Ten gun bills on Congress's first day

[peterd]

Members of the 113th Congress introduced 10 bills on Thursday relating to gun violence, most of which came from Democrats seeking new restrictions on gun ownership.

The flurry of legislative proposals show that members are likely to push the issue in the wake of the December shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that left 20 children dead.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.), whose husband was shot to death in 1993, introduced four of the bills. The congresswoman has vowed to seek changes in federal law in response to the school shooting.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) proposed H.R. 65, which would raise the eligibility age to carry a handgun from 18 to 21.

Then let's also raise the minimum age to enlist in the military to 21 as well. God forbid we should expose our youngsters to military firearm training.

H.R. 137: To ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale.

National criminal databases already exist.

Two freshman Republicans introduced contrary bills that would end federal law requiring that areas around schools be designated as "gun free zones." These bills, H.R. 35 from Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas) and H.R. 133 from Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), are a response to findings that violence in and around schools has increased since the gun free zone law took effect in 1990.

Sailor's definition of a "Gun Free Zone:" A freefire zone where the criminal has a reasonable expectation of not being confronted and stopped by an armed individual prior to the police showing up, announcing their arrival with sirens and allowing the criminal the option of departing either in a vehicle, on foot or by a self-inflicted bullet to the head.

Sheila Jackson Lee is an idiot. She is anti-American as they come. Praised Chavez, Castro, and Khadafi. From her we cannot expect much. it is amazing how idiot like her get elected.

It is hard to understand when the Democrats established in their own minds the the initial arbiter of citizens rights should be the government.

Lack of personal decision is not freedom from injustice, it is servitude.

Servitude, to the few selected of their own and majority can suffer.
