Sounds like Lautenberg and McCarthy are pandering to their lib voters, even Dingy Harry is against this.

LOL, I pray it turns out just the way that they fear, especially in light of increased gun sales in so many places.

And when that doesn't work??????? Please, tell me, smarter than thou, how will you stop people from getting ammo and weapons if they REALLY want to get them. Please, tell me.

You only need to look at Mexico to know that you can NEVER stop those that want weapons and ammo. They WILL get them and they WILL use them, no matter how many laws you create.

Effing idiots, the whole friggin lot of them.

They can shove it up their collective smelly Obamas.

I almost wish they would go ahead and try (that’s try) to ban weapons, ammo, etc.

I’ll not speak of the consequences.

I haven’t heard how many rounds exactly that he did shoot, but at some point he would have reached a maximum utility after which it wouldn’t mater whether he had 6000, or 200, or 600,000 rounds of ammunition. Apparently, he only needed 60 to create the carnage that he did, so any law regarding the possession of ammunition would have to set a really low level to be considered efeective. The goal would have to be one round per person to prevent killing more than one other person. It should also be noted that the shooter would not be constrained by legal limits on ammunition possession because he was a criminal, and criminals are, by definition, not bound by laws.

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.) and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (N.Y.) said the new law would make the sale of ammunition “safer for criminals and politicians who are sick and tired of the ease with which law-abiding citizens can now anonymously stockpile for protection against mass murder,” in a statement released Saturday.

There’s plenty to worry about, but at the VERY BOTTOM of that list is the idea that the Dems can pass gun control legislatively.

LET THEM TRY - it only knocks out another 5 of them in the house, every time one of them opens their mouth.

Implying that buying ammo this way you're not a law abiding citizen and by inference that any gun owner is a nut and will be a mass killers/shooter.

Holmes may have bought 6,000 rounds, but only took a few hudred to do his deed. None of the past massacres involved thousands of rounds.

The Republicans need to brand the entire Dem party with this. Hang it around their necks at election time.

Frank the fossil- No sportsman needs 100 rounds to shoot a duck, but allowing high-capacity magazines in the hands of killers like James Holmes and Jared Loughner ...”

Good thing that the nut chose the hundred 100 rd 'beta mag' that is prone to jam instead of regular 20 or 30 rd magazines or the carnage would have been much worse.

You mean like .... ZERO ?

Which doesn't matter because everyone on FR lost their guns while out deer hunting in their bass boats. A gator jumped into my boat, turning it on it's side. All my 'guns' sunk to the bottom.

I was able to swim to shore, pulling the boat behind me by it's anchor line. I saved the boat but I ain't gonna go swimming after the guns.
