And did I hear mention that they were showing off "Assault Weapons" during this press conference? Doesn't that violate the DC gun ban?

It's okay. As long as it saves on life and is for the children.

Feinstein: ‘Purpose Is to Dry Up the Supply of These Weapons Over Time’
11:52 AM, Jan 24, 2013 • By DANIEL HALPER


Senator Dianne Feinstein announced an assault weapons ban today on Capitol Hill, saying, "The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time":

“The purpose is to dry up the supply of these weapons over time,” Feinstein revealed, according to the Washington Free Beacon. “Therefore, there is no sunset on this bill.”

[JALLEN]

Anybody can introduce legislation to do just about anything. Getting it passed is another problem.

Few Democrat Senators, especially the ones running in 2014 are going to want to have a vote on this.

The bills yesterday were all by Lautenburg, who is something like 89 years old and won't likely be running again. DiFi was just re-elected, won't have to run again, and at her age, probably won't anyway.

The House as presently constituted won't have any part of this.

Keep the pressure up, men, and ladies, but don't worry too much. It's phony baloney, posturing, red meat for the whackos, etc.

JAllen, I hope you're right.

Ugh...I couldn't stand to watch anymore. Did anyone catch McCarthy's "reason why this bill will work?" (about 17:50 into the video)

Paraphrased - criminals don't know how to get things on the black market. If we take them out of the stores, they can't get them...


I was going to say that it's like listening to my 2 year old daughter's reasoning, but then realized that she actually reason better than these ... people

Yes. She got permission from the police to break the law. I didn't know the police had the authority to authorize that sort of thing.

I notice she uses the term "assault pistols" in the new bill.

This makes me worry about what her next party trick is.

I don't see registration in there anymore.

And the provision seems to conflict with the no sale or transfer provision at the top:

Requiring a background check on all sales or transfers of a grandfathered assault weapon.

I thought the original plan was for background checks on private sale or transfer of ALL firearms, not just grandfathered "assault weapons.

Modern Liberals have the mindset of a five year old - absent of critical and rational judgement (according to Mr. Sayet):

I absolutely believe that they believe that they are working toward "the good." The problem is that you've eliminated critical, rational judgment; you've eliminated the ability to tell the difference between what works and what doesn't work; you're coming from the mindset of a five-year-old.

When I was five years old, the New York World's Fair closed up in my neighborhood, down the street from me, and I insisted that my father buy the monorail that went around the park because I want­ed to put it up alongside the Long Island Express­way and ease congestion and pollution because I was a liberal kid. He explained to me in grown-up fashion that we couldn't afford it and, technically, there were problems like getting the rights of way, creating a bureaucracy, etc.

When you have a conversation with a Modern Liberal about health care, there's no doubt that their goal is as good as mine was: curing air pollu­tion or curing everybody's health problems. But if you don't have the grown-up sense to be able to discuss how, what's the reality, what's the truth, you can't have a conversation where you make the world a better place. It's all fantasy at that point. Again, you're dealing with a five-year-old, so of course she wants to make the world a better place. Very, very few of us don't.

It's a matter of having given up the ability to dis­criminate: (a) they can't bring it about because it's a childish conversation; and (b) when you have to make the decisions about who gets certain things-- for example, health care, welfare, or illegal aliens-- certain decisions have to be made about who quali­fies for it, and when you're just going through indis­criminately giving all these benefits, then you're actually going to be assisting that which is most failed because they're the ones who are going to be most in need.
