You can never have enough guns

Even I can’t believe this one. Now that the right wing has got their assault weapons back, they’re off and running. Read this:

A majority of the U.S. House of Representatives is supporting legislation that would repeal virtually all of the District’s gun restrictions, targeting one of the nation’s most stringent handgun bans while the presidential candidates are battling over gun limits.

Rep. Mark Edward Souder (R-Ind.) said House Republican leaders have promised him a vote before the Nov. 2 election on his proposed D.C. Personal Protection Act, which would end a ban on handguns in the nation’s capital; remove a prohibition against semiautomatic weapons; lift registration requirements for ammunition and other firearms; and cancel criminal penalties for possessing unregistered firearms and carrying a handgun in one’s home or workplace.

Souder’s bill also would deny the District’s elected officials “authority to enact laws or regulations that discourage or eliminate the private ownership or use of firearms.” The legislation has 228 co-sponsors, more than enough to clear the 435-member House.

Not only is this action reprehensible — one obnoxious congressman once again stepping all over the residents of DC — but take a look at what analogy he uses to support his reasoning:

Souder, who lives in Northern Virginia when Congress is in session, said his proposal is based on the Second Amendment’s guarantee of gun rights. “This is a constitutional issue, not a home rule question,” Souder said. “The fact is, we didn’t allow the District to have home rule on the selling of slaves, either.”

Send this bastard back to Indiana.

Does anyone need any further evidence that the Republicans are the party of murder, mayhem, and death? That their goal is to put guns in every home in America, from small handguns to huge death-spewing automatic weapons?
Why would you vote for a party that encourages the selling of deadly weapons?
