Here comes the Gun Control

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 targeting the high-capacity ammunition the gunman used.

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.

McCarthy said she plans to confer with House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to see “if we can work something through” in the coming week.

McCarthy’s spokesman confirmed the legislation will target the high-capacity ammunition clips the Arizona gunman allegedly used in the shooting, but neither he or the congresswoman offered any further details.

“Again, we need to look at how this is going to work, to protect people, certainly citizens, and we have to look at what I can pass,” McCarthy said. “I don’t want to give the NRA – excuse the pun – the ammunition to come at me either.”

Pennsylvania Rep. Robert Brady, a Democrat from Philadelphia, told CNN that he also plans to take legislative action. He will 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, including a member of Congress.

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.

I said in an earlier thread the crap would start this week, the weekend isn't even over and here we go.

Then you better not even bother with it.

Let's reflect for a moment on a video that never gets old to remind ourselves just who we're dealing with:

So, I'm guessing this will be losely defined, so anything from;

to;

will be deemed Threatening or Violent. Christ, what happened to Freedom of Speech and Expression?

Rep. Robert Brady, that finger is for you, that is how I feel about your willingness to tromp on our rights to express our opinions of you and your cronies in the government under the guise of supposed "safety." here's a novel thought, I can potentially kill someone in an auto accident, you should chop off my legs and arms so I can't drive. I may also be able to spit on someone, so you should sew my mouth shut while your at it, although limiting my ability to freely speak my mind is doing just that, too!


It's been a long day for me, if you can't tell...

Indeed, Brady's quote is the more disturbing. The rest is standard anti-gun blathering

Once again, the issue here is how we handle mental health in this country, not guns.

TheFue, my thoughts exactly.

What a pompous, pretentious bastard.
