With the left looking for its next big cause, Congressional Democrats have latched onto the Sandy Hook massacre as an opportunity to push gun control. Yesterday alone, eight new bills were introduced relating to gun control. Two conservative bills were introduced relating to ending gun free zones under federal law.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) led the way with four bills introduced. Her husband was shot to death in 1993 and her son was severely injured when Colin Ferguson, a mentally unstable black militant (he spent time in his apartment chanting, all the black people killing all the white people), shot up a Long Island commuter train.
She has been a longtime gun control advocate. In 1997, she tried to push a federal law that would have mandated trigger locks on all firearms. She introduced legislation that would have forced gun companies to produce firearms that were child-resistant. In 2007, she tried an assault weapons ban that would have targeted some 65 types of firearms.
The measures McCarthy introduced include:
Significant restrictions on gun show transactions, which would in effect end gun shows; No online purchases of ammunition, and licensing of ammunition dealers, as well as reporting to the federal government all bulk ammunition purchases; Prohibition on the transfer, sale, or possession of ammunition clips beyond a certain size.

Hold them all up in committee. They’re unconstitutional and frankly, not serious. Period. End of story.
Just eight?
Did they trip over one another or run out of time?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

I guess this would also make Jamie Foxx and his buddy Tarantino unstable. Hmmmm.
Ping me.
They had to stop, -union rules ya know. :(
Now ya see, here's where Carolyn and I would part ways. If my husband had been shot to death, I'd have for SURE been jumping through hoops trying to make it easier for the good people to own guns.
I myself would learn how to shoot and I'd SURE teach my kids how.
She's too touchy feely. And just dumb. Is she related to the Mizzus Brady?
The next 2 yrs (at Least) are going to be very interesting.
We started by the R controlled House having to accept a ‘brokered bipartisan’ bill dreamt up by jobama, the Senate, requiring the pResident to shorten his vacation.
What with us (R’s) losing ground in the House and Senate, Bo with a comfortable win, they are going to come at us from all directions and try to bury us.
Never again will a party allow their control of the House and Senate (Clinton 92-94 and BO 04-06) go without passing everything in sight.
At least the D’s have the gonads to use stall tactics while the R’s appear to roll over and play dead, saying ‘Our turn is coming’ or ‘we can’t do that, they will use it against us in _____ years. All the D’s do is vote against something they don’t like, then turn around and get it reinstated prior an election that may not go their way.
Of course with the apathy the voting public has (and I am sorry, I am starting to show signs of apathy and say F’em etc) no telling what will be jammed down our throats and up our hind parts.
No. Just put up more gun free zone signs. Simple. Problem solved. Who in their right minds would defy a sign like that?
ROTFLOLOL.
What she is up to is immoral.
Maybe there should a ban on black people.

Dems are serious. They know gun control laws don’t work - they’ve seen Chicago and Washington DC. Dems are doing this because they hate traditional Americans.
Gun control is a dog whistle... it allows them to express their hatred without having to take responsibility for it.
LOL... I love that song.
