Boehner Opposed New Gun Legislation
GW: The predictable backlash from gun grabbers has begun. Too bad they are outnumbered in the U.S. House where laws originate. There’s no stomach for it; elections have consequences…
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is rejecting gun-banning legislation offered by the chairman of the Homeland Security Committee in response to last weekend’s shootings of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and 19 others in Arizona.
Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) announced plans Tuesday to introduce legislation prohibiting people from carrying guns within 1,000 feet of members of Congress.
GW: Why not just make the 1000 feet a 1000 miles? That’d be a lot safer, huh?
