Anyone has a right to hate anything. Just because her fear is irrational and unreasoned, doesn't make it any less terrifying for her. Some people are more succeptible to fear and loathing, particularly if they've suffered an severe trauma resulting from the use of an object. Which is why I don't judge her individual situation. I simply judge her ethics, based on her position as a lawmaker.
Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York plans to introduce legislation in the coming days that would limit access to the type of weaponry used to gun down Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) and 19 other people.
McCarthy today will officially announce she is working on a bill targeting the high-capacity ammunition clips the gunman allegedly used in the shooting, as Politico first reported.
"My staff is working on looking at the different legislation fixes that we might be able to do and we might be able to introduce as early as tomorrow," she told Politico.
Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Robert Brady of Pennsylvania plans to introduce a bill to make it a federal crime to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a member of Congress or federal official, CNN reports.
Of course anyone can hate anything but based on her experience there is no justification to hate guns in general, I have a right to hate ice but to say after i slipped on an icy sidewalk i am totally justified in hating it is simplistic at best. In her case she would be justified in hating criminals because thats what took her family but not guns because that was the tool they used to kill him or lead because the bullet was made from it or brass because of the shell casing. We shouldnt even give any credibility to the claim that someone can hate guns because they lost a loved one to them. I dont hate steel pipes and my grandpa was murdered wit one, nor do i hate vacuum cleaner cords because my cousin was hung with one by some bikers nor do i hate steel toed boots because my other grandpa was murdered with a few kicks to the head from someone wearing them.
Feel free to argue semantics with her. Let me know how that works out for you. In the meantime, we need someone on the pro-gun side to marginalize her with logic. Letting her use her fragile emotions as a weapon against our 2A rights needs to be stopped.
As long as you have women in politics, you're gonna have emotion-based, knee-jerk legislation.
There, I said it.
