In the picture accompanying "N.J. senators seek a ban on powerful assault pistol" (3-4), I was disappointed to observe Senator Frank Lautenberg ignoring one of the fundamental rules of gun safety.
While displaying the Five Seven pistol he is seeking to ban, Sen. Lautenberg's index finger is clearly on the trigger. Anyone who has taken a basic pistol safety course can affirm that one of the first rules taught to students is never to touch the trigger until you are ready to fire the weapon.
Gun control remains a volatile issue in this country, but advocates on both sides of the issue should agree that safety when handling a firearm is critical.
ping
so a guy who wants to ban guns is ignorant. what else is new?
Heck, should have laid into him for not having a trigger lock on it!

This it?

It's only fitting that an unconstitutional law would be promoted by a guy who got into office illegally.
Thank for finding the pic, gys. Is there a site where you can search for news pictures? I tried google news, but I did not see a feature to look for pictures.
Yahoo! has a searchable news photos section.
This is so stupid. Not only are the gungrabbers weens, but they are ignorant weens!
1. The 5.7 round has ballistics similar to .22 WRFM (the Winchester rimfire magnum, or .22 magnum). That is to say, a small slug going about 2k FPS.
2. Penetration of class III body armor (if it indeed does) is accomplished with a very specialized projectile. Hard and pointy pointy.
3. That hard and pointy ammo IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE MILITARY AND THE POLICE, NOT NOT NOT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC!!!!!
STOOOOPID congresscritters!
At least he has it pointed closer to his own head than anyone else's!

Sen. Frank Lautenberg (news, bio, voting record), D-N.J, second from right, accompanied by Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), D-N.Y, left, Rep. Eliot Engel (news, bio, voting record), D-NY, and Sen. Jon Corzine (news, bio, voting record), D-N.J. holds the Five-SeveN pistol during a news conference about introducing legislation to ban the deadly 'cop killer' handgun on Thursday, March 3, 2005, in Washington. The pistol, made by FN Herstal, fires a special high-velocity and pointed bullet that can pass through the front and back Kevlar panels of a bullet proof vest. (AP Photo/Kevin Wolf) |

Keeping my fingers crossed.
They let him have a GUN? Jeez, when my grandpa was that old, we wouldn't let him have a FORK!
(Just kidding.)
I wonder how many hours chuckie spent in front of a mirror to get that look ???
PS, meant also to say it reminds me of my son in diapers, 'I think i just made poopooo'...
Oh no... POINTED BULLETS ...
Looks like a "circle of jerks" to me. OK, a line; Schumer and Corzine will have to take care of themselves...
Seriesly, these retards giving firearms advice would be like going to taco bell to get info on space flight...
LOL! Thanks ManHunter.

Brings to mind the time when DiFi, finger on trigger, pointed an AK-47 at an audience and swept it across the room.
Pic 2 - He looks a little too happy with that rainbow flag.
It's a mystery to me how the otherwise intelligent populace of Calipooia could elect such a dud to be their U.S. senator.
Gun Grabbing state senator Gilda Jacobs (D) did the same thing. She also said that the state police would NEVER give her a loaded gun so there was no need to worry(when some ducked and covered).



They should be working on immigrant laws.
When these kids immigrate illegally to
America the Five-Seven pistol isn't
going to be their weapon of choice.
Those 4 men look out out touch
with weapons.
is schumer gay?

Oh, if only some guard would screech "GUN!!" and physically wrestle Lautenberg to the ground and cuff him for publicly brandishing that weapon in an unsafe manner. ROFL
My old CZ52 will do more damage to kevlar clad critters than that Fn7 POS (yes I have a Fn7).....Polidiots are........phucm !
He looks happy in this picture.
I am worried about the people on the second floor over that press room!
Ouch, someone could lose a foot!
The 7.62 x 25 is an amazing little round. I've seen it punch through cast iron skillets, shovels, and car wheels.
One steppin' round!

What would the MSM report if President Bush publicly brandishing a weapon during a news conference at the White House?
Why does Inspector Frank Drebin (Leslie Neilsen) of the Naked Gun movies come to mind?
Schumer may not be a homosexual but he sure is gay!
Yeah, nice eye protection indeed. Idiot!
Back at ya........Stay safe !
Especially those saboted handloads. Put an SS109 bullet in there, and I think they step out of a CZ52 at near 2000 FPS.
lol, good letter.
These "guys"(if you can call them that) utterly disgust me.
How many others wanted to buy one or more of these puny varmint hunting pistols only after they heard of the effort to ban them?
Love that graphic....make me a T-shirt with it!!
In that upper picture, Schumer looks like he's actually enjoying himself. I guess he figured out that throwing a few rounds downrange really is a lot of fun; he just doesn't want the rest of us to enjoy it.
It is so sad and frustrating that virtually all anti-gun legislation is promoted and sponsored by individuals who blatantly display their ignorance of firearms! Whachagonnado?
Such rules and laws only apply to "pro-gun-rights" folks. The anti-gunners can willfully violate any and all laws, rules, and regulations when they are staging their anti-gun stunts--things that would get thee and me as gun-owners arrested in a microsecond.
Pic 1 - Why is it that the first word that pops into my mind when I see a picture of (Up)Chuck Schumer is "putz?"

BTTT
If you can really shoot, just shoot 'em in the head..doesn't matter what kind of "underwear" they have on.
Schumer looks like he's got his finger somewhere. Only his proctologist knows for sure.
