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.

As I stated in another post, if gun control laws work so well we should just have the Afghanistan, Pakistan & Iraq governments implement gun control laws and then the terrorist would never be able to get guns.

I forgot to put “sarcasm” in the other post for those who don’t get it.

Getting rid of the 1st and second amendments is priority one for the rabid crazed communists that are left in the remnants of the Democrat Party.

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.

Loughner legally purchased his weapon – a Glock 19 with an extended magazine – from an Arizona store. The same kind of extended magazine was illegal under the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.

“The ability to buy a weapon that fires hundreds of bullets in less than a minute,” said Quigley. “He had an additional magazine capability. That’s not what a hunter needs. That’s not what someone needs to defend their home. That’s what you use to hunt people.”

That must have been quite a magazine.

“That’s not what someone needs to defend their home. That’s what you use to hunt people.”

Well, just ask several people who live close to the border. When their homes were seiged by several gang members, carrying Mac 10’s, AK-47’s or Ouzi’s. Any NRA member or 2nd amendment defender, should shout this from the rooftops! Stop laying down and letting the Democrat Marxist Fascist pricks strip us of the very thing that allowed us to form a new nation in the first place.

Here again, it was not the lack of gun laws that caused this tragedy, it was the complete lack of morality and responsible behavior of the individual. These idiots cannot legislate the cause, even though they still believe that they can.

Hi, Mayr and all:

Isn’t Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy a one trick pony whose issue has always been Gun Control since her husband was gunned down amongst others by an Other Than Caucasian nut case on a subway car?

If I remember correctly, the OTC nut case was even allowed to defend himself in court before the jury found him guilty.

She can try, but I doubt the Bill will make it out of the House.

And what specifically is ‘high capacity ammunition’? I’ve been around firearms all my life and that’s a new one on me.

Jack.

Know what?

They do not even know what they are talking about...

And that most amazes me!

This people have no brains at all. But one interesting point gunners should target...

Who is the shooter that using only one G19 could do all that harm?

Was he that skilled if in between magazines he had been grabbed by a lady?

There are still questions, serious questions to be answered by that phony Sheriff!
