You should listen to Gov Romney defending Massachusetts’ tough gun control laws that he promised to never chip away at, and then proved it by banning “assault” rifles. And he’s now promising that if such legislation gets to his desk as president, he will sign it.
If words are the atoms of the First Amendment, then ammo is the atom of the Second.
Political figures who relentlessly attempt to suppress one part of the Constitution they don’t like cannot be trusted wih the remander.
PS does Lautenberg know what day of the week it is?
Lautenberg is so left wing he makes Obama seem almost
centrist and McCarthy is probably crazier than the shooter
in Aurora.
Neither one can do anything except knee jerk react to events. And neither one of them can carry on a coherent conversation when interviewed by even the friendliest of
MSM syncophants.
Remander = remainder
I haven’t read the number of rounds fired either, that info may not have been released. The rifle jammed and there were rounds left in the 100 round drum mag, he then fired pistol rounds. It’s probably safe to say he didn’t shoot too many more rounds than a hundred, if that.
The hype about him buying 6000 rounds is just that, hype, plus it was legal and those rounds could have been bought at a retail outlet or at a gun show.
Desperation.......
Agreed, and that’s what Dingy Harry and other Rats are afraid will happen. Let it be so!
The largest mass murder only needed 1 gallon of gasoline.
Wow, libs are so much smarter than we.
All we had to do in Afghanistan was to have their legislature pass a ban on IEDs.
Problem solved.
“Reid (D-Nev.) said last week that he does not intend to bring gun control legislation to the floor and President Obama has been reluctant”
You pussies don’t have the balls to do it!
Go ahead, we triple-dog dare you ...
(I’m sick and tired of Dims hesitating to grab that 2nd amend. third rail.)
If we can be forced to purchase insurance, we can most definitely be forced to buy ammo. This legislation would drive this horrendous fact home. I'm seriously going to recommend this to my rep. Someone has to rub this profligate government's face in the ridiculousness of it all.
Sales of ammo just went up.
Democrats never let a tragedy go to waste if they think they can walk on some dead bodies to further their agenda.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.)- two jerks with their usual knee jerk reaction to events. The side show bob shooter didn’t get many rounds off as his big magazine jammed, the shotgun held the usual 3 or 4 shells and the handguns magazines were not all used up. He may have had a lot of rounds in his apartment, but killed with far fewer. Limit rounds and the bad guys will use something else, like a big glass jug of gasoline - will that require a limit on gas sales?
>> The shooter who killed 12 and injured 58 in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater this month had purchased over 6,000 rounds of ammunition anonymously on the Internet shortly before going on his killing spree, according to law enforcement officials <<
.
Bullshit!
You can’t purchase a stick of chewing gum on line anonymously. Paypal and credit cards are far from anonymous.
McVey killed a lot more with fertilizer. Should we ban that too?
