WASHINGTON -- In the immediate aftermath of the shooting in Aurora, the debate over gun control policy has more or less centered on whether it's an appropriate time to even have a debate.
But several lawmakers have demanded that the government not shy about tackling the legislative issue. Mayor Michael Bloomberg set the tone when he urged the two presidential candidates to outline their policies with respect to federal gun laws. And now, Sen. Frank Lautenberg's (D-N.J.) office is saying that he plans to reintroduce legislation that would curtail the ability of a shooter to fire at length without reloading.
"If reports are correct and a high-capacity gun magazine was used to commit these awful murders, Senator Lautenberg will absolutely renew his effort to limit the availability of this dangerous firearm attachment," Lautenberg's communications director Caley Gray told The Huffington Post.

Yes they will.+14Let them try. It won't go anywhere. It's political suicide to restrict the Constitution and every politician knows that.






















Poll: Fewer Americans support stricter gun control laws

If you're going to follow the constitution, you should read the whole thing. It specifically states that gun rights are to be well regulated.
Yeah, but that's not what this article said. This article said RESTRICT.
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Incidentally the SCOTUS has upheld that the 2nd amendment does apply to private citizens and has repeatedly upheld the citizens right to own and carry firearms.
See Heller vs. District of Columbia
Samuel A. Alito Jr., who wrote the opinion for the court's dominant conservatives, said: "It is clear that the Framers . . . counted the right to keep and bear arms among those fundamental rights necessary to our system of ordered liberty."
So, yeah. The Supreme court sees it my way.
Instead, why don't these ass hats introduce tougher penalties? I'll print this idea again. Take this case in Colorado. If the guy is caught red handed, and proof of his despicable act can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, based on evidence and eye-witness testimony, then fast track his/her sentence! Take the perpetrator out immediately, tie them to a pole, blindfold and execute them. Rids us of a piece of evil and saves the American taxpayer thousands and thousands of dollars in housing etc.
I am willing to bet that those who plan such heinous events will think twice.
Ok go look at the requirements if you can find an old Constitution text.
The American People need to all be the mandate to wear their firearms from now on. People lik the Clown from Colorado will not last a minute in a hail of gunfire. He might not even fall to Earth with Arms or head/
