News from the front: Sucks to be a gun owner in NY these days. The only thing worse, is that I saw tonight on the news that California wants to pass an even "tougher" law. They're going to out-stupid the stupid.

Looks like the Group of Stupid people to me who really don't know what they are talking about but think they do. That makes them look even sillier as they want to look like they are doing something useful but they are NOT.

.....New York is not alone; We have our jackasses too :
Gun proposal reactions vary among Georgia congressmen
Quote:
Rep. David Scott, an Atlanta Democrat, indicated he was in favor of the restrictions on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, but he said lawmakers must be vigilant in showing they respect gun rights.
“It’s not the gun in and of itself, it is the gun in the wrong hands, and we have to figure out how we can avoid that,” David Scott said.

.....Another Congressman from Georgia : Hank Johnson
Gun proposal reactions vary among Georgia congressmen
Quote:
DeKalb County Democratic Rep. Hank Johnson saw racism in the powerful gun lobby’s attacks on the president.
“I think they have invoked racist sensitivities,” Johnson said. “They are certainly not free of those kinds of tactics to win their battle. They will gladly confuse people. They will gladly divide people. And so whatever it takes for them to accomplish their objective, which is no limits on firearm use and possession whatsoever.”
Johnson said he was working with colleagues across the aisle in the Republican-controlled House, where prospects for new gun legislation are slim. Among Obama’s proposals for Congress were bans on assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, policies some Democrats also reject.
