Congressman Will Introduce Strict Gun-Control Legislation

Peter King's Law: Ban Guns Within 1000 Feet of Federal Officials

Posted Tuesday, January 11, 2011 11:37 AM

Congressman Peter King today also announced that he will introduce legislation that will make it illegal to knowingly carry a gun within 1,000 feet of the President, Vice President, Members of Congress or judges of the Federal Judiciary. In the United States, it is illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a school. Passing a similar law for government officials would give federal, state, and local law enforcement a better chance to intercept would-be shooters before they pull the trigger.

It's a start.

Requiring special licenses for carrying firearms would be another.

we should make murder illegal.

Would a guy who sought to shoot 20-30 people respect laws about staying 1000' from a Federal official? Will a perimeter be enforced no matter where those officials go or what they do?

 

[Revere]

Would Joe Manchin be breaking that law if he "shot" cap and trade?

 

[JakeStarkey]

King is a conservative Republican with a reactionary activist agenda. Yet here he is introducing gun control legislaton. Hmmm.

 

[slackjawed]

Gun control advocates will use any reason to advance their agenda.

If the socialist, new world order, peacenic, liberal, anti second amendment, America haters can't take our guns away in one fell swoop, they're more than happy to do it in small steps, with bull shit laws like this.

 

[JakeStarkey]

So Pete King is a "socialist"? Am I understanding you correctly.

 

[FreedomEagle]

What the hell will this do? God damn it, this is AMERICA! Why are we wasting resources and money on legislation like this?

Being introduced by a Republican...

That's a great idea!

 

[Lonestar_logic]

There is no constitutional grounds for such a law. It will be struck down as King is being laughed at.

It is ironic this Congressman is introducing a strict gun control law designed to protect HIS ass, not yours or mine. Anyone with a firearm that can't measure 1000 feet by eyesight alone is toast.

If we are going to craft gun control legislation, lets improve the screening process so we are able to identify and deny mentally ill killers like Jared Lee Loughner, who used a legal weapon. The only way they could have caught him under the current procedure is if Jared Lee Loughner answered YES to being mentally ill...

You mean, the same people mocking a potential criminal insanity defense now that he has shot several people would willingly declare him insane before he even buys a gun?

What I'm saying is the current procedure needs to be examined.

 

[California Girl]

How come Federal Officials only? Maybe we need a law to stop anyone carrying a gun within 1,000 ft of anyone else.


*Sarcasm off*

 

[California Girl]

Ohhhh, or we could make it illegal to shoot another person?

Well..King is probably interested in the "Save your own ass"isms.


He's a jerk..overall.
