Carolyn McCarthy Speaks Out on Magazine ban

The gist of her argument...

Oh, sorry, this is the link...

It was so easy to get the two mixed up.

So, her main argument is that because some criminals are better armed than police, so she needs to restrict non-police possession of weapons? Her secondary argument is that both in the shooting of her husband on the Long Island Railroad and the shooting of Representative Giffords in Arizona the shooter was tackled while reloading, so that is desirable to require non-police to reload more often by prohibiting sales of magazines greater than ten round capacity? What about the concept of each individual taking ultimate responsibility for their own safety and for their families by being armed and proficient in the use of the weapons and immediately taking these shooters down without tackling them. This is a murderer, not an opposing player in a football game. Cowering in fear while your friends and family are butchered, waiting for someone else to do something, anything, is nonsensical.

I am beginning to think that as soon as someone says "common sense" that their argument be immediately shut off and rejected, as it basically attempts to insult the intelligence of all opposed to the argument and rejects all counter-arguments. A gross violation of 1st Amendment rights? Well, to protect our 2nd Amendment rights, I think that action makes "common sense".

First of all, Colin Ferguson purchased a firearms on the west coast, despite having a police record, flew across America, ticket purchased by persons unindicted, boarded the train in order to kill white people; killing McCarthy's EX-husband and injuring her son and the others.

It's still amazing that her sole reason for being in congress remains this incident that was successful because New York makes it so difficult for the law abiding to be armed at all times.

Despite all of that, we must impress upon Mrs. McCarthy that we're NOT going to tolerate her interference with our exercise of our intrinsic rights...

EVER AGAIN.

They took it down. I searched for the text and can't find it elsewhere. I could copy and paste it here but it has a copyright on it and after what Righthaven has done to other bloggers I'm not willing to have a $75K judgment filed against me.
