This US Senator thinks differently
Scarry stuff
"One poignant exchange was as follows:
Schakowsky: Were on a roll now, and I think weve got to take the--you know, were gonna push as hard as we can and as far as we can.
Mattera: So the assault weapons ban is just the beginning?
Schakowsky: Oh absolutely. I mean, Im against handguns. We have, in Illinois, the Council Against Handgun... something [Violence]. Yeah, Im a member of that. So, absolutely.
In another exchange, Schakowsky proposed allowances for states and municipalities to ban guns--though such laws have been repeatedly rejected by the Supreme Court:
Mattera: Well never get a handgun ban with the Second Amendment as stated.
Schakowsky: I dont know. I dont know that we cant. And there may be an allowance, once again, for communities--I have communities in my district that prohibited handguns within their borders. The rights of municipalities and states to view that as a sensible way to keep people safe--I dont think its precluded."
