Congressional Democrat Supports National Gun Registry, Says ‘It Helps Us Find Them For You’

Came across the following yesterday on TheBlaze TV’s website.

Apparently, U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX, 18th) joined protesters outside the National Rifle Association national conference in Houston, where she told TheBlaze the following as it concerns a national registry of firearms:

JACKSON LEE: Registering your guns- people think that’s something sinister. But it helps you from protecting your guns when they’re stolen. It helps us find them for you, like registering your car
THEBLAZE: So would you support- if a senator brought forth a registration bill- would you support a national registry?
JACKSON LEE: I would.

Concerning the protesters outside the NRA conference, I read the following on the Massad Ayoob on Guns blog on the Backwoods Home Magazine website. Ayoob, a captain with the Grantham (New Hampshire) Police Department and an internationally-known firearms and self-defense instructor, blogged Friday:

70,000 NRA members are expected to be in attendance before the three-day event is done, and according to reports, only about six anti-gun people showed up to protest. I’m told that they stood on a sidewalk, reading aloud the names of murder victims.

I’m not sure what they thought that had to do with 70,000 Americans who arm themselves against the sort of criminals who commit murder, and fight for the right of other law-abiding citizens to also be able to defend themselves against murderers. I doubt that the six protesters could have explained it coherently, themselves.

Classic Mas.

Anyway, as the Congresswoman’s statements reveal, the push for more gun “control” is still alive and well these days.
