An Exercise in Futility - NY Has Tentative Deal on Gun Control

[miles]

People familiar with the internal negotiations say New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and legislative leaders have a tentative deal to enact the nation's first gun control measure following the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

The tentative agreement would further restrict New York's ban on assault weapons and limit the size of magazines to seven bullets, rather than the current 10. Other elements, pushed by Republicans, would refine a mental health law that allows for civil confinement of people determined to be a threat to others.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal had not been discussed among rank and file legislators. They say the tentative deal struck over the weekend will be debated behind closed doors Monday in the Senate and Assembly.

If the deal survives as expected, a bill could be presented this week.

BFD....so a nutbag can carry several 7 round magazines and be just as deadly. Classic feel-good, do-nothing legisation.

Notice how Obama has made sure that follow-up questions cannot be heard by the public?

I heard them.

Most bullshit about "the wealthiest Americans." More bullshit about congressional Republicans...yawn...fucking big bullshitter.

Congress orders the President to spend and none of it happens without the blessing of Republicans. Another inconvenient truth for conservative debt ceiling idiots. What did you think about that part?

Democrats will not be satisfied until all Americans are chained to walls in gulags eating nothing but the thinnest of gruels and provided nothing but leaches for healthcare.

And no microphones. NO ONE MAY HAVE A MICROPHONE AFTER THE FIRST QUESTION.

I switched two channels, the follow-ups were very hard to hear, I suspect the microphones had been taken away. There's no other reason why you hear the first loud and clear, and the second as a voice without a microphone.

I heard all voices loud and clear on SiriusXM POTUS. I'm sure you can find a transcript online any minute now. There's no need to see another conspiracy in this bro.

This cannot be allowed! The 73rd amendment to the Constitution specifically says all Americans have the right to have their voice amplified.

You left out the MORON.

There is no way that the framers intended multiple questions when this Amendment was written. At the time, microphones could take one question and then had to be reloaded.

This is the fault of the National Amplification Association.

You can if such a person sneezes on it.

Dumb fuck.

I am sorry to have disturbed your little pity party with light-hearted humor.

You know, if you serve some nice oatmeal cookies for refreshments, it'll help keep you geezers regular. Y'all might be a little less grumpy.

Sorry about that.

I thought you were better at shooting prairie dogs as they popped out of their holes in the ground.
