The lawmaker started off by stating that “military-style weapons” should only be available to the military and not civilians, and then pivoted to talk about magazines. (RELATED: Marie Harf Calls Out ‘High Magazine Clips’)

Wasserman Schultz, while stumbling over her words, argued that Congress should be “making sure that we don’t have high-capacity, rapid-fire magazines that allow mass killing and whose primary purpose is to achieve that.”

“That’s gonna stop this problem,” she insisted.
