My thoughts on the retirement of Representative Barrel Shroud

Posted on January 8, 2014 by | 4 Comments

So I hear that Representative Carolyn McCarthy is retiring.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) announced today that she would not be seeking re-election after serving nine terms in the US House of Representatives. McCarthy, who made her name by pushing gun control bills in Congress, has lung cancer and has been undergoing treatment for the last six months.

Well, let me be the first to wish for her eventual recovery. Many times people on the Left post ill-considered wishes for the deaths of their political enemies. Rest assured that Ms. McCarthy has my best wishes for a very long, long, long life. I want her to have to live through us demolishing the unconstitutional and wrongheaded gun control laws she worked so hard to prop up. When we are all free to open carry AR-15s in Central Park, NYC, I want her alive to see it.

I once got Representative McCarthy to send me a campaign sticker. Somehow both the bumper sticker and some 230gr. +P HydroShok bullets ended up at the range at the same time. This seems like a good time to re-post it.

It was time to rotate the carry ammo anyway.

Goodbye. Good riddance. Get well.

    I won’t be missing her either. Now on to Chuck Schumer.

    Leaving after 9 terms. Another example of a politician that has been living in the DC bubble too long. Along with Schumer, hopefully Feinstein, Pelosi and Reed will be next.

    Lung cancer. If there was anything that would make me feel sorry for her it would be those two words.
