Next Time Just Keep Your Mouth Shut
Pro-2A NY Senator
Gillibrand removes guns from under bed
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has moved the two rifles that she kept under the bed to protect her upstate New York home, her spokesman said Monday.
“Given that the location of the guns has been disclosed, they have been moved for security reasons,” Gillibrand’s spokesman Matt Canter said. She relocated the guns over the weekend while upstate to endorse Democrat Scott Murphy in the March 31 election to replace her in the 20th District, he said. He also said Gillibrand, mother of a 5-year-old and an infant, kept the ammunition separate from the empty guns, and then later called to add that the rifles were locked in a case while stored under the bed. She had refused to describe her gun safety measures.
Gun-control activists questioned the safety of placing guns under a bed where children can find them and burglars look first. The National Rifle Association said it is up to gun owners to safely store weapons.
Gillibrand disclosed she had guns under her bed in an interview with Newsday last Thursday. A Newsday story on the interview ran Monday, prompting reactions by advocates for gun rights and gun control.
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola), a gun-control activist ... added, ”I hope the guns didn’t have bullets in them.”
Gillibrand also has not replied to requests for a meeting by New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, said the group’s executive director, Jackie Hilly.
As a result, Hilly said, the group will hold a rally on New York’s City Hall steps Thursday to urge Gillibrand to work to pass three gun control bills. It will feature Lois Schaffer, a Great Neck woman whose daughter was shot and killed in her St. Louis home last December by teens with a stolen gun.
“I am very upset about the whole thing,” said Joyce Gorycki of Mineola, widow of a Long Island Rail Road official killed in the 1993 train shooting and co-chair of Long Island’s New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. “I don’t know why she needs two rifles.”
Way to go Kathy. Next time, take the Fred Thompson approach: it ain’t none of their damn business. They played Gotcha! on your naive upstate ass but good.
And now Gillibrand will be plagued by the professional hand-wringing extortionists. The untouchable victim squad who can never be doubted. The Cindy Sheehans of the movement, with their “unimpeachable moral high ground”. Bullshit; Ann Coulter was 100% correct. Communists, every single one of them. “You must support our bill, or we’ll come and ooze at you forever! Our husband’s deaths are your fault because it’s people like you who bought these things which were stolen and then used to kill!!!”
Where the hell is that reset button graphic?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
- Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
- Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
- Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
- Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
