When there is a big issue that is overwhelmingly unsupported by the public, they throw out empty words like this only to kill the issue. After the calm, they sneak it through by attaching it to another bill or something like that. I don't trust ANYONE in congress including Boehner. |

I just feel that certain types of weapons should be more heavily regulated. And if a person has a violent history or is mentally unstable, they should not be allowed to purchase a weapon. In many ways I find guns fascinating. I love seeing some people's gun collections, especially WWII ones. Yo... DIPSHIT... It was an ordinary Glock 9mm that was used by the psycho. There wasn't any kind of unreasonable weapon used. Once again, you demonstrate that you have your head up your ass. The biggest threat to this country isn't guns.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 851544 United States 01/12/2011 08:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is rejecting gun-control legislation offered by the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee in response to the weekend shootings of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 19 others in Arizona. Quoting: CrazyJarheadRep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) announced plans Tuesday to introduce legislation prohibiting people from carrying guns within 1,000 feet of members of Congress. King, who has previously called for the removal of illegal guns from the streets, made the announcement alongside New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the nation’s loudest voices for stricter gun laws. King said the legislation is not intended only for the safety of government officials but also to protect the public. He said elected officials are not necessarily more important than constituents, but by protecting them in this way, they would feel safer in meeting federal officials at public events. “The fact is they do represent the people who elect them, and it’s essential, if we’re going to continue to have contact, that the public who are at these meetings are ensured of their own safety,” King said. King’s legislation got the cold shoulder from Boehner and other Republicans after it was announced. Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said the Speaker would not support King’s legislation. The office of Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said the majority leader is reserving judgment until the King bill is finalized. “Mr. Cantor believes it’s appropriate to adequately review and actually read legislation before forming an opinion about it,” Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring stated in an e-mail. The immediate rejection of King’s legislation by Boehner illustrates the difficulty gun-control advocates will face in moving forward with any legislation. Even Capitol Hill’s most ardent gun reformers don’t anticipate any changes to the nation’s gun laws will be forthcoming in the 112th Congress. They say the combination of a GOP-led House and the powerful gun lobby is simply too formidable to take on over an issue that’s become a proverbial third rail of Washington politics. “Anything you can get through the gun lobby is going to have little consequence,” Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), a longtime supporter of tightening Second Amendment restrictions, said in a phone interview. “I don’t see the likelihood of much progress — I don’t see much hope.” [link to thehill.com] Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) |

Wrong, in the Supreme Court case of DC v Heller, the court held the 2nd Amendment is an "individual" right that has nothing to do with "militias". In Chicago v McDonald, the Supreme Court held that the 2nd Amendment is a "fundamental right," just like the right to free speech. Don't like it? Move your commie ass to China. JAR HEAD, I DON'T HAVE 2ND AMANDMENT IN FRONT OF ME BUT DOSN'T IT STATE WE ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A FIRE ARM AS TO BE READY WHEN THE MILITIAS CALL.? MIGHT BE THE OHIO LAW. Yes...Ohio and other states had in their constitutions the REQUIREMENT that the head of household have a fire arm AND train with it, much like Switzerland (coincidently NOT invaded by Hitler). Behind every blade of grass......so that the responsible citizens can protect the rest. Contrary to the belief of those who would deny me the right.....I DO have the right to carry and use if necessary, an equalizer to defend against an attack on me, my loved ones, and even those who would deny my right. And I DO exercise that right and the responsibility that goes with it. The greatest illusion is the illusion of separation. |
