Someone should put that on a T-shirt!... 22935@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 07 Nov 2007 18:22:10 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#22934 I wonder how much the moonbats will increase the federal income tax to fund the unwarranted Gestapo-style door-to-door searches in order to confiscate the innumerable amount of (currently) legally owned "high capacity" mags out there? Hmmm, the mind boggles. Orwellian gun control and monumental tax increases in one shot? Surely this is any Democrats dream come true!... 22934@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 07 Nov 2007 18:09:48 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#15202 This is NOT just a mag bill. It also provides "assault rifle" definition and a 10 year felony for transfer of an "assault rifle" with high cap mag. I hope they pass it. Best chance for Thompson for prez 08. Someone should do a survey on firearms, mags, and ammo dealers as to how much business has increased since her bills introduction.... 15202@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 01 May 2007 09:02:03 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#15189 Trying to get another ban on magazines (for all the liberals and misinformed gun-grabbers they are not clips)is a another patellar reflex to a problem that doesn't exist. When are you people giong to get it straight? If you limit the capacity to 10 rounds, there will be no difference between the guy who goes into a target rich environment (gun-free zone) with six 10 round magazines, as opposed to four 15 round magazines. This is worthless legislation and it will do absolutely nothing to stop madmen from killing innocent people where guns are not allowed to be carried by law abiding citizens. If anyone needs psychiatric help it is the gun grabbers and the liberals.... 15189@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:29:25 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#15115 gun control and bans only affect law abiding citizens... 15115@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 27 Apr 2007 00:11:42 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14996 I dont get it. How would this new law have prevented the VTECH killings? From what I have seen and read after the first shot everyone was scrambling for cover. That whack job could have stood there with a single shot .22 rifle and still killed as many people! After he shot the first person I doubt anyone was ready to confront him regardless of the type of gun or how many bullets were in it. Who the heck is going to sit around and watch for him to re-load so they can attack him? Like the old west where the good guy counts off 6 shots then rushes the bad guy. RIGHT...LIKE THAT WOULD HAPPEN. There seems to be one common denominator in all of these tragic events. Unarmed victims.... 14996@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 23 Apr 2007 09:11:22 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14965 The biggest effect this could have is to give a few gun dealers more money because the crazy shooters will have to buy more magazines. The effect on any other aspect of the world? Not even the slightest bit.... 14965@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:25:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14959 I applaud McCarthy for pushing this bill. She'll do more for our gun rights than any argument we can present by exposing the abject stupidity of the liberals. Hey Carolyn, let's have a glass of merlot this weekend and discuss barrel shrouds.... 14959@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 10:37:56 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14957 Gun control is like OSHA to a criminal, it assures him of a safe workplace.... 14957@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:25:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14956 McCarthy is like a Flat-Earther. No matter how much evidence is presented to the contrary, she continues to insist gun & magazine bans are the answer. She introduces one placeboic anti-gun bill after another in hopes that one will stick, using the the bodies of the unarmed murder victims to further her cause. She is below contempt.... 14956@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 09:13:11 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14954 I agree fully with several of the posters above that this is a politician using a tragedy to push a misguided agenda. If it would work, it would have worked before when it was tried. If it had merit, it would not need the emotion of the moment for it to be embraced and would be able to survive a rational, critical eye of calmer times.... 14954@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 08:24:54 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14953 Ms McCarthy: How dare you use this tragedy as a means to push your agenda! It is absolutely shameful. Gun bans almost cost my sister her life 17 years ago because she was denied the right to protect herself. Gun bans do nothing but empower the criminals.... 14953@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 05:08:19 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14952 I find it ironic that yesterday April 19th in 1775 in Lexington, MA, the British Army marched into town and demanded that the citizens militia throw down their arms and leave. Somewhere during this confrontation a shot was fired and so began the revolution for independence. Yet now 232 years later is not some foreign power demanding us to lay down our arms but the very goverment that was formed to protect this nation and our rights.... 14952@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 02:03:26 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14951 As an elected official myself, I can see through the mud on this one. This is nothing more than another politician trying to use the death of others to satisfy their own agenda.... 14951@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 01:31:43 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14949 I have yet to see any so called gun control bill that would reduce criminal action. How dare...how DARE anyone strip the rights of law abiding citizens in order to satisfy a greedy politician's thirst to gain a glimmer of fame. I have used firearms with hi capacity magazines to defend myself and others (while protecting myself in a robbery in my store, and to stop a criminal from killing a man in a public restroom after robbing him) The main objective of the Constituional right, is to keep us on a level playing field with a potentially tyranical government, and I refuse to budge an inch on the issue.... 14949@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 01:20:04 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14948 What's the difference between two 10 rounds magazines and a 20 round magazine? A two-second mag change. This bill simply ignores reality.... 14948@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 00:37:23 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14945 MOLAN LABE!!!... 14945@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Apr 2007 00:09:20 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14943 Reality check! Even with high capacity magazines, Cho Seung-Hui still had to reload at least 2 times. Whould anything have changed AT ALL is that had been 3 or 4 times instead? You're trying to fix the wrong problem here.... 14943@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 23:29:02 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14942 This is redickless. Mag ban didn't reduce crime for those last 10 yrs they won't now. Learn what causes crime,before you start trying to ban out rights away... 14942@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 23:27:24 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14941 Laws like this cause people like me to become a criminal by self defence, but allow a criminal to harm innocent people at will because it says very clear in the VT rule book "weapons are prohibited on campus" IE: "we are unarmed and ready to be (lol the site is censoring my free speech to not let me say a 3 letter word for cease to live)!"... 14941@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:57:01 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14940 Representative McCarthy, for the sake of Democrats in the rest of the country please withdraw this bill. We need to retain both houses and earn the Presidency. Forcing Democrats to vote for this bill will only cause a horrible backlash. Please, please withdraw it.... 14940@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:55:04 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14939 For any of those Congressional staffers who may be reviewing this to advise their bosses, please let them know that all McCarthy is doing is stirring up a hornet's nest of voters who WILL remember who votes for what next November. McCarthy, Pelosi, Schumer, and their ilk are doing more to get both houses AND the White House OUT of Democratic hands than all of George Bush's misguided war has done to help them over the past 5 years. We ARE watching very closely, and we will remember next November. So when the vote comes up on this, ask yourselves this- what part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear?... 14939@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 22:38:54 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14937 HR 1859 is a repeat of something that failed the first time around, in the apparent belief that if some was completely ineffective, more will work better. Only this time, the list is being expanded to include virtually anything with a trigger and a barrel. Please, stop insulting our intelligence by pretending this is about crime. It has never been about crime. We all know criminals will always be able to obtain guns illegally. The only people who obey gun control laws are the ones who don't commit crimes in the first place. Why on earth do people persist in thinking that a violent criminal who thinks nothing of violating laws that prohibits him from committing mass murder, will obey a law that prohibits him from obtaining a gun to commit it with? This is the true irony of gun control -- if it WORKED, there would be no need for it.... 14937@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 21:24:09 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1859.html#14930 Eric Good Job !............ I just posted that video site on the H.R. 1022 board. It says it all.... It also shows the honesty involved when questioned. She didn't even do the dance right even though she was trying to lead ........... LOL... 14930@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:53:27 EDT
