McCarthy, who is regarded as one of the toughest gun-control proponents on Capitol Hill, has dedicated her congressional service to reducing gun violence after a tragic incident in 1993 in which gunman Colin Ferguson unleashed a hail of bullets aboard a packed Long Island Railroad commuter train, and used 15-round magazines to kill six people, including McCarthy’s husband, and injured 19 more, including her son.
Exactly.
A great tragedy and at least two wasted lives - her husband’s and hers.
Instead of rationally attacking the kind of justice system which allows a guy like the maniac who killed her husband wander around in the first place and cheat justice by not hanging afterward, she has focused her entire life, her entire soul, brain and body on... sportsmen who legally own and employ guns and law abiding citizens who seek to defend themselves.
Ms. McCarthy appears to me to be a deeply disturbed person whose sense of logic has been warped by her personal tragedy.
Unfortunately, sinister elements in the Media and the Democrat Party to whom the Constitution and Bill of Rights are merely an inconvenient piece of paper obstructing the ability of the better class to control us lesser mortals have employed her for their own ends.
Exactly.
Every time some moronic nut does something horrible with a firearm the dems first response is to take away the rights of all the law abiders who are perfectly normal mentally.
That’s also lunatic thinking!
yet again these clowns show they cannot understand the real world.
They can put more and more laws into action but it won’t stop a nutcase from killing, . These people live in la la land they really do and that goes for those idiots up in the north east who can only say guns kill but cannot understand how a gun can load itself, cock itself, aim itself and pull the trigger itself.
WOW more laws that will tell the bad guys , gang bangers and the criminals.

I guess she used funds from the settlement from the shootings to buy a 2 million home in the Hamptons? She’s the
unltimate back-bencher,who’s only called upon in these cases.
I remember when McCarthy ran for office for the very first time. She claimed to be a lifelong Republican that changed over to Democrat because of the gun control issue. She claimed that she still supported everything the Republicans did and said on all other issues. The gun control issue being the only reason for her switch.
A couple weeks later I watched her give a campaign speech in which she denounced Republicans on Medicare and Social Security. Claiming that Republicans wanted to throw old people out into the streets, etc. She had dusted off an old DNC propaganda handbook and was reciting it word for word while some DNC handler of hers stood beside her smiling. A few years ago the liberal ADA gave her a 90 liberal rating.
