Anybody But Moran


iconLiving where I live, it pains me to have a scumbag like Jim 'Blame the Jooos' Moran for a Congressman. I must be a conservative surrounded by a sea of liberals, for Moran to continue to be re-elected. After all, this is the man who even Marc Fisher of the Washington Post says should be a breeze to defeat:

Challenging Moran should be the easiest job in America. After all, this is the congressman who -- you'll need a deep breath to make it to the end of this sentence -- grabbed an 8-year-old boy in a parking lot because Moran thought the kid had threatened him; borrowed $25,000 from a drug company lobbyist five days before agreeing to co-sponsor a bill that would help that lobbyist's client; took a $447,000 loan from a credit company four days before signing on to legislation that the company was pushing; got into a shoving match on the House floor with one colleague; threatened to punch another congressman in the nose; and just last year told an audience that there'd be no war against Iraq without the support of the Jewish community. Whew.
But then, there is also his proud record of treading all over the Second Amendment. Moran's own web site brags about his anti-Second Amendment platform. It proudly boasts: "Jim Moran is a strong supporter of gun control... Jim has consistently received a 100% rating from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence." That should be enough for any gunowner to vote against him.

But if you still need more proof, Moran dubiously claims that letting the Clinton Gun Ban expire is tantamount to "allowing drug dealers, gang members and common criminals to have access to weapons whose only purpose is to cause mayhem and destruction." Oh really. Drug dealers and gang members are permitted to have guns now? That's news to me. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for stories of criminals using rifles with bayonet lugs and a flash hider to cause mayhem.

On .50 caliber target rifles, Moran claims:

These weapons -- accurate up to 2000 yards (the size of twenty football fields) -- are weapons of war developed to destroy armored personnel carriers and military aircraft. Amazingly, these weapons of war are sold to the public. It is advertised as being able to destroy commercial aircraft with a single hit. It can also be used to pierce petroleum tanks and rail cars.
You have to appreciate the gun grabbers attempts to have it both ways. They want to ban so-called "assault weapons" because they fire rapidly and indescriminately, and then they want to ban other rifles because they are super accurate. If you didn't know any better, you might start to think that their campaign is about banning all rifles and handguns, and not just about improving "gun safety".

You've heard of the ABB (Anybody But Bush) crowd. Well, I'm a member of the Anybody But Moran crowd.

You think you've got it bad? Tom DeLay is my Congressman...and yes, DeLay IS Evil Incarnate.

All I have to say is Feinstein/Boxer. At least I get to vote against the latter next month, futile though it will be.
Obligatory link, notable for the final quote:

Is that inclusive of the police?

The world record for a sniper is held by a Canadian shooting in Afganistan - 2430 meters, about 2660 yards.

The American record is 2500 yards - set in South Vietnam.

Moran is an idiot if he thinks "drug dealers, gang members and common criminals" are 80% as accurate at the best US Marine in the past 35 years.

Actually, he's an idiot no matter what he believes.

You mean crack dealers don't do drive by shootings from 2000 yards?
