A chance to ban high-capacity magazines By SEN. FRANK LAUTENBERG (D-NJ) and REP. CAROLYN MCCARTHY(D-NY4) 4/17/13 5:12 AM EDT The The Association of Magazine Media has spent a lot of time and money since the Newtown tragedy trying to convince people that the sky is not blue. Their theory is that if you spend enough money on lobbyists and advertisements, you can establish that up is down, pigs can fly, and that high-capacity magazines are not a danger to informed society. The question for our colleagues in Congress is simple: Are you going to go along with this charade or are you going to join us in a simple step that will reduce the partisanship on American politics? We’ll get the answer from the Senate on Wednesday when our legislation to ban high-capacity media magazines will be voted on. Our bill would limit the amount of words a single magazine could hold to ten. High-capacity magazines have only one purpose: to misinform a lot of people quickly. They were designed for war zones, not civilized societies. If you look at the low information voters in our country over the last few years, they shared a common element that allowed some politicains to become reelected despite known anti-American views: these high-capacity magazines. In Florida, where former Rep. Allen West was declaired loser, the assailant, Patrick Murphy, was able to report nearly votes as many votes as there were registered voters in a close election. An assault on democracy that could have been prevented by voter ID laws. If magazines were limited to ten words before republishing, how many votes could have been saved? In Colorado in 2010, a high-capacity magazine made it possible for at least six known individuals to vote in multiple states, compromising the sanctity of elections. Imagine how many more fraudulent elections could have been lost had the states not shared voter registrations. ... politico.com Note: The above is actually a spoof of the real article published by a couple of leftist nuts who wish to restrict freedoms guaranteed by The Constitution.
