Now is not the time to talk about gun laws...

[Bfgrn]

“Leaders in Washington from both parties, and groups like the NRA, all say that now is not the time to talk about how gun safety laws can save lives in America.

I agree, now is not the time to talk about gun laws – the time for that conversation was long before all those kids in Connecticut died today.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy - Statement from Rep. Carolyn McCarthy on Connecticut School Shooting






Carolyn McCarthy (born January 5, 1944) is the U.S. Representative for New York's 4th congressional district, serving since 1997. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

McCarthy was born Carolyn Cook in Brooklyn, raised in Mineola. Her father was a boilermaker and her mother worked at Woolworth. In her youth, she was an athlete and wanted to become a physical education teacher but found reading challenging and later was diagnosed with dyslexia. After caring for a boyfriend who was injured in a car accident, McCarthy decided to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Later she married and lived with her family in Mineola, a suburban area about twenty miles outside New York City on Long Island. On December 7, 1993, her husband, Dennis, was killed and her son, Kevin, severely injured on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train at the Merillon Avenue station, when spree killer, Colin Ferguson, opened fire on passengers. Ferguson killed six and wounded 19 others. McCarthy responded to the crime by launching a campaign for more stringent gun control that eventually propelled her to Congress in 1996 on the Democratic ticket.

McCarthy was a registered Republican before her first run for Congress. She has "evolved over the years into a reliable Democratic vote.

I don't understand her point, or yours. I am quite sure gun control has been frequently discussed before and after this and other such events.

Thanks for your usual Frank...adding nothing, but bumping my thread...

Jesse Jackson kept wearing the shirt with Martin Luther Kings blood on it days after the assassination, I wonder how long Dems will wear their shirts?

The most stringent gun control laws in the world could not have prevented this tragedy, but the liberals will certainly use this to try and restrict the law abiding citizen's 2nd Amendment rights like they usually do when such tragedies occur. We've already heard from the WH that the Assualt Weapon ban, which banned firearms that are NOT Assault Weapons by anyone but a liberal democrat's defintion, is something the President supports and wants back. Typical of the left, they see the death of 18 babies as a political opportunity to further their agenda.

This is what we get when you put these people who are "activist" in our government.

Don't think the Democrats are going to let this go folks..They have a activist in as President so they see their opportunity

Connecticut has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country.

You should be so proud Steph. Powerful groups fully support your beliefs; the NRA, Republicans, conservatives and of course, the ultra-conservatives...Al Qaeda:

"America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle without a background check and, most likely, without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"

Azzam al-Amriki, aka Adam Gadahn, urges "lone wolf" terrorists to exploit weaknesses in gun laws, saying these gaps present a "golden opportunity" to do "major damage to the enemies of Islam, waging war on their religion, sacred places, and things, and brethren"

Yeah well, you bleeding hearts would leave us defenseless against people like Al Qaeda and we saw how well OUR GUBERMENT protects us from them...so your all's hardon for the Nra is just as stupid as it is for a Radio Host or a News station..but don't let that stop you from your nonsense

It is so heartwarming to see that you and Azzam al-Amriki agree. Who said conservatives can't be cooperative?

And, as the old truth-isms say: Robins and Blue Jays don't nest together. a.k.a. Birds of a feather flock together.

Yeah... It's easier to take a shit on our Freedoms when a vast majority are emotionally compromised by a horrible event. Despicable... The asshole who did the shootings, and the assholes who use the event to push their tyrannical agenda.

We are LIVING in your agenda you right wing assholes. This is the NRA's vision of America, not liberals. This blood is on your hands. Every other industrialized nation has stricter gun laws than America. We have MORE gun related deaths in 2 DAYS then England has in one YEAR.

Its like jumbo jet going down EVERY FUCKING WEEK you morons.
