Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) told Vice News that he thought people still needed assault weapons to kill “feral pigs.”
Said Cassidy: “If you talk to the people that own it, killing feral pigs in the, whatever, the middle of Louisiana. They’ll wonder: ‘Why would you take it away from me?’ I’m law abiding, I’ve never done anything, I use it to kill feral pigs. The action of a criminal deprives me of my right.”
Insider: “Cassidy’s remarks inadvertently referenced a meme from 2019 involving a hypothetical argument on Twitter made in support of keeping assault weapons legal.”
