It’s called the Anti-Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act of 2007, and it’s being introduced by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy despite a lack of any evidence suggesting that the shooter, Cho, actually used a large capacity clip or anything like that (and even evidence to suggest that he didn’t use any such thing).
But hey, these grab-the-guns busybodies are nothing if not opportunists. School shootings and the like are what they live for. Without them, these legislators wouldn’t be able to gin up the level of self-righteous indignation it takes to introduce these laws as though they should actually be taken seriously.
They need the violence in order to justify their infringements upon our rights. I’m not saying they like it, just that they aren’t opposed to using it as so many political poker chips.
And speaking of small-minded, liberal opportunists here’s Keith Olbermann tacitly blaming the Virginia Tech massacre on Bush/Republicans:
Of course, Olbermann is completely wrong. High-capacity magazines were never a part of the assault weapons ban. Not that someone like Olbermann is about to let a little bit of fact get in the way of some primo Bush bashing.
Don’t expect a correction.
