I’m kidding, of course. Democrats ignore laws that they don’t like, and, as typical in government, want massive new regulations due to one incident in typical over-reaction
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that he is penning a letter to President Obama asking him to close one of the gun-control loopholes that may have contributed to last weekend’s shooting at a meet-and-greet in Tucson, Ariz.
Loughner had tried to get into the Army, but was denied for “excessive” drug use.
That, Schumer said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” should have prevented Loughner from legally buying the Glock pistol allegedly used in the shooting rampage.
But the Army was not required to notify the FBI of the “excessive drug use” rejection, which would have let law enforcement add his name to the database that would show up when checking a customer purchasing a gun.
While more serious, this is how we end up with laws that make it illegal to carry an ice cream cone in you back pocket on Sundays, slippers can’t be worn after 10pm, and, yeah, the penalty for jumping off a building is death.
