"To have someone who can look other members (of Congress) in the face and talk to them from a very personal experience, that can make all the difference....

Yeah, in disarming the rest of the law abiding populace so THEY might never have a "CHANCE" to save their OWN lives.

BEHOLD! The mind of the Defenseless

[longtermmemmory]

sounds like the socialists are not going to allow the second amendment rights of citizens to return without a fight. The article is a propaganda puff piece to make this fool a poster child for the ban. Since logic can't win the day, get people to feeeeeeel their way on the issue.

Brian, do you have a link for this? I would like to forward this article to the NRA media strike force.

Thanks,

All that energy; all that money; all that stupidity. If passengers aboard that train had been allowed to CCW, the shooting would have been very short and the gunman very dead in an instant. But no; this Liberal doofus insists that EVERYONE must remain as defenseless as her late husband.

psychosis [sy.KO.sis] (n).

“The inability to distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. Psychosis is a term used to describe a severe mental illness. Psychotics are characterized by a variety of symptoms that most people consider abnormal. These include experiencing delusions, such as the notion that one is being persecuted or conspired against. Psychotics may see things which don't actually exist and hear Voices (i.e. God) when no one is around. They often exhibit compulsive, irrational, ritualized behavior, esp. when such behavior serves no purpose or is even harmful or disruptive to those around them. They show no concern for others but may exhibit total self-centered behavior. Includes sociopathy, schizophrenia.”

If Carolyn McCarthy wanted to do something effective to prevent murders and other violence, she would push for legislation to inflict the death penalty on violent criminals.

If Colin Ferguson were dead, we would be absolutely sure that he would never kill anyone again, ever.

"It was probably the saddest movie that I have ever watched, mainly because when that movie was made, all of the issues are exactly what we're dealing with today," she said. "It was gun violence, the choice issue, the environment, education."

People like MS. McCarthy are not only dangerous, they are historically ignorant.

As an example let me cite two differant remodeling jobs I was involved in, one on Cape Cod in the eighties and the other in Maine a few years ago.

On both jobs we found old newspapers in the walls, the Cape papers from the mid-thirties and the Maine papers from the early twenties.

The front page stories could have been written today: Trouble in the Middle East, taxes and regulations increasing and race problems.

All the same issues that we're dealing with today.

Oh yeah. And the Red Sox lose.

McCarthy, a former nurse, fought fervently for gun control after her husband was killed aboard the commuter train on Dec. 7, 1993.

One civilian with a CHL, or better yet exercising "Vermont Carry", could and probably would have saved her husband.

McCarthy, a former nurse, fought fervently for gun control

Certainly we sympathize with her, but if memory serves correctly, the perp used a handgun , not an assault rifle. Plus, he was already forbidden from owning weapons since he had a history of mental problems.

Gun laws don't address the problem of gun violence. Never have.

"Nearly a decade after her husband was killed and her son badly wounded..."

Well...I DO feel bad for the victims...but in the case of hubby....isn't it remotely possible that with a wife like HIS...he wanted this outcome? Naaaaaaa, divorce would have been more sensible.

One Republican officeholder, who declined to give his name, said Garner, who is black, highlights the Republican party's effort to attract more minority voters

I am SHOCKED that Hempstead has a Republican Mayor, although he is probably in the Tom Gulotta/Ralph Marino mode.
