Congressman drafting legislation to make owning a hand gun illegal.

Cleveland) - Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich wants to ban hand guns in America.

Kucinich is currently drafting legislation that would ban the purchase, sale, transfer or possession of hand guns by civilians. A gun buy-back provision will be included in the bill.

Kucinich announced this move in the aftermath of Monday’s deadly shooting at Virginia Tech.

Kucinich noted in a speech to congress that about 32 people die each day in America due to hand gun related incidents. 33 died at VT.

Kucinich says it's becoming "painfully obvious" that the easy availability of handguns constituents a growing national crisis of public health and safety, one that he says calls for a powerful, wide-ranging response from congress.

He says the level of violence in our society constitutes a national emergency.

Already this Congress, Kucinich has introduced HR 808, legislation to establish a Department of Peace and Nonviolence. It would address the issue of domestic violence, gang violence, and violence in the schools, which is reflected in the current homicide rates.

Kucinich notes recent studies that indicate many killers had histories of mental illness. He says the lack of parity for mental health care remains one of the most serious deficiencies in healthcare in the United States.

Kucinich has also proposed HR 676, Medicare for all. It would establish a universal not-for-profit healthcare system, which would provide full and comprehensive mental healthcare.

Gives him something to do, I guess.

[2banana]

The dems are going to get hammered in 2008...

[NY Attitude]

Hey Dennis Kucinich, Eat Sh*t and Die!

[kromike]

Dear Dennis,

Come and get it (with a veiled reference to "300").

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Moron obviously never read his Constitution.

[elpinta]

Looked for the “/s” tag but is not there!

[RexBeach]

Gee, what a surpris

Well, this makes it official. If this law is enacted(which it won’t be), only criminals and nutjobs will have firearms. Great idea.

What’s he want to ban next? Swimming pools and bicycles?

[TNCMAXQ]

Great idea. Then when the number of murders with guns increases dramatically, the lefties will wring their hands as always and ask “how is this happening?!”

[Kenton]

If Dennis Kucinich tries to grandstand and nobody pays attention, does he still make a noise?

[jla]

Gives him something to do, I guess.

Absolutely. Just lean over, pat him on the head and wish him well in his endeavor.

[MD_Willington_1976]

well well well

I’d like to see

“I am drafting a bill to limit the terms of members of Congress to two, five year terms, thereafter a former member of Congress will no longer be allowed to serve in any position in the House of Congress nor as a consultant to any new member in Congress”

[shekkian]

Kucinich noted in a speech to congress that about 32 people die each day in America due to hand gun related incidents.

The majority of those are in "Gun Free Zones".

Kucinich Seeks To Ban Hand Guns In America

In other words, Kucinich seeks to get out of the race.

[4yearlurker]

Whats painfully obvious is that Kookoonich is a dick head.

[elpinta]

On related news, it has been reported that in 100% or car accidents, at least one motor vehicle was involved: we must ban them too!

[unkus]

Hey Kucinich-eat diahhrea and enjoy it. Keep spouting this anti-American stuff and help your party go down in 2008.

[pissant]

This little weasel needs to be hanged for treason.

[jazusamo]

I wonder if he’ll do this before or after impeaching VP Cheney. What a DORK!

[from occupied ga]

If Dennis Kucinich tries to grandstand and nobody pays attention, does he still make a noise?

There are 7,000,000 New Yorkers and 2,000,000 Massholes who think this is a great idea.

[Captain Rhino]

Kucinich has also proposed HR 676, Medicare for all. It would establish a universal not-for-profit healthcare system, which would provide full and comprehensive mental healthcare.

Sounds like he should be its first customer.

[DBrow]

Thank you Dennis, for giving us a means to find out who’s who in the House.

[Smokin' Joe]

Kucinich says it's becoming "painfully obvious" that the easy availability of handguns constituents a growing national crisis of public health and safety, one that he says calls for a powerful, wide-ranging response from congress.

Dumb arse! It was the unavailability of handguns which kept the shooter from being stopped! If more had been in other hands this might have been shut down early.

How do these nitwits get elected anyway? Are Americans that dumb?

[boxerblues]

Dennis....the gift that keeps on giving

[twonie]

What’s painfully obvious is Kucinich. He’s like a puppet monkey on a stick - he runs out, does his little piece and then thankfully disappears.

[Charlespg]

Kucinich is a idiot

somebody should tell these gun grabbing a****** to ban asprin or wheat flour as well

[USMCWife6869]

Pay no attention to that pesky Consitution. That thing is only for Liberals, anyway.

[lilylangtree]

What an idiot! Congress is full of these dancing fools.

[Tijeras_Slim]

He has to get on a soapbox atleast once a day to feel more than 4’ tall.

[Big Mack]

Would someone pleeeeeeeeease,take away this little knob's crayons!

[Sunshine Sister]

Thank you! You took the words right out of my mouth!

[ApplegateRanch]

Need to scratch CousinItch from the slate of candidates for anything, let alone President.

Duct taping his mouth shut would also be a step forward for Ohio.

[RightWhale]

32 people die each day in America due to hand gun related incidents

In large part suicides. Those would find other means.

[capydick]

Whats painfully obvious is that Kookoonich is a dick head.

Yea - but - the RNC needs to publicly wrap this kook around the neck of Reid and Pelosi as an example of what a typical Democrat in power believes in.

[Senator_Blutarski]

I believe Kucinich is from the planet Lovetron, which is also home to basketball player Darryl Dawkins.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Would make more sense to outlaw murder.

[IrishCatholic]

Of course he read the Constitution. He is a committed Socialist. The implementation of socialism cannot happen in an armed society. Therefore the left has always advocated gun control.
Do not mistake evil intent with stupidity.

[raj bhatia]

“A gun buy-back provision will be included in the bill. “

Yeah, the overriding concern of all gun owners is to get their money back. Now everyone can rest easy.

This guy should be officially declared irrelevant by the President.

[boxerblues]

He has to get on a soapbox atleast once a day to feel more than 4’ tall.

Yep, yesterdays soapbox was to have Cheney impeached

Articles of Impeachment To Be Filed On Cheney

[spokeshave]

32 a day eh...that's 11,680 a year....

The MSM was touting 30,000 gun related deaths a year....

So who is lying....?

Quick answer....All of the above.

[NoBullZone]

What I can’t get over is none of these people study where this was tried - England. And the crime rate skyrocketed once criminals with guns knew they had nothing to fear.

[word_warrior_bob]

Why doesn’t he just propose Communism, then he wouldn’t have to write so many bills.

All of his little bills will just be implied and understood as part of Communism, plus he would save the taxpayer a lot of paperwork.

[goodnesswins]

Keep talking, crazy Kucinich....keep talking.

[jslade]

How do these nitwits get elected anyway? Are Americans that dumb??

They are in his Ohio district!

[Dilbert San Diego]

Dennis the Menace thinks banning guns and having a Department of Peace will solve all our problems.

Hope he keeps talking but stays on the lunatic fringe. Maybe Hillary will ask him to be her running mate.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

In large part suicides.

not to mention the drug deal gone bad..

[CougarGA7]

Dear Dennis,

I am trying to remember which group you were with before you went solo. Was it SNL? SCTV? Or was it Kids in the Hall.

At any rate your comedy is hilarious. Your ability to take current political issues and take a completely counter intuitive approach to it is edgy and very funny.

The department of Peace and Nonviolence almost had me wetting my pants I was laughing so hard.

Keep up the good work.

[Marine Inspector]

Will he ban cars and trucks and offer an exchange for bikes too?

[geo40xyz]

This democRAT-Ohio congressperson is consumed with stupidity
