-automatic rifle was used by a gunman in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Matt Frei of Channel 4 News was at the Republican convention in Milwaukee and thought he’d ask some of the delegates what they made of that.

And while you probably know which way the conversation is going to go, it’s still a proper jaw-dropper, not least the twist in the tale which surely no-one saw coming.

Matt Frei, "President Biden said he wants to ban AR-15s after the shooting at the weekend, do you agree with him?"

Lady with hat, "Absolutely not"

MF, "Why not?"

Lady with hat, "I own AR-15s. I own a pink one, it's really scary"

MF, "How many guns do you have?"

She’s a nurse? Extraordinary scenes …

And here’s exactly what people made of that.

You need to go experience USA. I was in Salt Lake City, Utah, over Christmas. We visited Sheels, the family friendly store with camping equipment, paddle boards, a Ferris wheel and guns. Every type of gun you could possibly want. You can just walk up & hold a gun. Different world pic.twitter.com/Gy4U5os44w

I’m sorry, but there is no other explanation – she, like millions of other Americans, are as thick as fuck.

I have no wish to go to America, and the one thing I do know is we are nothing like Americans, why would you think it’s great to have a pink AR-15 ‍♀️

When I go in to get a booster jab I don’t want I’d delivered by an AR-15

Anyone else never want to visit America again?

Yeah I don’t think the second amendment was written in mind for the types of guns that exist now. I mean it was 1791 after all. Guns were very different then, obviously.

So guns are more important than American lives.

To conclude …

Lady with hat: Come to America!

Rest of the world: No thanks.
