I really hope they keep this up right into the 2014 elections.
Heck, even criminals don’t want guns banned. It drives up prices of their street purchases.
The wench might be better occupied figuring out what to do after her sorry state goes bankrupt.
Although, watching blue states go down the Obamahole will be most satisfying.
Up yours, Schakowsky!

It is NOT “absurd” to accuse leftists of seeking a total ban on privately owned firearms, and don’t let anyone try to intimidate you with that accusation (of being “absurd”).
Now, given that, WHY do they want total citizen disarmament?
What do they plan to do when we’re defenseless?
Make them answer.
I really miss Don Wade on WLS in the mornings now.
He use to have SO much fun interviewing this dumb b**** and would just rip her up one side and down the other with logic, and she always kept coming back for more.
Nuttier than a squirrel turd!
These left wing loons are scattered all over the country and need to be attacked all day long! The damn media loves these a$$wipes!
Thanks for the lead on the fact that Schakowsky is married to a convicted felon.
I've known since the 1970s the leftist extremists won't be content until they've disarmed every last American citizen other than the police and military.
What's really needed are two Americas: a restored original constitutional republic, and whatever kind of socialist hell hole the leftist extremists want to turn the rest into. Not all marriages can be saved, and the same applies to countries.
As one of the authors along with her husband of the AHCA (Obamacare) she is exempted from being in it. Joel Pollack of Britebart fame ran against her in 2010.
Please keep this up, Jan. Here.. have some more rope.
Id love a ban on stupid people..can we please ban stupid people..but if we do where would we send all the Obama lovers to..maybe Venezuela..or Iran, but I guess even they have their standards
It has always been about handguns. Assault rifles are just a decoy to try and get their anti-gun foot in the door.
Once they get a ban on AWs then they will use the same reasons to go after handguns.
John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.
Charles Whitman, killed 14, wounded 32 others mostly with a bolt action 6mm hunting rifle. Also used a shotgun and an m1 carbine.

George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl revolver.
Howard Johnsons shooter killed nine, wounded thirteen with a 4 shot RUGER .44 mag Deerslayer rifle.
Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.
Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.
Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 revolver.
What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban all of them.
