Now is not the time to talk about gun laws...

[Bfgrn]

“Leaders in Washington from both parties, and groups like the NRA, all say that now is not the time to talk about how gun safety laws can save lives in America.

I agree, now is not the time to talk about gun laws – the time for that conversation was long before all those kids in Connecticut died today.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy - Statement from Rep. Carolyn McCarthy on Connecticut School Shooting






Carolyn McCarthy (born January 5, 1944) is the U.S. Representative for New York's 4th congressional district, serving since 1997. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

McCarthy was born Carolyn Cook in Brooklyn, raised in Mineola. Her father was a boilermaker and her mother worked at Woolworth. In her youth, she was an athlete and wanted to become a physical education teacher but found reading challenging and later was diagnosed with dyslexia. After caring for a boyfriend who was injured in a car accident, McCarthy decided to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse.

Later she married and lived with her family in Mineola, a suburban area about twenty miles outside New York City on Long Island. On December 7, 1993, her husband, Dennis, was killed and her son, Kevin, severely injured on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train at the Merillon Avenue station, when spree killer, Colin Ferguson, opened fire on passengers. Ferguson killed six and wounded 19 others. McCarthy responded to the crime by launching a campaign for more stringent gun control that eventually propelled her to Congress in 1996 on the Democratic ticket.

McCarthy was a registered Republican before her first run for Congress. She has "evolved over the years into a reliable Democratic vote.

Are you even slightly aware you are reinforcing that conservatism is merely FEAR taking over a person's mind?

Sorry, but I don't trust any gubmint enough to hand over my guns. History proves me correct. Dictators and tyranny cannot survive against a fully armed public, that's why they make them sitting ducks, first.

America does not have a dictator and it is not a tyranny. It is a democratic republic, by LAW. So thanks for doubling down and proving the very core of conservatism is FEAR.

Sorry bitch. You don't get to set the terms of the debate when it comes to my constitutional rights. You don't budge one inch when it comes to yours do you? I won't let you use yesterdays tragedy to bully me inot accepting your bullshit notions. I actually wished you cared about those children. You don't. You merely cynically use their deaths to further your political aims. You are the scum of the earth.
