Peter King, Boxer, McCarthy & Lautenberg GUN CONTROL...UPDATED 3rd time..

[Belmont31R]

Illegal to bring a gun within 1000 ft of the president, vice president, members of congress, and federal judges.



Gee thats going to stop someone like Loughner from doing what he did!



More "gun free" zones full of defenseless victims, and then the left bemoans guns every time there is a shooting. They fail to mention people are such easy targets because they don't want campus carry, they don't want teachers and staff armed in K-12 schools, they don't want pilots armed, they don't want average everyday people to be able to be armed, ect. Yet lets create more areas where the good guys can't carry. Im sure prospective assassins are going to rethink their thoughts because a law says they can't carry within 1k feet of their target.

Rep. Peter King, a Republican from New York, is planning to introduce legislation that would make it illegal to bring a gun within 1,000 feet of a government official, according to a person familiar with the congressman's intentions.

Edit for the McCarthy interview link:


Apparently 30rd magazines are "weapons of mass destruction" according to McCarthy:

Boxer wants Federal restrictions on CCW despite the fact a CCW holder came seconds away from shooting Loughner, and helped pin him down.

Also wants new Federal AWB. Of course she admits it wouldn't have stopped this shooting but why waste a good crisis if you can further your agenda?

“The kind of gun laws we have here in California that give people their gun ownership rights while also preventing the sale of guns to criminals, to people with serious mental illness and people who may abuse a spouse or partner,” said the California Democrat at a press conference in Riverside.

“Now I’m not saying that these sensible gun laws would have stopped this killer, but I do know this: It should not be easy for a killer to obtain a weapon that could kill or wound 20 people in just a few heartbeats, and stop those heartbeats.”

UPDATE: Here is the text of the proposed bill to ban magazines over 10rds from being sold or transfered. So if you already own them you can still use them just can't buy new ones or sell them to someone else.

Update 2:



Lautenberg has introduced a bill containing the magazine ban, gun show loophole, and denying people on terror watch list from purchasing guns...

“This package of common-sense gun safety bills would sail through Congress if it wasn’t for the special interest gun lobby. It’s time to put aside business as usual in Washington, and start considering the safety of our families over special interests,” Lautenberg said. “In our country, terrorists can buy weapons at gun stores, convicted felons can buy Glocks at gun shows, and just about anyone can get their hands on a 30-round magazine designed to shoot and kill quickly. Congress has a responsibility to enact common-sense reforms that will keep weapons out of the hands of criminals and terrorists, and prevent another massacre like the one we saw in Tucson.”

Update 3:


Boxer also wants every state to be "may issue" CCW where you have to show "cause" to get a permit...

Senator Boxer said, “The tragic events in Tucson earlier this month are a reminder of why we need common-sense gun laws. This measure will establish reasonable permitting standards for Americans who wish to carry concealed firearms. According to a recent poll, more than 60 percent of respondents believe there should be a reasonable permitting process for those who wish to carry concealed firearms.”

What a stupid law. I mean, there's typical leftist thinking, but then there's this. The people that are going to use a gun aren't going to be deterred by this law, but moreover, they're already planning on killing said people and will attempt to do so; they can already be charged with attempted murder and/or murder, so why tack this (comparatively) puny charge on top of that? It will only disarm those who carry for defense.

I could understand their mentality if it allowed them to charge someone who was previously immune from prosecution, but this? Seriously?

Sounds like its a direct response to the guy who brought an AR to an Obama Speech. I would agree that everyone should not be able to carry up close where the President is at

Imagine if the CCW holder at Saturday's shooting had shot Loughner to end the shooting. From all accounts he was only seconds late from being able to do just that. Under this law he would not have been able to be in that position.


Creating another gun free zone is just going to put everyone else at increased risk. CCW cannot stop every crime, and it didn't here but he came damn close. Its not going to stop loony people from trying to shoot our elected government officials.

then you'd be a silly ass. the president's presence does not somehow nullify my Constitutional right to self defense.

I want a 1 mile only I can have the gun zone around me. I also want that to include nobody can speak without my permission.

Honestly, somebody needs to explain to them they are no more special then any other human being on this planet. That they are not any form of nobility. Lastly they need to stop wasting our time with useless legislation.

Another thing I was thinking of with regards to this law. What happens when they drive by our house? It is not like we moved towards them. It is just a thought because he is suggesting a mobile gun free zero tolerance school zone type situation that is constantly moving about the nation.

[bkb0000]

why not just make it illegal to shoot a politician?

and a thousand feet? that's 333 yards.. well within range of any barely competent marksman.

[kaiservontexas]

You know BKB I think it is illegal to shoot people period without just cause such as self defense. shrugs . . . I do not know if they can grasp that concept though . . .

[dennisuello]

Call his office and tell them what you think. I got right through and was put on a 1 minute hold. Then I told them that like all other gun control laws, this would not have prevented what happened in Tucson, and would only stop law-abiding citizens, not deranged persons with criminal intent.

Yes because crazy-ass-people always obey laws!
