“Closing the terror gap”

| May 5, 2010

I just watched NYC’s Mayor Bloomberg and his Police Chief Ray Kelly lecture Joe Lieberman and the Senate Homeland Security Committee about “closing the terror gap in our gun laws” which, I guess is the new code phrase for “gun control”.

Apparently, they want the FBI to be able to prevent “potential terrorists” from legally buying guns. How do you identify “potential terrorists” without profiling?

Since Bloomberg, Kelly and Rep. Peter King were busy profiling white men on Sunday for the failed attack on Saturday, we can be pretty sure they won’t be restricting any real potential terrorists from buying guns.

Of course, Bloomberg blamed President Bush for not “closing the terror gap”. Yet another thing Bush got right. And oh, how would writing more laws that law enforcement won’t enforce have prevented the failed attack last Saturday?

It’s like gun control is their answer to everything including unemployment and inflation.

An unarmed citizen is a peasant. That’s what they want. They’ve become so obsessed with power that they need to control the masses, not improve them.

Yes, and we see how well those strict gun control laws work in places like Detroit, Washington DC, NYC, and Los Angeles, you assclowns. There’s a reason Heinlein said, “An armed society is a polite society.”

Tell me again how a gun control law would prevent someone from attempting to blow up a car bomb??

NHSparky

It wouldn’t, but Bloomberg likes to make those big leaps–you know, car bomber, hates Obamacare, gotta keep guns away from law-abiding citizens–doesn’t it make more sense now?

Nah, I didn’t think so, either.

God, we have morons everywhere in high places.

Come on Ray – you are a Marine – you should know better.

If I remember correctly, it was Henry Clay who said that “A man with a rifle is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.”

I agree completely. We are citizens, and free men. Our elected officials are attempting to make us subjects. It must not be allowed to happen.

Susan……John Murtha was a Marine, also. I’m just sayin.

Bloomberg has had a hard-on for grabbing guns for years and has done everything he can think of to take them away since becoming mayor. He’s a liberal POS that isn’t interested in the Constitution, unless it benefits his agenda or position, like a good little commie.

His resoning is all over the map, as well i.e. he doesn’t want profiling, except against white conservatives, and he is so worried about bombs that he wants to take away guns. That’s like a doctor cutting off your foot because you have a toothache.

He’s a moron, plain and simple. Kelly isn’t much smarter.

The “terror gap” is the new “gun show loophole.”

As others have mentioned from time to time, there is a direct correlation between the imposition of gun laws, and the rise of violent crime. In every case where gun laws are imposed, violent crime rises. Where guns are banned, crime becomes rampant.

The reverse is also true. Where gun laws are minimal or non-existent, violent crime all but disappears.

It is always interesting to me to note how, for every single problem facing America and it’s citizens, the answer is always EDUCATION! Except, of course, for guns, where the leftist’s answer is always CONFISCATION!

“In every case where gun laws are imposed, violent crime rises”. Exactly right, Tim. Chicago, D.C., San Fransicko, New York City, and for our overseas readers, Great Britain, Australia.
Yeah, “Confiscation” is the only answer, at least for socialists and liberals, but I repeat myself.

Think I’ll gussy up my AR 15 with their products…

“…I guess is the new code phrase for “gun control”. ”

I’ve been waiting for that one.

NHSparky

Hmmm…I gotta work this weekend. 24 hours of OT/DT. That should pay for an AR-15. Maybe I’ll head over to the local sporting goods store or over to Kittery later today to see what’s available. Any suggestions from ya’ll?

NH Sparky,
Just suggestions on the caliber:
.308, 6.8 SPC or 6.5 Grendel (there’s another name out for it now to get around the name copyrights).

Anything but .223 / 5.56 poodle-killer.

I think Jack is right when he says “terror gap” is the new “gun show loophole,” but he isn’t going far enough. If you go over to Huffington Post, it looks like the editors are adopting the line favored by a lot of their commenters. Anyone who opposes Bloomberg’s unconstitutional denial of rights without due process is said to “support letting terrorists buy guns.” That was the headline earlier in the day when two Republican Senators opposed the bill supported by Bloomberg: “GOP Senators SUPPORT letting terrorists buy guns.” Or did they all caps the noun “terrorists” instead of the verb this time? I don’t recall. Luckily, the measure hasn’t gotten much traction and has fallen “below the fold” even on their website.

Good God Allmighty the hits keep coming with these Power mad looney tunes. Orwell really was an optimist.

The terrorist got the blackpowder for the bomb from fireworks purchased in PA. Look for bloomingidiot to send undercover cops into pa to buy m-80’s then try and sue the firework makers.
