We just discussed rabidly anti-gun New York Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy's histrionics over the appointment of Kirsten Gillibrand to fill Hillary Clinton's vacated senate seat.
Aren't I being a bit unfair? Isn't that a little harsh?
Well what would you call someone who wants to ban something--who wants to make criminals out of people who possess something she doesn't approve of--and she doesn't even know what it is? Gun activists will be familiar with this video. Some of you newer to the debate need to know about it too.
And here, Carolyn introduces special guest star, Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington, who wants to ban .50 BMG rifles because, according to her, they shoot an "incendiary...heat seeking device"!
You couldn't make this stuff up. These are the people who would use the power of the state to disarm you and me. They insist on imposing their ignorance on the rest of us-- under force of law.
It's simply unconscionable.
