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 hasnt let up a bit since.
2. Dick Durbin (D.-Ill.) Minority whip is top anti-gun activist in his partys 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.
There has got to be a way to get this country back on track.
Thats right, but that was 1984, and a democratic mayor wasn't exactly backing mondale, and NYC did not want to go back to the horrible memories of Jimmy Carter.
The odds of that happening again, are slim and none, and someone buried slim off staten island.
A complete unknown (Pataki) beat Cuomo.
Pataki beat Cuomo, a conservative did not win that race.
Pataki actually ran as a tax cutting pro-abortion, pro-gun contol (which played into his tough on crime persona) against Cuomo.
In a sad bit of irony, Cuomo and (with one exception) issues and viewpoints, are pretty much now the same as Patakis.
Reagan was a conservative, but every other republican that has held either statewide office in NY or mayorial office in NYC, to call them conservative, would be beyond a stretch (hell, I can name several democratic governors right now who might be considered to conserivative for New York).
Rudy is a Democrat for all cases except for fiscal issues. Rudy is even for cut and run when it comes to Iraq.
Question for these senators. What tool do your bodyguards use to protect you??
Perhaps I should have said "Tyrant wannabes, one and all."
or just wannabes :)
Could be, but in the case of DeWhiner, it's true.
New York, Massachusetts, and California--the liberal, smelly, hairy, unwashed armpits of the nation.
Which confirms where the liberal's power is concentrated - the left and right coast (northeast section).
1.Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.)
That's the same schumer who yelled; "Long live our socialist revolution!", at a DNC meeting, right?
Yes, he is a traitor.
What makes Mike DeWine (R.-Ohio) a republican?
Too far above the Mason-Dixon line for me to know, sorry.
Hey, I'll admit that WA is a smelly liberal cesspool, too. But, our two moronic senators didn't make the list--yours did. Oh, and if it weren't for court-enabled chronic 'Rat election fraud, we'd have a real conservative governor here.
As a 42 year resident of Washington I DO NOT take umbrage at your statement. Here's a quote from Senator Patty Murray that was in the Yakima newspaper circa 1992-1993. I'm paraphrasing a bit, but am accurate in essence. "I think that people should have guns if they have a good reason. I haven't heard a good reason yet."
Brooklynites don't have the balls to defend themselves? I DARE you to go break into a persons apartment on Eastern Pkwy or on Pitkin Ave!!! Them 'brothers' down there would whoop your sorry NJ arse back over the VZ bridge and outer-bridge so hard your great great grandparents would feel it!
FReepmail me and tell me how it goes after you are discharged from Kings County Hospital!!
But I forgot, those areas are satellites of Manhattan, aka p-ssy central.
Here's a question that you can throw at any politician who quacks about taking your weapons.
Q:"Senator, only two types of people fear an armed, honest citizenry. Criminals and tyrants. Which one are you, sir?"
You are 100% right.. The areas you mentioned are all satelite areas on manhattan. Most of those areas are yuppies who cant afford the upper east side. Yes, they are loaded with limp wristed p-ssies.
The most dangerous place to be is between Schumer and a camera.
