WASHINGTON — Newtown activists on Thursday helped introduce the first gun safety bill in this Congress, officially kicking off the gun control debate on Capitol Hill.
The bill would ban large capacity ammunition clips for everyone but military members and law enforcement officers. It was introduced by Rep. Elizabeth Esty, D-5th District, in the House and Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., in the Senate.
The bill’s proponents characterized the legislation as a needed safety measure, like seat belts or airbags, that would save lives, not only those threatened by a mass murderer, but also police who are often outgunned by criminals.
“This year is the first year in U.S. history that gun deaths will exceed car deaths,” Esty said. “We should be ashamed.”

That’s gotta be a record for the number of lies told in two sentences.
The police are outgunned by criminals bullshit stopped being relevant a couple decades ago-and it was a lie back then.
Gun deaths going to exceed car deaths? Not this year,or next year,or the year after-someone needs to inform these morons that gun deaths have been declining for about 40 years now.
What’s a large capacity ammunition clip?
The rest of the article contains similar asshattery from the anti-gun zealots…the stupid-it burns…
The anti-gun zealots are going to keep pushing this shit-more and more-they know obola’s gone in two years,and their best chance is while he’s still in office.
Time to start malling and e-mailing senators and congresscritters-put a stop to this idiocy now.
