Elementary school shooting gun control pissing contest

I think there is some difference of opinion on 'assault swords' though.

Damn does that include my Landsknecht Zweihänder?

You're safe since it was made before 1900.

In that case I think virtually all assault swords are also safe then

Piers Morgan got yelled at by Alex Jones, one of the internet's biggest nuts.

In other news, the kick piers out petition isn't that funny anymore since I found out Alex jones created it. But I'd still like piers dropped out of a C-17.

Did Alex Jones think Piers Morgan was an pawn of the Illuminati?

[derspiess]

I didn't really know who Alex Jones was until this episode.  Why not just deport both of them.

Nice how he was honest of about why conservative are mad about Fast and Furious.  It's to defame the 2nd amendment.

So Biden mentioned that Obama might use executive orders to push his gun control agenda, which is interesting in a couple ways.  First, it may be a sign that the administration realizes it isn't going to have much luck pushing anything through congress. 

Second, there are no real significant gun control measures that can be taken via executive order.  AFAIK about the only card Obama can play is to curtail importation of foreign-made firearms and/or ammunition.  That would annoy gun owners by driving up prices and limiting availability, but I don't think it would have much effect beyond that.

Of course, it's Joe Biden speaking so who the hell knows if it has any basis in reality in the first place.

What's interesting about this to me is that AFAIK no one has actually proposed a legislative agenda that has no chance in Congress.  I hear plenty of talk about standing up to the intimidation of the NRA, how the time to act is finally here, how important it is to protect our children, but not a peep about what laws should be changed.

Feinstein introduced her wish list bill, and one could argue that it's a starting point and could be pared down to something that would pass the Senate.  No way it would pass the House, though.  Not sure if anything other than a symbolic measure would.

Which come to think of it the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban was largely symbolic, unless you think bayonet lugs were a huge public threat.
