Joe Lieberman, reminding us why he isn&#8217;t really a conservative, called for a commission to investigate the relationship between video games and guns. Chuck Schumer, pictured above with a shit-eating grin and firing a Tech-9, called for a limit on magazine capacity. While Dianne <a href=\"http:\/\/newyork.cbslocal.com\/2012\/12\/16\/lawmakers-renew-call-to-restore-federal-assault-weapons-ban-following-newtown-school-massacre\/\">Feinstein renewed her promise<\/a> to reintroduce the 90s &#8220;Assault Weapons Ban&#8221;;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re crafting this one and it\u2019s going to be done with care, it\u2019ll be ready on the first day. I\u2019ll be announcing House authors and we\u2019ll be prepared to go. And I hope the nation will really help,\u201d she told NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet The Press.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein also said she is confident the bill will have the support of President Obama, who has previously come out in favor of re-implementing the assault weapons ban.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the politicians were flapping their gums, a shooter in California was busting caps in a mall parking lot, more than 50 rounds, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2012\/12\/16\/california-mall-on-lockdown-after-shots-were-fired\/\">according to reports<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Marcos Gurrola, 42, of Garden Grove was taken into custody by bicycle police officers patrolling around the open-air Fashion Island mall around 4:30 p.m., police spokeswoman Cathy Lowe said. She said he fired into the air and onto the ground in the parking lot near a Macy&#8217;s department store.<\/p>\n<p>No one was injured, but the gunfire caused panic, coming just a day after a gunman killed 26 children and adults at a Connecticut elementary school, and days after a deadly mall shooting in Oregon. Some of the shoppers in California on Saturday said they ran, screaming as they looked for a safe shelter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NeoefKm8evw\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how Mr. Gurrola could have been shooting all of those rounds, though. It seems that <a href=\"http:\/\/oag.ca.gov\/firearms\/sb23indx\">large capacity magazines have been illegal<\/a> in California since 2001. Well, not illegal to possess them, but it&#8217;s illegal to sell them or borrow them, so unless he&#8217;s owned it since 2001 just so he could bust a bunch of caps eleven years later in a parking lot, he got a hold of it illegally somehow.<\/p>\n<p>The Chicago Sun-Times is waging war on rifles that are .223 caliber judging by the number of times the author uses &#8220;.223 caliber rifle&#8221; in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suntimes.com\/news\/metro\/17017680-418\/assault-weapon-found-at-conn-shooting-seen-on-chicago-streets.html\">this article<\/a>. Just as a word of warning to the Sun-Times, there are handguns in .223 caliber, too. Thompson Center&#8217;s Contender comes to mind. <\/p>\n<p>And of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/newyork.cbslocal.com\/2012\/12\/16\/lawmakers-renew-call-to-restore-federal-assault-weapons-ban-following-newtown-school-massacre\/\">Nanny Bloomberg took time<\/a> time away from slapping babies&#8217; bottles out of their mouths to run his own suck about guns and leadership &#8211; both subjects he&#8217;s out of his depth on;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While Mayor Bloomberg said it is right for President Obama to console the grieving in Newtown, on the assault weapons ban he says it\u2019s time for the president to stand up and lead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis views on issues like this are the right views, but the president has to translate those views into action. His job is not just to be well-meaning, his job is to perform and to protect the American public,\u201d said Bloomberg on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet The Press.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, all the Feds can do is disarm law abiding Americans.
