Laura Ingraham Calls Out GOP Rep. Over His Strict Gun Law Proposal

Rep. Peter King (R-NY), the GOP congressman who’s proposing a new law restricting anyone with a gun from coming within 1,000 feet of a federal official (Rep, Senator, or Judge), appeared on Laura Ingraham’s radio show Thursday to defend his proposal. During the exchange, King admitted the law isn’t really to prevent lawbreakers — they will break the law anyway — but to give police an excuse to take a gun away from anyone who they deem suspicious that’s within a close proximity to an official.
“I‘m not saying that a person’s going to follow the law, but I’m saying it gives the police an extra weapon themselves to use,” he said. “They would have the right to take the weapon from the person.”
According to King, he’s also hoping police will be trained to detect suspicious “behavioral traits,” which will prevent non-threatening people from being targeted.
The conversation over the gun law takes place from about 1:40 to about 6:30 below:
The rest of the interview is also interesting. According to King, he thinks that if Loughner was a Muslim, the media’s response would have been completely different. King is the Rep. who has called for hearings on radical Islam. That comes at about 11:00.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 9:10amBut it is not a license for everyone to be able to carry any type of firearm, anywhere they want to, any time they want to. We are not the Old West and we can not go back to the days of the gun slingers. We are the only developed country that has mass murders where one or two shooters take out a large number of people at one time. Why is this? You don’t see incidents in other countries where a person goes into a workplace and kills 10 to 20 people because he has been fired or because people make fun of him or because the voices in his head tells him to. http://wp.me/pYLB7-w1

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 9:33am“But it is not a license for everyone to be able to carry any type of firearm, anywhere they want to, any time they want to. ”
Yes, in fact, it is.
“We are not the Old West and we can not go back to the days of the gun slingers. ”
We could only be so lucky. The Old West was almost crime free. The few incidents that occurred, we know about by name still even today, that’s how rare violence was there. Your version of the Old West comes directly from Hollywood, not from reality.
“We are the only developed country that has mass murders where one or two shooters take out a large number of people at one time.”
False
“Why is this? You don’t see incidents in other countries where a person goes into a workplace and kills 10 to 20 people because he has been fired or because people make fun of him or because the voices in his head tells him to.”

Rights are not a concept for the weak of heart. If freedom scares people, they are under no obligation to participate. But they cannot demand that others give up their freedom.
If you calculate the actual number of “events” like this against the number of people in this nation, the percentages of this happening are in the millionths of one percent. Don’t buy into the fear.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 10:26amThe genius of the founding fathers was that they wrote the Constitution in a manner that the common man of the day could read it and understand it. The common man then had something never before seen in history; a binding contract with his government. The Constitution comes as-is, no interpretation and no guesswork needed.
The failing of modern education and many modern Americans is that they have no clue about what the Constitution says.
When the founders wrote, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” they meant exactly that. CONGRESS shall make no law… The 1st Amendment was never intended to bar states or local governments from setting up manger displays around Christmas. Congress was forbidden from inserting itself.
Now, when it comes to the Second Amendment, it’s completely different.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
No mention of Congress, no mention of states, no mention of local governments. Just an inescapable wording that say “shall not be infringed”. Pretty simple. The problem is we have become so accustomed to having lawyers mangle the language, and then those with an agended then claim that unless we are lawyers or scholars we can never hope to understand the meaning behind clear writing, that we buy into what others tell us something means when the evidence of our own eyes tells us different.
The Second Amendment is perfectly understandable to anyone with a basic education in the english language.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 9:04amWhat about focusing on the state-level…….of mandatory mental health services….for anyone who terrorizes a community….like Jared Loughner…….no matter whether the parents work for the county, state, Governor or president.
Also mental health evaluations for parents …..of people like Jared Loughner….and law enforcement authorities….like Sheriff Dupnick….who fix charges….for people like Loughner…..constantly giving him a free pass for his on-going criminal behavior…..that enables him to buy a gun and ammunition….to escalate his criminal behavior to go on a killing spree.
Focusing on people fixing charges….dismissing or failing to bring charges……against thugs and “harmless” people terrorizing a community…..is more appropriate…..than placing more restrictions on law-abiding citizens…..needing to protect and defend themselves……when law enforcement authorities fail to perform their jobs to protect the community….because a perpetrator and/or his family is politically connected.
Loughner’s killing spree could have been prevented….if Sheriff Dupnick had not corrupted the law enforcement procedures and convinced his previous victims…that it was of no use to file charges against him….bc his mother works for Pima County.
Loughner should step down….resign on his own…..or face a petition for recall……AND a Grand Jury review of corruption in Pima County……directly involving Sheriff Dupnick.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 8:48amThe Patriot Post a few days ago said it better than I.Thomas Jefferson citing Casar Beccaria–On crimes and Punishment– “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms …disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.Such laws make things worse for the assaulted,and better for the assailants.They serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides– for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” One can also read what Freud said of gun ownership ,1931 – How those who insist mere possession of a gun would incline one to use it. How such talk says more about the person making the claim than it does about the gun owner. ” I believe a story has come out that it was a responsible gun owner who waited until the killer was reloading -and did not use the gun he was carrying when innocents could have been harmed in the defense.?

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 9:27amThe “never let a crisis go to waste” mantra is used because our lawmakers cannot pass laws based on the law’s merits.

