Congressman drafting legislation to make owning a hand gun illegal.
Cleveland) - Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants to ban hand guns in America.
Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that would ban the purchase, sale, transfer or possession of hand guns by civilians. A gun buy-back provision will be included in the bill.
Kucinich announced this move in the aftermath of Monday’s deadly shooting at Virginia Tech.
Kucinich noted in a speech to congress that about 32 people die each day in America due to hand gun related incidents. 33 died at VT.
Kucinich says it's becoming "painfully obvious" that the easy availability of handguns constituents a growing national crisis of public health and safety, one that he says calls for a powerful, wide-ranging response from congress.
He says the level of violence in our society constitutes a national emergency.
Already this Congress, Kucinich has introduced HR 808, legislation to establish a Department of Peace and Nonviolence. It would address the issue of domestic violence, gang violence, and violence in the schools, which is reflected in the current homicide rates.
Kucinich notes recent studies that indicate many killers had histories of mental illness. He says the lack of parity for mental health care remains one of the most serious deficiencies in healthcare in the United States.
Kucinich has also proposed HR 676, Medicare for all. It would establish a universal not-for-profit healthcare system, which would provide full and comprehensive mental healthcare.
Beats playing with his navel lint, I guess.
Dear Mr. President: Please hand over that worm named Kucinich to the state executioners office. Provide him a military tribunal. Hanging’s at sun up. thankyou
There’s a saying....something about the temperature of my lifeless hand....

“how to submit charges to Congress”
Maybe Cong. Ron Paul could help?
(yes, I know Al doesn't hold public office, but he should since he was elected, not selected. And, he's so smart that he might find a way...)
Or, maybe neither of them are dumb enough to commit political suicide. This bill will die an early death, I think.
Possibly. He’d certainly be a good resource. Doing a quick google doesn’t show much in the way of precedent. You get a lot of crap about how this Rep or that Senator should have Treason charges filed, but I can’t find anywhere this was actually done.
There is one good thing about Kucinich.
His wife.
How about we ban Kucinich?

“can’t find anywhere this was actually done.”
About the only time frame I could think of would be the Civil War. (”the late unpleasntness”? the War of Northern Aggression?)
We should turn them in..
one bullet at a time
Kucinich is certainly suffering from a deficiency of mental health care. This article reads like a parody.
Hey Kucinich, Molon labe! (Come and get them!)
House UnAmerican Activities Commission might have come close...
Why don’t we ban the right to free speech while we are at it. Just to shut this idiot up.
I guess it’s just too much work for Dennis to just ammend the Constitution through the normal process.
Yeah but the same people that elect these tools in the first place keep electing them...
