Playing the same flat note over and over and over again.
She has no concerns about violating other Constitutional rights if it's all in the name of her crusade... even if it means resorting to deception and dishonesty...
In the summer of 2007, six terror suspects were arrested for plotting an attack on Fort Dix after trying to buy an assortment of M-16s, AK-47s, and handguns from a government informant. On December 22, 2008, five of the six suspects were convicted of conspiracy to kill U.S. military personnel - three of those convicted were sentenced yesterday to life in prison without possibility of parole. The sixth suspect pleaded guilty in October 2007 to providing firearms to illegal aliens, and was sentenced to 20 months in prison. In addition, four of the five suspects convicted of conspiracy were also convicted of illegal gun possession.
How and why does attempting to purchase stolen government M-16s (and AK-47s and handguns), from a government informant tie into a NICs
background check? Should the informant have been expected/require to conduct one?
On February 23, 1997, Ali Abu Kamal opened fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building with a handgun purchased in Florida in violation of federal law, killing one tourist and wounding six others before killing himself.
As stated , he obtained the firearm in violation of federal law. Yeah... so, the honorable Mrs. McCarthys legislation (had it been in place), would have prevented this, how?
On March 1, 1994, Rashid Baz shot and killed 16-year old Ari Halberstam on an on-ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge. Baz was armed with a machine gun, a 9 MM pistol, and a "street sweeper" shotgun.
A "machine gun" and a "street sweeper" shotgun!?!
I guess her selfish ignorance has left her deaf to a little bit of federal legislation called "the National Firearms Act".
On November 5, 1990, El Sayed A. Nosair assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane in a Manhattan hotel with a .357 revolver with a defaced serial number. Nosair was linked to the perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Hello... McFly!
Rabbi Meir Kahane was on of the founders of the JDL.
Think there might have been just a tad of friction/animosity involved there?
I'm sorry about McCarthys personal loss, but she's just a sad, bitter piece of work that needs to retire.
