Top Republican will Introduce Tight Gun Control Legislation

Rep. Peter King wants to present legislation that would make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official.

King is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. The proposed law follows the Saturday shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and a federal judge that left six dead, including the judge, and 14 wounded.


New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the nation's most outspoken gun-control advocates, is backing King's measure and is expected to put the weight of his pro-gun-control organization behind it.


"Yesterday everyone here joined in observing a moment of silence on behalf of the victims of the shooting, and today we come together to speak up for ways to prevent tragedies like this from occurring in the future, by adopting commonsense fixes to some of our broken gun laws," Bloomberg said Tuesday. "Civil debate is important, and I've long spoken out in favor of more cooperation and less antagonism, but I think it's true that the more we learn, the more it becomes clear that this case is fundamentally about a mentally ill drug abuser who had access to guns and shouldn't have."

This will be interesting to see who will be against it or if the NRA will fight this.

More from "Chris" The Fool... the guy with the rifle and gun at Obama's Speech

Who is This Fool?

I'm lost for words...

In Arizona (Shock, NOT) some cretin walked around with 2 guns during Obama's speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention.

When he finally got the attention of the media, this is what he had to say:

A man, who decided not to give his name, was walking around the pro-health care reform rally at 3rd and Washington streets, with a pistol on his hip, and an AR-15 (a semi-automatic assault rifle) on a strap over his shoulder.

"Because I can do it," he said when asked why he was armed. "In Arizona, I still have some freedoms."

You cumrag! What are you talking about? Oh, "I'm bringing some guns to show I have Freedoms".

Eat a shoe, idiot! They should have arrested you for being stupid. However, it's legal in Arizona to carry a gun for NOASS REASON.
