Carolyn McCarthy is trying to claim that there’s momentum building for her magazine prohibition bill H.R. 308:
“… “Every day another Congress member, another editorial board, another organization and another American fed up with gun violence is standing up to support a ban on high-capacity magazines,” said Rep. McCarthy …”
Except that’s not what is happening. The list of co-sponsors is largely made up of the same tired old bunch of antis from traditional leftist bastions including New York and California. As for newspaper editorial boards like the New York Times, who cares what they think? They don’t represent public opinion. As for Joe Citizen, if there was mass public support for gun control then why can’t McCarthy prove this by showing the truckloads of constituent mail Congressmembers have gotten demanding action on this issue? It simply is not there.
wonder what she’s smoking
There’s support for this kind of stuff among the California political elite but not among the people.
My nephew used to live there. At the time he said guns are basically illegal but everybody has them. From what I know about California he’s right.
Most people don’t get excited about a metal box with a spring in it.
