Re: Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill

Just home in the last day, four days post knee surgery in a hospital that doesn't have any 30.06 signs, that I noticed anyway, but if you try to access TXCHLFORUM from there it comes up blocked because the site pertains to "weapons."

I am sending them mail, both electronic and paper about it, directly to the CEO.

-----------------------------------------------------

So after four days of being held incommunicado I get home and find the same old stuff, anti-gun forces marshaling around to dance in the blood of the victims.

Legislation to "protect" our legislators by establishing some sort of rolling 1000 foot gun free zone around them, which should be compared to the effectiveness of the 1000 foot gun free zone, and the question should then be asked; "How's that working for you?"

And then of course Carolyn comes up with an addition to her attempt to ban something that doesn't get used enough to justify such a ban, an addition that will ban "high capacity" magazines once again, legislation that didn't work the last time we had it, and make it retroactive to forever, which I see as "ex post facto" despite the explanations of others on this forum.

And then a political ad that uses a ploy that has been around for a very long time, "targeting" certain areas, set to graphics, and suddenly it was an "invitation to mayhem" because it was a "rifle sight" superimposed on the various states. And a newsie last night, althougn never really on our side in the past, says that it was not a "rifle sight" but just crosshairs (as if their was that much of a difference.

One has to wonder if these people have ever sat back and taken stock of themseleves ala Robert Burns:
"O would some Power the gift to give us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion"
