Friday’s murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut took the lives of 28 people and has already sparked calls for tighter gun control.
Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) characterized the slayings as “a very fortuitous event for those of us determined to disarm the general public. The fact that so many of the victims were young children should go a long way toward softening up the opposition of the right wing gun nuts who have blocked constructive measures against this much needed action.”
The ineffectiveness of current laws banning weapons in public schools failed to stem McCarthy’s hopes. “Just because existing laws haven’t proved sufficient doesn’t mean we don’t need more of them,” McCarthy argued. “At the very least adding another illegal weapons possession charge to the indictment of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes has got to have some deterrent effect.”
“It’s long past the time that we recognize that the ancient rationale for private gun ownership is no longer relevant,” the Representative said. “People don’t need to personally hunt for food. There are no Indians on the rampage in our towns. The skills our ancestors had with firearms have atrophied in our modern world.”
“America would be a much safer place if only government personnel were allowed to carry guns,” McCarthy maintained. “As history has shown in other countries, concentrating the firepower in the hands of well trained police and military personnel is more conducive to securing a peaceful environment for everyone to enjoy.”

Just like Prohibition was effective against drinking alcohol and the War on Drugs has made us drug-free.
Hard to satire Congresswoman McCarthy, because this is exactly how she feels about the issue!
Satire doesn’t have to be ‘funny’, just on point.
Interesting....You yourself defend a known gun-control Representative. Anybody, and I mean anybody, defending an antigun Representative is is a scumbag.
Why the f*** are you still on our website, you liberal scumbag?
Satire now...tomorrow..? Who can say?
John’s satirical skills are so keen that he is often able to draw in ‘high information’ people like FR posters before they realize they’ve been had. I’ve learned a bit...whenever I see a story that seems to be just a tad absurd, I go back and look for the ‘Semmens label’ before I post and make a fool of myself.
Off your meds or back on the corner again for a nickle bag? Which is it that has you digging around to find something to rant about? Remember your higher power and get control of yourself.
Why, I've even seen people use the murder of 3,000 Americans to make political statements. They must be scumbags, too. Don't you agree "wtc911" ?
My freep-name is not political or clever or meant as self-described satire. It is a tribute to the people I knew personally who died there that day. If you have a problem with that then so be it...I could not care less.
Count on me to follow you until the day you are finally zotted.
Cheers.
Hey, if you’ve got nothing better to do with your time than wasting it on researching months old posts then absolutely, knock yourself out...it’s a bit pathetic (actually, more than a bit) but it’s your life, your choice and we all know your history of choices made,
