Someone forgot to tell killers that murder is against the law

April 8, 2009

More good writing from an Examiner author!

Credit all of the state legislatures around the country that made it a crime to murder people. This has been the situation in this country even before we were a country, so the laws against murder are not new, and could not possibly have been overlooked by killers, no matter who they are.

Support for Gun Control Laws at All Time Lows

April 8, 2009

Well imagine that? Why could this be? Perhaps because even many democrats don’t trust the imposter in chief and his administration?

In Gallup polling conducted prior to last week’s gun massacre at an immigrant center in Binghamton, N.Y., only 29% of Americans said the possession of handguns by private citizens should be banned in the United States. While similar to the 30% recorded in 2007, the latest reading is the smallest percentage favoring a handgun ban since Gallup first polled on this nearly 50 years ago.

If He Can Make It Here, He Could Make It Anywhere!

Okay folks, I don’t know how on earth this slipped past me, but better late then never I suppose, and yes, the NRA should have proof read this before posting it. SOURCE

For those of you who don’t closely follow local politics in Manhattan, Richard Aborn, former president of then-Handgun Control, Inc. (now Brady Center) is running for Manhattan DA, and he has secured some endorsements for his race based in large part on his support for gun control.

Former New York City Police Department and current Los Angeles police commissioner Bill Bratton blessed Aborn’s race, noting their working relationship on, among other items, the Brady bill. Bratton also cited Aborn’s work with Mayor Bloomberg on “meaningful gun control and regulation.”

Aborn was also endorsed by NY Assemblyman Danny O’Donnell, brother of the well-known, shrill, anti-gun crusader, Rosie O’Donnell. Danny O’Donnell cited the following in issuing his endorsement:

“When it comes to which person will crack down on crime while protecting civil liberties and defending progressive values, there is no one more qualified for Manhattan D.A. than Richard Aborn. Whether it’s taking on the NRA on guns, investigating police misconduct, or ensuring equal access to justice, Richard has shown he never backs down from a fight. He will bring his deep commitment to justice to the office of District Attorney.”

Someone needs to educate Assemblyman O’Donnell that “protecting civil liberties” while whittling away the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans are mutually exclusive.

And finally, from Aborn’s own campaign site, he lists these bona fides:

GUN CONTROL LEADER

  • President, Handgun Control, Inc. (now the Brady Campaign), 1992-1996
  • Principal strategist behind passage of the Brady Bill, the national assault weapons ban, and the ban on large volume clips
  • Board member, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence,
    and Harlem Mothers SAVE

Enough said.
