Gun Control Amendment

Nothing is more amusing that watching Dems squirm when the mention of gun rights is brought up.

There is an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill allowing permit holders to carry concealed weapons across state lines.

According to POLITICO, the democrats are upset for a number of very good reasons:

"Why would we want to walk the streets wondering, ‘Who has a gun in their pockets?’" asked Democratic Senatorial Committee Chairman Robert Menendez (D-N.J.).

Feinstein called the measure “reckless,” “irresponsible,” and “a major violation of state rights.”

“I have to doubt that if the amendment passes, people will die as a result of it,” Feinstein told reporters today.

OK, so those who LEGALLY carry guns are going to cause people to die. The thing I have never understood was why we legislate to those who obey the law when those using guns to harm others are doing so illegally.

If I wanted to rob someone with a gun, or murder someone with a gun, or whatever the case may be; those acts are illegal ones. Do you really think I would care about obtaining the gun legally? Carrying it legally?

Note to Congress: Its not those that obey the law you have to worry about.
