Frank Lautenberg’s (D-N.J.) office is saying that he plans to reintroduce legislation that would curtail the ability of a shooter to fire at length without reloading.
“If reports are correct and a high-capacity gun magazine was used to commit these awful murders, Senator Lautenberg will absolutely renew his effort to limit the availability of this dangerous firearm attachment,” Lautenberg’s communications director Caley Gray told The Huffington Post.
Lautenberg, one of the most vocal gun control advocates in the Senate, introduced a bill to limit high-capacity magazines following the shooting of former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. The shooter in that instance fired his gun more than 30 times without having to reload. The bill went nowhere.
Early reports have suggested that the accused shooter in Aurora, James Holmes, also used a high-capacity magazine on his assault rifle. And that alone could breathe new political life into the New Jersey Democrat’s legislative hopes.
Gun Control Legislation: Frank Lautenberg Readies Bill In Wake Of Aurora Shooting
Get a brain, Frank. Watch this video. The only thing that would have stopped the Aurora scumbag was a CCW holder who was allowed to carry in the theatre.
One year ago this week a shooter in Norway killed almost 100 kids at a summer camp, because no one else was armed on the island.
Every responsible citizen should get a concealed carry license, and make sure that human garbage like Breivik and Holmes know that they will be put down in a matter of seconds.
