What Happened To Rep. Peter King?

By Semperpapa

I was dumbfounded when I heard that Rep. Peter King, Republican from New York, was planning to bring a bill in the House for additional gun control legislature.

Rep. King, usually one whose conservatism and adherence to the Constitution I thought could be counted on, wants to introduce a bill that would make it illegal to knowingly carry a firearm within 1,000 feet of members of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary branches of government.

The first inkling about the stupidity of this action is the mere fact that New York mayor Michael Bloomberg is in support of King’s intention. Bloomberg is a progressive moron who only wants firearms in the hand of his salt police.

Is the insanity in Tucson, the media and the left wing portion of Congress contagious? Looks like it is an infectious disease spreading fast and King got it too.

So, if I understand it correctly, the new 22,947th gun control law will prohibit anyone from carrying a gun within 1,000 feet of someone like Rep. King. Such legislature would have prevented the actions of the gunman in Tucson. Really, Mr. King? Are you that stupid too?

Unless authorities are going to have a tight perimeter around the event with 500 feet radius and pat downs or metal detectors, the law is going to be just another waste of time. And if one has to get groped and molested by a TSA style approach to come and see you speak, you will have very few people at your events.

For some personal reasons, I believe that a piece of legislation like the one King is proposing if in place in Tucson, would have done not much more than nothing in deterring Jared Loughner from bringing his criminal act to completion. For some personal reason, I think that the possibility of a being fined or even jailed for couple of months would have not deterred the nutcase from “breaking” that law.
But maybe it is just me.

And if Peter King is set on introducing such stupid legislation, than he is not the Conservative I thought he was. Such legislation would only create just another defense-free zone where, just like schools and similar areas, criminally insane bastards are going to know that they will be able to conduct their “mission” without any interference.

Thank you, Peter King, in the name of all the future victims that such moronic legislation will cause. Hope your constituency will remember this on your next election.

Just my thoughts!
