In the wake of the deadly Connecticut school shooting, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy said she has warned the White House “the gloves are off” if President Obama fails to act on the issue.
McCarthy (D-N.Y.), the foremost gun control advocate in Congress, said she spoke with White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew before Election Day and told him she will exert pressure on the White House to push for gun control legislation.
“I said, ‘Jack, I know the president is going through an election and I’m telling you after the election I’m coming out full force,’” McCarthy told POLITICO Friday. “I was just giving the White House a heads up that the gloves are off on my side and I was going to do everything I possibly could. … If that meant embarrassing everybody, that’s what I would do.”
Embarrassing the White House, McCarthy said, meant building a large-scale pu

Let them push gun control...Dumbocrats lose every time they do.
She is a lib. That usually means guns, SUV’s, etc. for me, but not for you.
You cannot embarrass the totally ignorant.
I agree the gloves should come off and so get rid of the GUN FREE school zones... Our country’s greatest tragedies occur in these UNSAFE designated areas, time to look at the facts and stop the unintended consequences of multiple deaths occurring in GUN FREE ZINES.
Exactly.
We have armed guards in banks and passenger jets. Why not schools?
If some punk saw a signed that read...
“ARMED PLAINCLOTHES OFFICERS ON DUTY”
...in front of a schoolhouse, they might think twice about shooting.
Friggin’ gun control laws are for liberals to feel good about themselves. They don’t work.
It does seem that these mass shootings of late have been instigated by those that leaned left (admittedly they leaned crazy ... but they also exhibited affection for leftist positions).
Laughner (sp?) went after Gifford because she wasn't leftist enough for her taste.
I believe the Colorado shooter had OWS ties.
I suspect we will find similar affiliations with the Oregon and Connecticut murderers.
My conclusion is that it is dangerous when liberals have weapons. Anyone who has voted for a Dem should be disarmed. Obviously their voting history is a sign of mental instability.
Didn’t take the ghoul long. Must be the smell of blood,
When I wuz a kid our class size was ~30 kids/class. I learned just fine (especially after I learned to read so I could sit in the back and be reading a book held out of sight under the desk when things got boring).
Homeschooling every kid makes more sense than banning guns though.
I like the saying, “When it’s time to bury them, It will be time to dig them up”

'Rats are WAY too emotional to be allowed to carry or own.
This one is a ruse. They’re doing this to draw all attention away from Obama himself and the ATF. Never lose sight of the main problem, which is Obama. Just think of what happened in Lord of the Rings, when men marched on Mordor to draw attention away from Frodo.
Full business boycott of anything produced in McCarthy’s district.
Yep, my thinking too.
Unfortunately we'll never see that aspect brought up in the emotional debate we're about to see.
No way, fight these tragic-happy, commie bastards!
First, there are already more than 20,000 gun control laws actively on the books today and none of them prevented this tragedy. Second, millions upon million of people in America own guns and 99.9999% of them have never and will never do anything like this.
So, let's lose the hysteria and analyze the facts - a PERSON did this, NOT a hunk of steel. In Portland, a PERSON killed two people in the mall, NOT a hunk of steel! In Denver, a PERSON shot up the theater, NOT a hunk of steel!!
NONE of these facts will matter to the gun-grabbing nanny-staters, because they focus solely on the gun and nothing else. So, what happens if ALL guns are outlawed and forcibly collected by the feds? Someone bent on committing mass murder may turn to knives, hatchets, chainsaws or machetes. So, we outlaw those. The next person to commit a heinous crime may use a bat, poison, poison gas or a semi-tractor. And the one after that may use a car, a pen or pencil, a rock, his hands . . . . . . so when do we blame the PERSON and NOT the inanimate weapon!???
The fact remains that until the left understands that murdering humans by ANY means including their favorite method, abortion, human life will be valueless and more copycats will come out to exercise their demented mass murder of innocent people.
A black man who hated whites killed her husband.
The gun had nothing to do with it-—it was skin color.
