McCarthy, 54, spent most of her life as a nurse with no political ambitions. Then, in 1993, her husband was among six people killed during gunman Colin Ferguson's rampage on the Long Island Rail Road. Her son, shot in the head, was one of 19 wounded. While nursing him back from near-death, McCarthy began lobbying for gun control.
Her Washington aspirations took life after her congressman voted to repeal a ban on assault weapons. She was so mad she ran against him in 1996 and won his seat. This Sunday, her story is retold in a TV movie.
Well, if Hollywood thought it good enough for a TV movie, it must be Barf Alert material “fer sure.” Miz McCarthy goes to Washington to show those evil Second Amendment supporters "what for."
Scenario for justice? Lighting strikes twice. The son is gunned down directly in front of a former Concealed Carry Permit holder that had their government permit to exercise the Second Amendment pulled because he had no money to risk in an “appeal” when wrongly barred from carrying a firearm. His quote to her, "Sorry, I could have easily stopped that guy but the government took away my Second Amendment permit.
And here is how it will happen...
Negotiations had been ongoing to lift the block placed by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). He had concerns that the legislation's new costs would not be offset by cuts in other programs and that it did not pay for successful appeals by veterans or other people who say they are wrongly barred from buying a gun.
This week Schumer and Coburn struck a deal: The government would pay for the cost of appeals by gun owners and prospective buyers who argue successfully in court that they were wrongly deemed unqualified for mental health reasons.
So, it one can not afford to loose all the monetary cost of mounting an appeal against a major government agency they loose their Government Permitted Second Amendment “Right.” They will run the risk of going into debt to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars for trying to hang on to their "unalienable" Second Amendment Right.
Yea, that is just great, huh? Thank you Chucky and Carolyn for that step closer to Second American Revolution. And may the appropriate share of spilt blood be on their heads.
Non-thinking scum like her makes me realize their actually can be a use for a public Singapore style caning.
I recall her decision to run and her campaign very well. She claimed to have been a lifelong Republican, and the only reason she switched over to the Democrat Party was because of the gun control issue. She claimed to still agree with the Republicans on all issues except gun control.
Several weeks later I watched her on the news as she slammed the Republicans on Medicare/Social security and she mouthed words and phrases that were right out of the liberal Democrat handbook of propoganda. Republicans are cruel, cold, heartless, wanting to throw senior citizens out on the streets, take away their SS checks, etc.
Her liberal democrat rating from the ADA has hovered around 85-100 percent from year to year.

When she first ran, her Republican opponent really didnt hardly bother to fight for the seat. He didnt bother to start to campaign untill September. Only 2 months before election day (whereas McCarthy got her campaign off the ground in March), and even then he hardly showed up for anything. He would duck out of scheduled debates with her, and wouldnt show up for some scheduled campaign functions as well.
Over the years, registered Republican voters have been fleeing the state, taking their votes with them. As a result, making once safe Republican districts like hers into Democrat districts.
