Kerry Criticizes Bush for Not Doing Kerry's Job

John Kerry criticized George Bush today for not extending the assault-weapons ban.

George Bush had said if the US Congress passed an extention, he would sign it. Congress didn’t.

But the President can only sign legislation, not introduce it. So why didn’t John Kerry introduce legislation to extend the weapons ban if he felt so strongly about it?

Could it be that maybe he doesn’t know how? After 20 years in the Senate, very few bills bear his name. Or could it be that he’s missed 90% of the votes this year and isn’t actively a part of the Senate?

I think Kerry ought to launch a stinging attack on himself for failing to do his own job. And wasn’t it just last week John Kerry was touting how much he was in favor of preserving Second Amendment rights to bear arms?

    This quote cracks me up: “And so tomorrow, for the first time in 10 years,” he added, “when a killer walks into a gun shop, when a terrorist goes to a gun show somewhere in America, when they want to purchase an AK-47 or some other military assault weapon, they’re going to hear one word: sure.”

    I can’t believe all the people that are up in arms over this ban expiring, do they not realize that it was mostly a cosmetic law that banned almost NOTHING outright. Most manufacturers simply modified their firearms to remove features that were banned, like a bayonet lug for attaching a bayonet. I’ve got a post-ban Chinese Mak90 (AK47 clone) right here… biggest change, they ground off the bayonet lug. Boy I feel safer, just think of all the times you’ve read about criminals bayoneting their victims.

    Why aren’t there term limits in the Senate? If after all this time the Senator didn’t know how to introduce… Oh, wait! He probably just forgot how to get there; it’s been quite some time since he actually did his job, ya know… urgh.

    I suspect they would have kicked him out of the Senate, but nobody knew he was there. 😛

    When it comes to banning things like the AK-47, I’m of mixed feelings… but one thing I’m certain of: congress shouldn’t be able to pass a law to do so. It’s constitutional right, and therefore shouldn’t be able to be changed without a constitutional amendment.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
