Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill
One of the fiercest gun-control advocates in Congress, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), pounced on the shooting massacre in Tucson Sunday, promising to introduce legislation as soon as Monday.
McCarthy ran for Congress after her husband was gunned down and her son seriously injured in a shooting in 1993 on a Long Island commuter train.

Fixed it for ya....luckily for us I don't think she's ever had a single piece of legislation (gun related or not) pass. Not that we can afford to relax, though.
-
She introduces gun control legislation every session. It's her passion. I'm sure she carries around a bill ready to introduce at a moment's notice after every shooting tragedy.
-
If anything, with all the party fingerpointing, this will separate the two parties more. Nothing will get passed the house that the dems introduce as far as gun control. The dems are going to play this as hard as they can, overkill is not going to be in their favor.
I hope I'm right.

McCarthy was the one who, when asked what a "barrel shroud" was, said "I believe it is a shoulder thing that goes up". Should a person not fully know the subject they are trying to regulate?

Onthefly:- Ignorance is seldom an impediment to Congress, particularly when it comes to gun control.
Ronvandyn: No one that pays any attention. She is an opportunistic vulture that built her 'career' on her husband's corpse.

I disagree with her as much as the next person here, but that's going a bit too far. I think she is wrong-headed, but I don't question the sincerity of her position, no matter how ill-conceived it may be.
-
Sincere? sure, but my point is her initial qualifications for congress amounted to her husband getting shot. Tragic certainly, but was that not THE reason she ran & was elected?
I DO question her competency concerning guns, the 'cause' she is allegedly so passionate about. Exhibit A for the prosecution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospNRk2uM3U (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospNRk2uM3U) Conclusion? She is too lazy to even minimally educate herself about HER OWN PROPOSED LEGISLATION. So while she may be sincere, she is sincerely wrong and ignorant.
IMO she is a shameless opportunist that promotes herself on the suffering of others. She disgusts me.
