[[File:barrel-shroud.jpg|thumb]]Carolyn McCarthy is a New York Donkeycrat and the one who tried to give us the [[Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007|2007 kick at the ban can]].  As you can see, she doesn't know what the hell she's talking about, but she sure is funny (and dyslexic, it turns out).

McCarthy got on the gun grab bandwagon after [[December 7]], [[1993]], when her husband was killed and her son was severely injured on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train at the Merillon Avenue station, when mass murderer, [[Colin Ferguson]], opened fire on random passengers (all of whom were disarmed for his convenience by local gun law).  Her first reaction to this was to '''sue fuckineverybody''' &mdash;  you name 'em, she sued'em.  She went after
* the [[Winchester|company]] that made the [[black talon|bullets]]
* the [[Ruger|company]] that made the [[Ruger P series|gun]]
* the company that made the magazine that was in the gun
* the Long Island Rail Road
* Bigfoot
* a midget

When she didn't get any big money from that, she decided to get into politics.

In 1996 she played the pity card and testified in a congressional hearing against a Republican measure to repeal the federal [[Assault Weapons Ban]].

She also got her panties in a bunch over [[Kirsten Gillibrand]] being a Senator for New York and was yammering about running against her in the 2010 Senatorial special election, because Gillibrand believed in people's rights and had a 100% good rating from the [[NRA]] (at the time).  After <s>what happened to the Dems</s> the Dems got the Great Butthurt from the special election in Massachusetts [[January 19]], she backed off.

==The list==
Some of the wackier stuff she's done so far is:
* '''1997:''' She sponsored a bill requiring trigger locks on everybody's guns.<ref>Barry, Dan (1997-06-22). "[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0DE1D6113FF931A15755C0A961958260&scp=98&sq=%22Carolyn+McCarthy%22&st=nytAn Icon Goes to Washington]". New York (behind the) Times.</ref>
* '''1997:''' She tried to to ban gun sales to tourists to the United States after [[1997 Empire State Building shooting|Ali Hassan Abu Kamal]] went nuts in the Empire State building.
* '''1997 again:''' (busy year) She opposed a Treasury bill provision that allowed importing weapons that were banned for sale in the U.S. at the time.
* '''1999:''' After Columbine, she submitted a bill demanding all firearms be "child-resistant" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean; maybe it's another shoulder thing that goes up) and to make it harder for young adults who follow the law to buy guns<ref>Bruni, Frank (1999-05-05). "[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A05EEDB123CF936A35756C0A96F958260&scp=146&sq=%22Carolyn+McCarthy%22&st=nyt Senate Looks for Clues on Youth Violence]". New York Times.</ref>  along with <s>fucking up</s> <s>regulating</s> fucking up [[gun shows]].<ref>Mitchell, Alison; Bruni, Frank (1999-06-17). "[http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=990CE1D9163BF934A25755C0A96F958260&scp=154&sq=%22Carolyn+McCarthy%22&st=nyt House Undertakes Days-Long Battle On Youth Violence]". New York Times again.</ref>
* [[File:BMG aircraft.jpg|thumb|Yep, happens all the time...]]'''2005:''' She tried to get [[bolt action]] [[.50 BMG|50 cal.]] rifles banned because ... (wait for it) ... "The .50 Caliber [[Sniper Rifle]] has the ability to shoot down aircraft" and "We must change our pre-9/11 gun laws to stop terrorists from legally obtaining '''weapons of mass destruction''' [huh?] like the .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle."<ref>Seriously, no shit!!  That's copied and pasted from her own website [http://carolynmccarthy.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=155&parentid=189&sectiontree=189,155&itemid=313 right here]. Exactly ''why'' "Caliber Sniper Rifle" kept getting capitalized is anybody's guess.</ref>  She finished it off with (not making this up) "Its time to '''listen to common sense''' and ban the .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle."
* '''2007:''' After the Assault Weapons Ban expired in September, she introduced the fundraiser bill<ref>Casteen, John T. (April 17, 2007). "[http://www.slate.com/id/2164373/ After Blacksburg]". Slate magazine.</ref>, the "[[Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2007]]" to bring it back (and ban 46 more models of guns) in [[February 2007]].  Read its own article to see just how bad that piece of crap was.
