A former mayoral candidate in Tucson, Ariz., is drawing heated criticism from Democrats after he launched a program this week to hand out free shotguns in high-crime neighborhoods.

Well, it seems it's perfectly ok for Joe 'Smokin Gun' Biden to proclaim: "Get a shotgun", but when it's suggested they actually be handed out to people in Texas and Arizona, where they are needed in some neighbourhoods, the elites are getting all huffy and puffy:

Quote:

State Rep. Victoria Steele, who represents Tucson, called the program plain lunacy.

Quote:

Arizonans in Tucson and across the state are demanding that we reduce gun violence and create safer communities. Handing out shotguns is not a solution," she said in a written statement.

Quote:

House Minority Leader Chad Campbell called it "ideological extremism at its worst" and a political gimmick that could have dangerous consequences.

The article is sourced from here

This idea came from the Armed Citizen Project, in a nutshell, handing out guns to citizens in high-crime neighbourhoods and studying the effect.

Guns for Votes? Hell yea.

Maybe they should make gun ownership compulsory for welfare claimants...

Hey if the Vice President, speaking in the name of the President of the United States says to get a shotgun then how can anyone argue?

I want one. Will they be checking ID or is a Texas accent enough

I saw what you did there.

Suddenly Ice Cube's song "they give us guns and drugs then wonder why the <censored> we're thugs" comes to mind.

I doubt such a move will make the communities safer, but I'm sure it will increase the body count a fair amount.

Is it really going to happen?

Probably the guy just wants to pull a Marilyn Manson

Not without a drug test first.

A proliferation of guns in a town just 70 miles away from the Mexican border and the Sinaloas. Sounds like a fine idea.

Yeah because you wouldn't want the citizenry to have an opportunity to defend themselves right?

Following link outlines the majority of the new Connecticut Gun Law Package, ie Bill.

http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/BA/2013SB-01160-R00-BA.htm

If, or more than likely when this takes effect on July 1, 2013, it will make Connecticut one of the worst states in the nation.
There's a lot of gun-related companies there: Colt, Winchester, Marlin (which recently shut down after 141 years of operation in Connecticut), Mossberg, Sturm-Ruger, H&R, Stag Arms, A.H. Fox, US Fire Arms, Wildey, Shelton Ammunition, Okay Industries, Ronan/NHMTG, C-Products, Mec-Gar, G.T.B, amongst others.

Where will they go? Gun-friendly states like Texas or Arizona?

I'm sure criminals will agree to abide by all the new laws and regulations.
