9/11 Truther and Bush-hater...seems the shooter shared opinions with Dims in the nutty factor—

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/bush_administration/22_believe_bush_knew_about_9_11_attacks_in_advance

Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure. Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks.

Page three of article from NY Times:
“He became intrigued by antigovernment conspiracy theories, including that the Sept. 11 attacks were perpetrated by the government and that the country’s central banking system was enslaving its citizens. His anger would well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government.”

If you republicans pass one anti gun law or even allow one to come to the floor... I will go third party forever. After 38 years of loyalty to the republican party... I will be one person that will help to drive a stake through the party’s heart.

“Clips”? LOL.

[blau993]

If The Lout could find a “clip” that holds 33 rounds of ammunition, I would join him in a movement to ban it. Any such “clip” would almost certainly be disfunctional and unsafe.

[muir_redwoods]

"The current law in MA references large capacity "ammunition feeding device" or AFD. Not clips or mags."

I'm no gunsmith but I would argue that it's the slide or the bolt that is the device that actually feeds the ammunition.

But then what do I know?

[GenXteacher]

Frank Lautenberg....proudly serving the Communist cause since 1924.

[Osage Orange]

For that matter...it could be someone with really fast and nimble fingers.

The law is an ass........

And the lawmakers are W%#&^$!!

[RobinOfKingston]

Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks.

That means that 12.5% of Republicans think he did know or might have known. Foreknowledge of the event and not stopping it would make him (or anyone) complicit. Incredible!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

**Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said he would introduce the measure to re-establish a prohibition that lapsed in 2004 on clips that feed more than 10 rounds at a time.***

And Pat Sherrell used two National Guard issued .45 cal handguns with 7 round magazines when he killed 14 people at the post office in Edmond, OK back in 1986.

This idiot thinks that all casulties happen with the last bullets in a 30 round magazine.

[Eagle Eye]

"The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly

So?

[TigersEye]

"The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly"

That is exactly what is needed when facing two or more armed attackers.

[TYVets]

It is impossible to cure stupid in some voters.

[B4Ranch]

No, their audience don’t know the difference between a clip and a magazine.

[Arrowhead1952]

My God, these idiots don’t know the difference between a clip and a magazine.

That is nothing!!

[FR thread] Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill

From this article:

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.
