Ahhhh, just a minute Rep. MaCarthy.
Please state the part of the Constitution that your bill is based upon.
Regarding Obama, guns, and all standard-capacity magazines:
He’s coming to take them away, Ha-ha!
He’s coming to take them away!
THAT is what Obama meant by the wildly-cheered code words in his Tucson speech: “We should be willing to challenge old assumptions in order to lessen the prospects of violence in the future.” aka Gun BANS!
I wish Americans could ban low mental capacity politicians like McCarthy.
Took longer than I expected.
Her husband was murdered during that Long Island massacre by Colin Ferguson.
Only six were murdered.
Perhaps if only criminals had access to guns, next time, more folks can be murdered and she won't be so alone in her grief.
Stop thinking of yourselves.
If the Leftist Nutcase who murdered these people used his Dad’s Pickup Truck and ran them over instead of shooting them, would owning an F-150 become a Federal Crime?
Anybody driving a two ton vehicle could cause just as much havoc if the thought entered their mind. You can make a bomb out of a Barbecue Propane Tank if you have the desire.
I like Rush’s take on this. Just make it illegal for Democrats to own firearms. Problem solved...

34 rounds on target in 16 seconds. No high cap mags needed.
Colin Ferguson, the man who shot Congresswoman McCarthy's husband, had more in common with Jared Loughner than their use of "Hi-Cap" magazines.
Both are paranoid schizophrenics with long histories of police encounters.
Ferguson believed that the government was attempting to implant devices in his brain.
I just sent an email with the Congresswoman asking if she would also spend any time advocating to keep violent deranged individuals off our streets.
Somehow I don't expect she will.
Seen this yet?
I am beginning to think ALL New Englanders are inverterate cowards. What tragic reverse evolution has taken place since the Revolutionary war!
Rahm Emmanuel said to never let a good tragedy go to waste. That’s the kind of philosophy that should concern all of us about government.
It is outrageous that these politicians will take such an event and use it to advance their political goals or agenda. One is better off being cynical versus naive in our society.
If Castle from Delaware and Mark Kirk from Illinois' 10th Congressional District north of Chicago were still in the House, they probably would have jumped on it. Castle is now history, good riddance, and Kirk has to worry about votes from the whole state of Illinois.
HIgh capacity “clips”? Bad news for owners of M1 Garands and broomhandle Mausers.
McCarthyism!!!
Ironically, if magazines holding over 10 rounds had been banned, Loughner might well have chosen a heavier caliber, such as a .45 ACP or a .44 Magnum revolver, since the ability to get high-capacity magazines is a major selling point for semiautomatic pistols in 9 mm Parabellum. And in that case, Gabby Giffords, who’s making a nice recovery, would be either dead or horribly disabled.
I’ll respond to Congresscritter McCarthy in true, sensitive, deeply meaningful and respectful NFHale Civil Discouse 101 fashion (with an honorable nod to my buddy Gilbo_3 for verbiage):
“Bite me, ya ignorant commie B*tch. Molon labe.”
Was that mean? Was that harsh? Was that wrong? Do I care?
In other words...did I elevate the debate to new heights of civility??? THAT is the question one must ask oneself at all times...
Never forget: the American Revolution began when the British tried to take the Colonists’ guns.
