Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill

[Roadie]

This is ridiculous. Limiting magazines to ten rounds is about as effective as trying to conserve gas by mandating gas tanks on cars be 10 gallons or less....

The question is... how much time did he save by using 30 rounds in one clip instead of 30 rounds in 2 clips... I mean... considering he never got shot or even injured at all. How much time does it take to drop a mag and put one it... 2 seconds. Youre trying to ban 2 seconds to try and prevent psychos from killing you.

Gentlemen...prepare to defend yourselves "McCarthy unveils gun-control bill" AWB2

Here they come with their BS bills, but do not keep your head in the sand, THEY ARE TRYING TO TAKE OUR FREDOMS

Carolyn McCarthy unveils gun-control bill - Shira Toeplitz - POLITICO.com

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy’s (D-N.Y.) bill also goes further than than the assault weapon ban that expired in 2004, outlawing the sale or transfer of clips that hold more than ten rounds, even those obtained before the law takes effect, according to a copy of the bill obtained by POLITICO.​

The bill closes a loophole in the expired assault weapon ban that let gun owners buy high-capacity magazines made before the ban took effect in 1994.

The bill carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

“The only purpose for the existence of these devices is to be able to shoot as many people as possible as quickly as possible,” McCarthy wrote in a letter to her colleagues that accompanied the bill. “There is no reason that these devices should be available to the general public.”​

Not a shocker

I'm surprised it took them this long to try the gun grab again. As far as I'm concerned its just one idiot responding to the actions of a mad man.

 

[coltaceguy]

No its not shocking but people need to be aware

ITS HAPPENING...none of this "No they won't try new gun control too much other stuff to worry about" blah blah BS

ITS HERE


Lets get ready to FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[mrjarrell]

Not going to happen. It will go to committee and die there, just like her previous bills. Boehner has already said that no gun control bills are going to get a hearing. Stop worrying. Oh, and since no-one's said it yet.
IBTL (there are already a couple of other threads on this one).

 

[HereNthere]

Here we go again (small surprise). If "ignorance is bliss", some of these congress-people must be higher than a kite.

 

[confused89]

I hope Boehner keeps his word then and does in fact kill it before it gets a chance.

 

[CVMA544]

The bill carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.

Hmmm, is that per mag?......OH Boy, wonder how long it takes to get paroled if your sentanced to 500 years?
