Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill (BAN shoulderthingsthatgoup!)

[Tejas]

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0111/47338.html

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.

Another vocal supporter for gun control, Illinois Rep. Mike Quigley, told POLITICO that he hopes “something good” can come from the Arizona tragedy – perhaps discussion on a new assault weapon ban, sales at gun shows and tracing measures.




She's baaa-aaack!

1. From someone who has also suffered terribly

Give'em Hell Carolyn. :hug:

[Tejas]

7. She's an ambulance-chaser.

Punish an entire country of law-abiding citizens for the actions of one individual?

[Raine]

33. She's another Nancy Grace exploiting her personal

tragedy to promote her own issues except she takes the opposite point of view from Grace. x(

30. Yup ... go after Palin and the teabaggers

and don't take the attention off of them! Taking advantage of a tragedy like this for your own personal issue is disgusting. x(

[Bold Lib]

3. Oh goody, lets see if we can pull a repeat of 94 shall we.

Do I need the sarcasm thingy to go up?

[KILL THE WISE ONE]

4. because assault weapon ban worked so well?

[Pancho Sanza]

5. Pols like them do know how to get support from ignorant constituents.

With friends like that.........etc.

6. You know this about Carolyn McCarthy, right?

"On December 7, 1993, her husband, Dennis, was killed and her son, Kevin, severely injured, on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train at the Merillon Avenue station, when a mass murderer, Colin Ferguson, opened fire on random unarmed passengers."

She's not some random anti-gun nut; she has good reason for her position.

10. Why do you call loyal Democrats names?

[ProgressiveProfessor]

14. Have you seen some of the posts about Giffords here even after she was shot?

[Tejas]

15. Um, maybe because the blood in Arizona isn't even dry yet?

[Kingofalldems]

19. Pitiful excuse

[Tejas]

22. Truth hurts,

but I'm sure you'd call her a "great American".

[X_Digger]

32. She was a Repiblican until 1996

She voted for the Iraq invasion, and the reauthorization.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

12. OK, she is an anti with a grudge

That is not a good reason for her position

[Kingofalldems]

13. Wasn't talking to you

[Bold Lib]

17. Good cause for an emotional reaction, but not reason.

And the Democratic Party will suffer if she is successful in her emotion based legislation.

27. It's not an emotional reaction, it's continuance of

an agenda.

Shackle law-abiding citizens with more laws.....well, actually laws that have been proven not to work in the past.

[Abq_Sarah]

54. She'll submit herr legislation

Possibly get a co-sponsor or two and it will never go anywhere.

[beevul]

18. Yes.

"She's not some random anti-gun nut; she has good reason for her position."

No. She has a good reason for her feelings.

She has terrible reasons for her position.


Watch the video.


She wants to ban something, doesnt know what it is or what it does, but she wants to ban it.


Nobody should be making decisions that others have to live with based on such ignorance, regardless of how they feel, and regardless of what party they belong to or don't.

No, shes not a random anti-gun nut, but where firearm and law are concerned, she may as well be.

[benEzra]

44. Her husband was murdered with a handgun and a normal-capacity magazine,

so she fights to outlaw rifles with handgrips that stick out, even though rifles are the least misused class of weapons in the country.

That's either profoundly illogical, or opportunism, IMO.

[Ter]

52. Keyword: Unarmed

n/t

[Kingofalldems]

9. Agree with her totally

[Tejas]

20. Then you'll just love this...

Go here, just try your best to ignore their Republican roots.

26. Responsible gun owntership isn't partisan. Brady is a loyal Republican.

He's still severely wounded from a deadly weapon--yes, a gun.

[Tejas]

34. Jim Brady doesn't run things, a 3-term Republican is their mouthpiece.

Please, inform yourself.

[RSillsbee]

46. He was shot by a .22 caliber revolver NT

[Katya Mullethov]

49. Why didnt they go after 22 revolvers ?

Lots and lots of kids were watching , and thinking that very thing .

They're all older now .

[RSillsbee]

50. Because they aren't stupid

They used the opportunity to go after "assault weapons"

[Katya Mullethov]

51. Pretty much the unanimous conclusion

Most kids are pretty smart .

[tammywammy]

11. She should be pushing for mental health care. n/t

[X_Digger]

16. Oh FFS..

Not this shit again..

[Tejas]

55. Beam me up!

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

23. Yeah, what a laugher. Her husband and I believe son (daughter?) were killed by a gun-wielding

murderer on public transportation and now a colleague is possibly mortally wounded by another gun-wielding criminal who killed 7 people including a bright, beautiful 9 year old girl.

Sorry, can't summon a laugh or support for your stupid post.

[Tejas]

28. A drunk driver killed a friend of mine - ban booze!

Oh wait, we already tried that.

[Tejas]

29. ...for the children!

[friendly_iconoclast]

37. A Lovejoy is the best argument you can muster? Tsk.

[Raine]

24. Oh Jesus, here we go again!

:argh:

[cbc5g]

25. Gun control leaves guns in the hands of criminals and good people defenseless

If you think gun control works, go to Mexico..it doesn't.

Like drugs, if you ban them or make them hard to get, the criminal element will fill the gap.

[oneshooter]

31. If they succeed then prepare to loose .....

the House, Senate, and the White House for many years. Remember the loss due to the AWB, this will be worse and last longer.

36. Voters don't forget the AWB

oh wait, John Kasich voted for it and ended up with a B- rating from the NRA and then got elected governor of Ohio. Facts tell a different story.

[friendly_iconoclast]

38. We should accept your estimation and not Bill Clinton's?

He stated in his memoirs that the AWB cost the Democrats control of Congress.

[Tejas]

40. Your example is a Republican Governor, not sure I understand your point?

[safeinOhio]

42. Point is he voted for the AWB and got elected

governor over a Democrat that had an A+ rating. Yet many think that gun rights are what swing elections. It does not always do that. What swings elections is $ used to spin peoples records.

[Tejas]

43. Um, maybe, JUST MAYBE because he spoke on O'Reilly about how STUPID he had been?

[Hoopla Phil]

56. Please look here for evidence of the continuing fallout from the failed AWB.

53. Loose and lose have got to be the most confused words in the dictionary

n/t

[shadowrider]

57. I disagree

to, too and two

their, they're, there

I'd say those rank right up their myself..heh

[jody]

35. If Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano support McCarthy it will cost Obama many votes. n/t

[-..__...]

39. A one-note-tuba if there ever was one...

her whole Raison d'être/political career has been centered around gun control.

Maybe during the 'Golden Age of Gun Grabbing' (80's - 90's), that sentiment was popular and the anti's carried some weight, but not anymore.

She's a throwback... Neanderthal... out of touch... an anachronism... something to be put on display in a museum to show our children and grand children to point and shake our heads at in bewilderment.

Even Dianne Feinstein (the former Queen of gun control), seems to have been relatively quite the past few years.

McCarthy needs to have a sock shoved in her mouth or learn to STFU and sit-down.

[Euromutt]

45. But it's the only thing she's going for her

Fact is, McCarthy is essentially a Republican on everything except gun control; she used to be a registered Republican and originally wanted to run as a Republican, except the local party chapter didn't want to support her agenda, so she ran as a Democrat instead (and which idiot thought that was a good idea?). If she stops militating on the issue of guns, she'll have nothing left to distinguish her from any other political candidate.

58. Where are all the people who claimed that gun owners were paranoid for expecting this? n/t
