EXCERPT: "One of the fiercest gun-control advocates in Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), pounced on the shooting massacre in Tucson Sunday, promising to introduce legislation as soon as Monday. McCarthy ran for Congress after her husband was gunned down and her son seriously injured in a shooting in 1993 on a Long Island commuter train.
"My staff is working on looking at the different legislation fixes that we might be able to do and we might be able to introduce as early as tomorrow," McCarthy told POLITICO in a Sunday afternoon phone interview.
Gun control activists cried it was time to reform weapons laws in the United States, almost immediately after a gunman killed six and injured 14 more, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, in Arizona on Saturday.
Many said that people with a history of mental instability, like the alleged shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, should not be able to buy a gun — and no one should be able to buy stockpiles of ammunition used by the 22-year-old assailant."
------------------------------------------------
One wonders what would have happened on that NY train if one person had been carrying a concealed weapon and USED it on that nut before he started walking through the train shooting people like they were sheep.
But it is amazing that McCarthy waited as long as she did before trying to take everyone's guns away, the typical liberal knee-jerk reaction. If Jared had mental problems, and it appears that he did, then WHY did not the Pima Co. Sheriff not annotate this in records that could be researched by the FBI in the records search required by federal law, for all legitimate gun purchases.
Almost laughable, is the hoplophobe's mewl about stockpiled ammunition. Dear morons, he used less than one box of ammo in this attack. Duh.
This is how the Left works my friends. They seize upon one thing, and try to force their view on the entire populace. How many American's carry concealed weapons without a problem? Millions. The VA Tech shooter got his weapons from a legitmate gun dealer, who could not check his medical records (mental), due to privacy concerns advocated by the Left. But not to be outdone, the Left spewed their venom about gun control, gun show loopholes, etc, until they found out that fact and then they tucked their little head back into their little turtle shell, and crawled away. (correction of previous post due to Hardnox's sharp eyes)
Even dumber is Pennsylvania Rep. Robert Brady, naturally a Dummycrat. This clown plans to introduce a bill that would make it a crime for anyone to use language or symbols that could be seen as threatening or violent against a federal official.
Where was he when the Left was screaming murder Bush? So the middle finger, raised against, say, an IRS agent, might be punishable?
What is the Left's problem with the First and Second Amendment? Can someone please answer that? Here we go with what the Left has been drooling over, a Reichstag moment, committed by one of their own.
The Left ALWAYS ignores their own lawlessness.
Carolyn McCarthy jumps at her Reichstag moment.
Evidently, we SERIOUSLY need to clean house in 2012 and get rid of these hoplophobes and anti freedom of speech leftists.
LEST WE FORGET: Mark Penn noted that it took the Oklahoma City tragedy in order for President Clinton to "reconnect" with the American people. He then stated that President Obama needed a "similar event" to achieve that reconnection following his party’s midterm losses. Never let a good crisis go to waste, huh Mark?
Gunny,
ReplyDeleteWhat do we do? This is getting crazy now.
Gunny,
ReplyDeleteGood post. You are mistaken on the VA Tech shooter. He purchased them legally but his mental condition was not reported to the law due to privacy issues championed by the libs. Exactly the same scenario as in Tuscon.
As always the left is wrong on so many issues. They prove it daily as the live in an alternate universe.
I forgot to mention that VA Tech is a "gun free zone" whereas even students with a concealed carry permit is not allowed. Even the security guards there don't carry.
ReplyDeleteJP,
ReplyDeleteKeep putting out the truth so that the Left can't dominate the airwaves with their bullshit. Keep fighting to keep the 1st/2d AM undamaged by the Left. To them, there IS NO OTHER side of the story, they would shut down free speech and ban guns in a NY SECOND if they could. That alone should send shivers up the spines of freedom loving Americans.
Hardnox,
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected, thanks. I will change it asap.
It never fails does it, that anything the Left touches turns to sh*t. I heard on the radio this AM that up in Canada, in a handgun free nation, 2 people were shot and killed in Calgary with, oddly enough, a handgun.
As far as VA Tech goes, not allowing security to carry is simply stupid.
Strange thought process.
ReplyDeleteYou notice that they were again talking about sport shooting and hunting. One of them was saying you didn't need a high capacity magazine for hunting...
They completely ignore the true intent of the Second Amendment.
Go back a bit.
Hillary supported the 2nd because she loved duck hunting as a little girl.
McCain supported the 2nd because of "..sportsmen."
Kerry gets his picture taken holding a goose gun.
They just don't get it.
They are all for the 2nd but they ALL jump at every opportunity to impose more gun control.
Since people are killed with knives, are we going to ban knives over 2"?
ReplyDeleteRequire a permit to own and carry a knive?
And now the left also wans to bend the 1st Amendment, by making speech against Congressmen an illegal act?
Sonds subversive to me
It figures the asshat gun grabbers would be salivating over this. WHY don't the idiots ban NUTCASES instead? Makes about as much sense.
ReplyDeleteBuck,
ReplyDeleteIndeed. They are lying ass politicians all seeking to take advantage of this tragedy to impose more government control. They are sickening.
Pack Rat,
ReplyDeleteI was stunned when I read about that asshat Brady.
We've been waiting for them to find a Reichstag moment and run with it, here it is. They simply cannot grasp the fact that there are mental cases out there who go ballistic and making more laws won't prevent anything.
Funny how the Left ignores Mexico, where legal gun ownership is heavily restricted/banned, and 30,000 people have been...shot dead.
clyde,
ReplyDeleteI am leading the effort to ban pencils because they cause misspelled words.
Clyde, Gunny:
ReplyDeleteI do believe y'all are on to something here.
Ban pencils. Right. Good.
How about let's ban f---ing because it causes pregnancy?
Buck,
ReplyDeleteHAHA! yeah, the left would like to ban breathing because it causes CO2!
Gunny:
ReplyDeleteRepeating here what I said in an email.
Conservative commentators all talk about the government, "..shoving health care down the Americans' throats."
But nothing is ever said about the 70+ years the fed has been shoving gun control down our throats.
Nobody says anything about that.
While we are at it,let's ban liberalism,since it IS a known cause of stupidity.
ReplyDeleteAhh Clyde. I get your point, but I would suggest it is the other way around. Lets ban stupidity and that of course would eliminate liberalism.
ReplyDelete@navyvet: Yep,that would work as well.
ReplyDeleteBuck,
ReplyDeleteGood point. If it wasn't for the NRA the 2nd would be long gone.
The Supremes have voted 5-4 on a number of 2nd Am issues. One more Lib and it's toast.
Odd how the left thinks that the constitution is a menu that the left can pick the things that they like and disregard the one that they don't.
Our side likes to play by the rules. The left says they don't need no stinkin rules, we'll make them up as we go.
Clyde & Navyvet,
ReplyDeleteExcellent points. Maybe we can get a Constitutional amendment!
