Well Mrs McCarthy's husband and 17 other Long Islanders were were brutally murdered on a LIRR traiin by a man called Colin Ferguson who kinda did what this fine young white boy did in Tucson yesterday. What is truly sickening and disgusting is the response of a sniveling gutless nation that did nothing for Mr McCarthy and his grieving wodow over a decade ago and will do nothing today and may make it possible for the Glocks of the world to market a fully automatic easily concealable pistol with an even bigger magazine. Matbe even market a dumdum round so when you get a head shot those nice surgeons at the trauma center wont be able to do much for the victim.
Exactly what are you referring to as a "dumdum round"? If you're referring to hollow points they are commonly used by police and legally armed civilians. Their rapid expansion results in less likelihood of over penetration minimizing the risk of injury to innocent bystanders.
Try posting honest facts rather than emotion filled rhetoric.

FAIL! GLOCK does not and never has marketed a fully automatic pistol in the USA for the civilian consumer. No manufacturer does.That is against our Federal Fireams laws and has been for many decades.
It will fizzle out like a Pelosi fart in the Obama wind of change, but still it's pretty sad and sickening that a lawmaker would try to leverage this event for more laws.

You missed the point of the message, You are one of the sniveling gutless Americans who will boohoohoo and say how tragic this all is and then do nothing and even send in your check to the NRA so what little regulation we have on the books is gotten rid off. Then the next toubled soul can get all the firepower he will need and dream about. Why suffer in silence when you can join that great American pantheon just like Klebold, Cho or Ferguson and get 24/7 Media coverage. Why indeed.

More accurately I am one of the non-sniveling Americans that is willing to accept personal responsibility for my own safety. Having spent a substantial amount of time working in law enforcement I do not expect government to protect me from all the crazies in the world. It just isn't something they can do.
As has been often stated there are very good reasons crazies generally choose gun free zones to commit their crimes. They know there is very little chance anyone in them will be able to mount an effective resistance.
As far as my sending a check to the NRA you're wrong. They compromise too much for my tastes. I send my money to Gun Owners of America.
I didn't miss your point. I just saw the post for what it was...a collection of half truths intended to influence the uninformed to support your position based on nothing other than emotion.

The clip that was used in this attack, was previously banned. Who the hell needs a gun that shoots off 30 rounds without reloading??
Few firearms use clips. No modern pistols use clips. If you are referring to the magazine (yes, accurate terminology matters) what is your point? The Clinton gun ban never worked, never could.
I have the same manufacturer original magazine in my desk drawer fully loaded and it has not killed anyone. Who are you to dictate what I or any other law abiding gun owner "needs"?
"Needs" is not a qualifier for the right to keep and bear arms nor for accessories to those arms. Please point out in the Second Amendment where it is if you disagree.
