So does this mean we head to the nearest WalMart and stock up again?

If they don’t have the stones to face armed constituents, its time for them to retire.

Apparently, the RATs in the House haven’t heard that they lost the November election.

Fear the government that fears your guns.

Clearly, there should have been a pop quiz after the Constitution was read to them.

Gun-rights groups said they believe McCarthy’s bill is unlikely to pass in a House controlled by Republicans.

It'd be even MORE unlikely to pass in a house controlled by AMERICANS.

Threatening a federal official. I can't wait to see how that language plays out in practice.

I hope We The People note that any politician with a D next to their name wants to steal our freedom and put themselves in as dictators.

Might be prudent. I am not sure Boehner and many in the GOP will stand against all the hysteria. I can see a "bipartisan" bill passed with unified Democrat support and enough Republicans to reach a majority.

Venezuela should welcome these Democrats with open arms.

If Sheriff Dipstick had been as serious about doing his job as he has been demonizing Rush, talk radio and Fox News, he might have discovered Loughner was threatening people, including the Congresswoman.

However, thanks to our current way of handling certifiable nutcases, they are as likely to be out on the street as in an institution. Can’t have their civil liberties violated, can we. When I lived in Phoenix 50 years ago, the answer was 24th and Van Buren, the state mental hospital.

Yeah I’m sure the nutjob would have changed his mind about shooting Gabby Giffords. After all he wouldn’t have wanted to break the law or anything.

Carolyn McCarthy is certifiable. In addition, she is a Brady Puppet.

The other guy, well, I guess he would have approed of the Alien and Sedition Acts.

Don’t take this for granted. There ARE anti-gun Republicans.

Write your congresscritters and ureg them to oppose this.

“Among the symbols Brady seeks to ban was one posted on the Internet by former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin that showed Democratic congressional districts, including Giffords’, with the crosshairs of a rifle scope superimposed over them. “

It would make MORE sense to ban the name Lee, noting:

(1) Lee Harvey Oswald
(2) Ronnie Lee Gardner
(3) Jared Lee Loughner

and also middle names, noting that every deranged mass murderer (e.g. John Wayne Gacy) seems to have one.

Seems then I might need to stock up on some more ammo. Been seriously looking at either an M1A or Mini14.

Fear the one that doesn't.
