10. Mike DeWine (R.-Ohio) Consistently the only Republican to speak in favor of anti-2nd Amendment legislation on the Senate floor.
9. Jack Reed (D.-R.I.) The most vocal opponent on the Senate floor of congressional legislation to prevent lawsuits against firearms manufacturers based on the actions of criminals.
8. John Kerry (D.-Mass.) Accepted a shotgun as a campaign gift from union officials, even though it would have been banned under a bill he cosponsored.
7. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D.-N.Y.) Though just in her first term as an elected official, she campaigned for gun control while First Lady, advocating gun owner licensing, handgun registration and the retention by the federal government of records on lawful purchasers of firearms.
6. Frank Lautenberg (D.-N.J.) Despite government studies showing that fewer than 1% of criminals get their guns from gun shows, Lautenberg sponsored legislation to run gun shows out of business.
5. Dianne Feinstein (D.-Calif.) Sponsor of the much-vaunted assault-weapon ban of 1994-2004. Despite the ban's having been found to have been misdirected and irrelevant to crime, Feinstein said she wished for a stronger law, one that would say, "Mr. and Mrs. America, turn [your firearms] all in." Feinstein carried a handgun for her own protection in California.
4. Barbara Boxer (D.-Calif.) Sponsor of bills to ban compact handguns, such as those commonly carried for protection, by making the legality of their manufacture in the U.S. contingent upon the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' (BATFE) regulation permitting the same type of firearm to be imported. BATFE uses regulatory authority over firearms importation arbitrarily and, some say, illegally. Boxer hoped the BATFE would do the same with U.S.-made firearms.
3. Ted Kennedy (D.-Mass.) A generation ago, this liberal lion sponsored legislation to ban and otherwise restrict handguns. He hasn’t let up a bit since.
2. Dick Durbin (D.-Ill.) Minority whip is top anti-gun activist in his party’s Senate leadership and a reliable activist for anti-gun legislation in his own right.
1. Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.) Sponsor of legislation to ban firearms as "assault weapons," to ban hunting, recreational, practice and defensive ammunition as "armor piercing," and to impose a waiting period on handgun sales. The member of Congress who most seeks publicity for himself on gun-control issues.
The treason list...........
Already know their treason too well. It is what to do about them that is the debate.
Anytime Chuckie and this group of thieves want my guns, they are most welcome to come try to get them. No, not send their imperial federal government thugs, but come themselves, one at a time or all together. If they think they can take them, come and get them. From MY CHUCK: "From My Cold Dead Hand."
Already know these neo-national socialist a$$holes all too well.
Unfortunately the JBTs are exactly who they'll send. And not necessarily the federal ones, but state and local as well. It wasn't all federal JBTs unconstitutionally confiscating firearms in the chocolate city.
I have said it before on other threads:
A conservative president (Reagan) beat Mondale with 54% of the vote in NY.
A complete unknown (Pataki) beat Cuomo.
Liberals lose when confronted by conservatives.
Even in NY.
McCain, Dodd, Mukulski, Sarbanes, Stabenow, Chafee, Leahy.
Correct. RINOs, however, have been doing everything imaginable to drill into people's heads that only "moderates" can beat Democrats in most elections.
....and unfortunately, many are buying their BS.
Concur. Accordingly, CWII ping.
You forgot John Warner (RINO-VA)
They aren't the disease, but the symptom. These tyrant wannabes weren't elected by accident, but by solid majorities of the voters in their oblasts. It is hand-wringing liberal populations in the cesspits that these pieces of feces come from that are the problem.
You could string every one of them up from the lampost tomorrow, and after the next election, the names would have changed, but the attitudes toward freedom would be exactly the same. This is why I hold New Yorkers and their fellow travelers in MA CA, etc. in the deepest contempt. This is why we have to fight to hold on to the little freedom we have left in places like GA, TX, and AL
