Lautenberg to reintroduce gun-ban bill By Daniel Strauss - 01/10/11 05:52 PM ET
One of the Senate's most outspoken advocates of tighter gun restrictions said he plans to introduce language banning the type of supplemented gun clips that the shooter in Arizona used on Saturday.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) promised to bring back legislation that had expired in 2004 that would prohibit the use of magazines of 10 rounds or more, according to The Associated Press.
"The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly. These high-capacity clips simply should not be on the market," Lautenberg said in a statement.
Lautenberg plans to file the bill later this month, after Congress reconvenes.
Law enforcement officials say that the suspect used a gun with a clip that held 33 rounds, according to the AP.
Similarly, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) announced plans for a bill that would increase gun restrictions.
Dang, I hate those 33 rounders. But now I have to go buy a skid of them.
Care to make any other asinine statements?
Anyone who hasnt already gotten what they want or need by now is really crazy. We all know the rats have been waiting for something like this for years to push their agenda on guns.
Lautenburg doesn’t reintroduce, he regurgitates.
It’s not a stiff spine that makes him walk funny, it that hand up his backside making his mouth move...
Me too. I actually have two 30 round mags for my own Glock 17 and they don’t even ask me to kill anyone. Mine are defective too (just in case it takes two to do the mind control thing).
>>SFW...
What is “SFW”??
Just completed my annual Department of Defense Form 2760 - QUALIFICATION TO POSSESS FIREARMS OR AMMUNITION, so I could stay in the service one more year.
A POX on Lautenberg.
No, he was grabbed by a woman with courage. She could have easily been knifed, didn't know if he had a second gun, if there was a second shooter, etc.
So friggin’ what... Approximately.
10 rounds? T-e-n rounds????
In the other 49 states, outside of kaliforni-whatever, there is no such thing as a ten round magazine!
I do not think that Lautenburg, nor McCarthy, have seen the size of the released penitents in the last few years, with their federal or state-paid ‘Gold’s Gym’ physique!
The 2nd Amendment says: “shall not”! What part of that, don’t they understand?
They never let a good crisis go to waste do they?
I find it very telling that none of these libs have gone after drunk illegals killing people with cars that they do not legally have a license to drive. In WI alone we have had a number of illegals causing deaths driving while intoxicated, never mind that they never had legal DLs. Just on New Years day another one. A beautiful young woman killed, leaving a young girl without her mom. The perp had been in this country illegally for 12 years and killed the woman in a head on crash going the wrong way on the freeway. But I guess getting hyped up about that would not be politically expedient for these liberal douche bags. They probably started salivating moments after news of the shooting over the prospect of blaming Palin, the Tea Party, Rush or whoever else their warped reasoning could target.
The woman with courage had already been wounded and apparently desperately grabbed the next clip he was trying to put into the gun. I doubt if she was worried about a knife, a second gun or shooter, she just didn’t want him to reload and shoot her some more. Having been a crime victim myself, the first thing you worry about is surviving and in her case it was not letting him use any more bullets.
Funny how they've simultaneously disbelieved that same idea for the last 50 years, when applied to pornography.
If you ever find yourself up to your ass in bad guys trying to jack your car by the expedient of blowing you away and dumping your body by the side of the road (happened several times in my home town in the last 10 years), you might think 6 rounds a little thin ..... if all you brought with you is the single magazine in your piece, or your reloads are in the glove box a long arm-reach away.
Target shooting and combat -- a real gunfight -- are two good reasons for wanting a 14-round magazine when the old Clinton-era limit was 10, or for wanting a 33-round magazine when someone else thinks 10 or 14 should "do".
I have a couple of small autopistols that ordinarily take 7-round magazines (the original versions of these guns had 5-round magazines, which I ultimately rejected, partly because of capacity and partly because those "purse guns" didn't really fit my hand comfortably, the butts being too short), but I also bought a 10-round "extended" magazine as well -- because it was available. More is better, all other things being equal.
A news story I saw elsewhere on FR had a quote that it was a 9mm Glock 19.
Careful there Laz, that statement could be construed as a “threatening hateful attack” on Senator Tutankhamun. ;p
The only thing less alive than Frank the mummy is the issue of gun control. It’s dead Jim.
Love your tag line BTW.
Actually, they did. As someone else put it in an online article, the blood wasn't dry yet when they started in.
The Left's response was approximately instantaneous. Their rush to judgment took about 0.0 seconds.
