Somebody shot the wrong McCarthy.

H.R. 189 - Anti-Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act of 2007 - was introduced in Congress by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy yesterday. She sure didn't waste any time dancing on the dead bodies of the students and professors at VPI&SU aka Virginia Tech.

Ive got a better idea! Heavily tax ammunition! $2 a round should do the trick.

The next person will just calmly reload like chokes on wee while everyone sits and waits for the next barrage.

I doubt it, even the dems in the senate are anti-gun control luckily it seems (even Reid the majority leader has said that he doesn't see the need or intelligence in using this tradgedy for advancing gun control laws).

It seems like now the house is the gun grabbers hall, and the senate, while democratically leaning, has enough of the moderate dems who are not gun grabbers to save america (from what I read in an article on CNN yesterday). Which is a good thing

No...the Dems know it is an election year and they don't want to piss off the American people. The democratic party thinks Pro-Gun control issues cost Gore Florida in 2000 and Kerry Ohio in 2004.

Basically goes to prove that their agenda has nothing to do with "safety" or "protecting the public". They'll simply use any tragedy as a stepping stone to pick apart a little more of the existing gun rights. . . until nothing is left.

I wonder if anyone has ever tried to calculate how many deaths & murders have occurred to liberal idealism?

don't feel bad.. it will save you the annoyance of having to load a russian style 75rd drum for the AK you can't own either. Man that loading procedure takes forever and is a pain in the ass... worth it though as it doesn't jam as often as the chinese versions of the 75rd drum... hey there is another annoyance that it saves you from, having your chinese version of the 75rd drum jam on you when you try to fire it...

See the PRK is just looking out for you...
