WASHINGTON -- A longtime Senate gun control advocate announced plans Monday to introduce legislation banning high-capacity ammunition clips like the one linked to a weekend shooting that left six dead and an Arizona congresswoman gravely wounded.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said he would introduce the measure to re-establish a prohibition that lapsed in 2004 on clips that feed more than 10 rounds at a time.
"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 written statement announcing his plans. He said he would file the bill when the Senate returns to session later this month...

9/11 Truther and Bush-hater...seems the shooter shared opinions with Dims in the nutty factor—
Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance. Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure. Republicans reject that view and, by a 7-to-1 margin, say the President did not know in advance about the attacks.
Page three of article from NY Times:
“He became intrigued by antigovernment conspiracy theories, including that the Sept. 11 attacks were perpetrated by the government and that the countrys central banking system was enslaving its citizens. His anger would well up at the sight of President George W. Bush, or in discussing what he considered to be the nefarious designs of government.”
better ban Jesse Ventura’s cable show ,too...
“Shall NOT be infringed!”
If you republicans pass one anti gun law or even allow one to come to the floor... I will go third party forever. After 38 years of loyalty to the republican party... I will be one person that will help to drive a stake through the party’s heart.
LLS
“Clips”? LOL.
If The Lout could find a “clip” that holds 33 rounds of ammunition, I would join him in a movement to ban it. Any such “clip” would almost certainly be disfunctional and unsafe.
I'm no gunsmith but I would argue that it's the slide or the bolt that is the device that actually feeds the ammunition.
But then what do I know?
Frank Lautenberg....proudly serving the Communist cause since 1924.
The law is an ass........
And the lawmakers are W%#&^$!!
That means that 12.5% of Republicans think he did know or might have known. Foreknowledge of the event and not stopping it would make him (or anyone) complicit. Incredible!
**Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., said he would introduce the measure to re-establish a prohibition that lapsed in 2004 on clips that feed more than 10 rounds at a time.***
And Pat Sherrell used two National Guard issued .45 cal handguns with 7 round magazines when he killed 14 people at the post office in Edmond, OK back in 1986.
This idiot thinks that all casulties happen with the last bullets in a 30 round magazine.
So?
That is exactly what is needed when facing two or more armed attackers.
It is impossible to cure stupid in some voters.
No, their audience dont know the difference between a clip and a magazine.
That is nothing!!
