This is what passes for a Republican in New York???? Doesn't this jackass realize that a law like this would just make events like last Saturday more frequent???

Do politicians actually graduate?

 

These nut jobs do not care what law tells them not to..

it is against the law to murder people and that did not stop him, Wait a minute will make a law to not carry within 1000 ft of politicians that should work..f'in idiot..

[YankeeFan 49]

Instead of a gun-free zone around politicians... I suggest a politician-free zone around our guns.

[vladtepes 1,060]

So.. the law on the books prohibits you from murdering someone correct?

that law was obviously completely ignored..

but if you make a law baring guns in an area..

then no one will be able to shoot someone because they won't be able to legally carry a gun close enough..

sometimes I think that completely ignoring logic is a prerequisite to becoming a successful politician..

Right. Pass a law keeping them 1000 feet from citizens. (Yes, I know that's a stupid idea.) Just put them in "bullet proof" glass cages when they go out in public. Like gorillas.

And King is usually more normal than the rest of the crowd.

He's always been like this when it comes to guns though. He was the token Republican to support giving the Attorney General the power to make secret lists and prevent you from buying a gun because you're on it. Oh, and you would have no way of knowing you're on it except that you get refused at a NICS check. And you have no legal recourse to remove yourself from that list if it's there in error. Scary, scary stuff..

WOW...NOW that is the best idea I have ever heard in my entire life...seriously !

Apparently the disease has spread..

This may not be someone who is stupid. I would not be surprised if this was some sort of stunt to try and make himself look good.

[YankeeFan 49]

The blooming idiot had to get in on the action as well...

I see it as a lesser of 2 stupids. Either ban magazines which hold more than 10 rounds or ban guns within 1000 ft of politicians (which most of us can't do anyway, since we don't have CCW). I swear some gun owner who's terminally ill might just flip one day and say F Lautenberg or whoever else. I don't want to be anywhere near 1000 ft of these politicians when bullets start flying.

[vladtepes 1,060]

someone should tell these politicians that they have nothing to worry about since the only thing in their heads seems to be some rocks and a bunch of empty space..

[DirtyDigz 1,812]

This is genius! Now anywhere in the world where violence flares up we just have to parachute in some U.S. politicians and the gunfire instantly ceases!

 

World peace!

[average joe 5]

How would he propose to enforce it ?

[vladtepes 1,060]

divert millions of dollars to set up blocked off areas and screen every person who enters.. come on man.. spending money.. that is the government way..

 

how full of yourself can you get..

[njpilot 671]

Just another example of these people forgetting that they are not of a ruling class. They are "citizen legislators, no more important than the people they represent and shouldn't be treated as such.

 

If they did as the Founders intended, served a term or two and then go back to their private life, instead of becoming full time politicians, we probably wouldn't have these problems with people so full of themselves and their own warped view of self-importance.

Hey I have a better idea, how about a law banning morons from serving in Congress... That would seem to be more effective to me...

we'd have no congress then.

[tbtrout 141]

And once again a member of the US Government shows what an absolute moron he is with a baseless kneejerk reaction looking for news headlines. What a jackass.

Maybe there will be so many of us that they would need to hold their 'rallies' somewhere out in a field, away from people, pens and legislation...