The nasty curse of Progressivism has creeped into both parties…..they both feel that “control” is better than self-reliance and the free-will of American citizens. Our beloved leaders know where they want to take us….they just don’t know how to get us there without our knowledge and consent. This is when a “crisis” becomes invaluable to them. There are some in Congress who get it but they are in the minority. We need to VOTE the majority out of office until we have a truly representative government. It is our DUTY as citizens.

“@Ghost… guaranteed high maintenance.”
Well, maybe.
High maintenance women have always struck me as women wanting to dominate their man. That’s why they make their demands, throw their fits and are always attempting to manipulate. I’ve found that the best way to deal with that kind of thing is to calmly say “no” and let her pout, and when she tries a different tactic, calmly say “no” again. Rinse lather repeat, as long as it is only for the unreasonable or “maintenance” demands. When she comes around to reason, she stops being high maintenance. If she doesn’t come around to reason, she leaves. Either way, you win.
I’ve also discovered that pretty does not necessarily equal high maintenance. Sometimes guys are so afraid of dealing with a pretty woman that the pretty woman is often the most lonely woman in the room (even if she is surrounded by other women and gabbing, she has no guys brave enough to approach).
It is my theory that there were very few high maintenance women prior to the 20th century. The less men act like men however, the more you’ll find high maintenance women popping up. I expect the trend to get worse.
This is of course, a tangent from the thread. :)

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 11:11amIf a person is willing to kill are they really going to worry about this law? NO!! This will be another meaningless law.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 11:25amThis is like the SCOTUS saying that police can enter a home if they suspect that evidence may be flushed, as in Pot. So, I suspect that they will start smelling POT everywhere and will not need to bother with those pesky warrants or the 4th. Unfortunately, several of the Conservatives sided with this opinion.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 11:27amIf your job is creating laws, rules and regulations (that you don’t need to follow, buy the way) EVERYTHING MUST be solved with a NEW law. I think that is called job security?

Laura Ingraham in NOT a fraud.
The quotes you list from “Rome” are NOT DOGMA. As a practicing Catholic, you can agree or disagree with these viewpoints. And I doubt seriously that Ms. Ingraham needs rescuing when it comes to verbally battling anyone, much less this loser. Why do you constantly pick on Catholicism? There are many other religions that are hypocritical and/or disingenuous.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 12:43pmthat pic of Laura is really hot. oops, typing out loud again, my bad. there’s your stupid comment. here’s my not so stupid comment:
the last thing we need is more laws that have little meaning. i dont want police doing the tsa special, patting down and groping the masses that come near a politician…politicians should not be viewed as demigods…this incident should not be the impetus for another dumb law…and the proposal is unenforceable. There are so many things wrong with it, that i would be writing forever to list them all. Another great example of how stupid politicians are. If I had my way, id replace congress, the whitehouse, and the senators with a room full of reeses monkeys.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 12:53pmI don’t recall hearing about ANY police officers being present at the time of the shooting. So even if there was the all important LAW, their was no one to inforce it and nothing would have turned out any diferently?
One more time. “GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE!”

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 1:06pmThese fools need to stop treating our Constitutional liberty as anything other than sacred. To do anything other is inviting trouble as we who love the law of the land will not put up with lawlessness in our elected representatives. They were elected to up hold our laws and swore under oath to do so. Anything less borders on Treason and carries a heavy punishment. I call up on you the representatives of this Country to repent of your crimes against the Constitution and Americans every where. To do your duty and not shirk it. This is the only way we can live in harmony. If you continue in the current direction of lawlessness we the American people will have to arrest you and try you for high crimes. It could get ugly for you, fools. Thanks

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 2:43pmLet me know when Laura (or King for that matter) will point out that, here in Illinois, police ALREADY HAVE the “right” (OMG) to take a firearm from a person no matter where they are unless they are on their own property or where they have express permission from the owner.
There is NO CARRY whatsoever here in Illinois. not concealed, not open and not loaded for sure. Do so and you are a felon, period. There is no way to lawfully or legally exercise the right to bear arms here in Illinois. In your car you ask? Sure, unloaded and fully enclosed in a case. On your person? Fat chance! Felony unlawful use of a weapon charges are in your immediate future if you dare exercise your right.
What say you Laura? Glenn? Sean? Mark? Any of you? Not a word. Tom Delay – should we accept a license to pray and speak too? It is left to the police here in Illinois, entirely, Rep, King. How is that working out in Chicago? Oh yeah, up to 50 shootings in a weekend’s time. You don;t see the harm Re. King? Come to Illinois where none of us can exercise our rights.
I‘m surprised you didn’t mention the status of this here in Illinois Rick.

Posted on January 14, 2011 at 5:51pm@BeckIsNuts: I couldn’t agree more.
Oh, by the way, I don’t think your nuts. At times I don’t agree with everything you say, but not often.
I read many of the posts on here and don’t post much myself. It seems to me that conservatives are just as detestable in their comments as the liberals. It makes me not even want to admit that I’m a conservative.
Our country is torn apart as it is. How does being unkind to others on this site help make things better? It doesn’t. I’m a Bible believing Christian and find it very sad reading so many vicious comments.
If someone is a troll, there is no need to be hateful to that person. I’ve never seen anyone won to Christ by being hateful to them. I may not agree with what they say, do or how they live, but I’m not their judge, God is. Also, when I start to judge others and point a finger at them, I notice that I have three fingers pointing right back at me and a thumb that would, if it could.

Posted on January 16, 2011 at 12:31amWouldn’t the Police acting merely on someones “behavior” be considered profiling? I thought Profiling was taboo? Or is it taboo unless it involves a government official?
