The depositions taken at this ‘hearing’ were scripted by the Brady Campaign. They all used the exact same talking points that were contained in a truly ridiculous presser sent out by Paul Helmke claiming that children would be walking around w/ machineguns and armed vehicles would be prowling the streets.

I work for a school district in an alternative school. I know my job would be easier if we could suspend our students 1st and 4th amendment rights. The district does not have that luxury. Washington D. C. should not have that kind of luxury regarding the 2nd amendment. The cops in D. C. need to learn to do their jobs the way cops in other big cities do.

As a Jewess in the US, may I remind everyone that America wasn’t won with a registered gun? And that criminals are stopped by FIREARMS, not by talk? That is why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!

I see they rounded up all the usual sycophants, in order that they all ’sing in unison.’

The remark:
“All espoused the same view: guns are dangerous and would make their work harder.”

Harder than what?

Than now? What about all the other city cops everyplace else?

And then there’s this little gem:
—————
“She described a common motorcade attack plan, in which small arms are used to take out security personnel, bringing the motorcade to a stop, after which explosives can be used against the car carrying the VIP. Loosening DC’s gun laws, she implied, would make this attack more likely.”
—————
What the hell has >SHE< been smoking?

Are we suppose to believe that D.C.’s gun laws have ~stopped~ such a thing from happening in the past?!?!?!

WHAT’S MORE: If that ragged scenario above were to happen, it WOULD happen all with —or without— the gun-control laws they now have.

And —MORE IMPORTANTLY— is this: She is equating the law-abiding citizens of the city to criminals in waiting.

I guess it’s true what’s said about most public officials: Liars, cheats, thieves and murderers.

Please, you mean they may actually have to work a little, lol.

Just think, all the crimes they are doing nothing about now may actually become smaller, then they won’t be able to say they need all that money they get to do nothing. The above poster got it right, criminals don’t give to shakes about whether it is legal or not, that is why they are criminals – DUH!

They are just pissed they are having to give up a little bit of that control they so desperately love. We the People, have the power Cathy and the rest of you power-mad politicians, not you the politicians.

I say it is time to take back more of our Constitutional rights, by force if we have to!

Get real, Cathy. Terrorists who want to take out a dignitary motorcade are not going to be deterred by a law against guns.

Can you imagine how stupid Cathy must think we are? Picture one terrorist saying to another “You can’t kill them with a semi-automatic, because they are illegal in DC”.
