Do you hear the drumbeat? The growing clamor from those who hate the Second Amendment and think your rights are what's wrong? It's unmistakable, undeniable, and growing louder as anti-gun politicians and media elites are chumming the waters to try and gain support for every gun-control scheme they can imagine. Gun bans, national registration and licensing, ammunition bans and taxes. The list keeps growing. Now comes New York Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy ... one of the most anti-gun politicians in the country ... vowing to introduce a stream of gun-control bills within weeks. "In the coming weeks and months, I will be introducing several pieces of legislation to address the rising gun violence in our country," McCarthy said in a statement released from her office. As if another McCarthy gun law or two against the law-abiding would have any effect at all on the armed violent criminals who roam our streets. It's ridiculous. But McCarthy went on to say, "We can and must pass common-sense gun legislation to keep guns off our streets." The problem with Carolyn McCarthy is that she won't admit what every NRA member and most Americans know. You can't reduce violence by passing another law to be ignored by criminals who remain free ... you reduce violence by taking the bad guys off our streets. It's just that plain and simple. Enforcement works. McCarthy's plans can't, and never will.
