Seems she's one of the co-sponsors of HR1022, the misnamed Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization bill.WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) offered the following statement regarding Sen. Tom Coburn’s successful amendment to her credit card bill which would allow guns in national parks, reversing a restriction that’s been in place since the Reagan presidency: “It’s just wacky. Tacking on guns in parks to a strong consumer bill simply makes no sense.”

Re: National Park Carry Bill Passed
While I would like to see House and Senate rules changed so that all amendments must be germane to the bill being amended I am finding some humor here. The bill's author Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) had this to say about Sen Coburn's amendment getting hung on her bill:
9/12/09 - Day 174 - Finally in hand

Re: National Park Carry Bill Passed
I personally don't care HOW it gets passed. They can tack it onto a bill for credit cards, road tariffs, exports, or the price of wheat------as long as it DOES GET PASSED!
For any of you who ever travel to Corpus Christi, take a ride down PArk Road 22 (South Padre Island Drive) toward the entrance to the National Seashore. As you approach it, you'll cross the Kleberg County line. NOw Kleberg County is actually about 50 miles from this point by road (due to a large piece of the gulf of Mexico intruding), therefore the Kleberg county sheriff rarely patrols it. (It's a 100 mile round trip for them.) And since it's outside of CC, the CC police and the Nueces county sheriff have no jurisdiction. therefore, the fringes of the PArk have become a giant transient camp, and perhaps the drug capital of the area. I would never take a woman or child through this area without packing something lethal under my car seat. Wouldn't even drive through there alone without it. (Those of you who have seen it will know what I mean.)
My point: if you DON'T carry your own personal protection down here, and on into the Park, you're not too bright. So however this law allows it to be so, I'm for it. And since there's no grizzlies or moose--just hopheads--almost any caliber will do.
