""Keeping assault weapons off our streets is common sense," said Senator Lautenberg"

Senator Lautenberg, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Schumer and Senator Boxer have an unusual obsession with gun control.

Why ?

[AnOldCowhand]

Senator Lautenberg, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Schumer and Senator Boxer have an unusual obsession with gun control. Why ?

Because it is hard to tyrannize an armed populace.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

....have an unusual obsession with gun control. Why ?

Fear. They are terrified that someone will get fed up with their shenanigans and send them to hell with a high velocity booster.

NOT THAT I'M ADVOCATING SUCH THINGS, but they keep it up and they may soon find themselves in just such a circumstance. Slaves can only be whipped so long before they lose fear of the lash.

Why ?

Penis envy?

[Mr. Mojo]

Senator Lautenberg, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Schumer and Senator Boxer have an unusual obsession with gun control.

So do Senators Kennedy, Leahy, McCain, Clinton, Chafee, Stabenow, Dodd, Graham, Mikulski, and Sarbanes. All received F- grades in the GOA Senate Ratings for the 108th Congress, which is defined as being an "Anti-Gun Leader: outspoken anti-gun advocate who carries anti-gun legislation."

It's very simple really, these politicians are all members of the Democrat party . This political party has as a fundamental religious belief set in theological concrete the notion that you are far to STUPID to wipe your own back side, flush the toilet, wash your hands in the proper sequence when using the lavatory . The notion of a wretched peasant having a firearm is something that absolutely appalls/terrorizes them. After all they can't have the peons thinking for themselves that would in the view of these politicians upset the "natural order of things".
