Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) plan to introduce a new gun control bill on July 15th. <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roman_calendar#Months\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">According to the ancient Roman calendar<\/a>, the 15th of July &#8211; just like the 15th of March &#8211; is the Ides of the month.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>U.S. Representatives Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY), Elijah E. Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) will join other members and a leading law enforcement organization for an event Friday, July 15th, 11:00 a.m. at the House Triangle to introduce the \u201cStop Gun Trafficking and Strengthen Law Enforcement Act,\u201d which establishes a dedicated firearms trafficking statute to empower law enforcement to keep high-powered firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals, including Mexican drug cartels. <\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Frankly, other than getting glowing tributes from the opinion pages of the New York Times and the Washington Post, I don&#8217;t see much of a future for this legislation. It will gain a quick handful of Democrats as co-sponsors and then languish in committee just like Carolyn McCarthy&#8217;s HR 308.<\/p>\n<p>As Katie notes,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>So let me get this straight, democrats want to punish law abiding Americans and impede on Second Amendment rights with new legislation &#8220;to prevent gun trafficking to Mexico,&#8221; however, aren&#8217;t willing to focus on the ATF and DOJ&#8217;s role in deliberately putting high powered firearms into the hands of criminals including Mexican drug cartels?<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2011\/07\/need-more-proof.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Katie was the one who broke the story yesterday<\/a> on the email from Assistant Director for Operations Mark Chait to Bill Newell which suggests that one aim of Project Gunwalker was to build support for the multiple-rifle reporting requirement.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katie Pavlich of Townhall.com who has been done really good reporting lately on Project Gunwalker posted that Rep.
