In my view thats a military purpose. The lawmakers say the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School show that assault weapons need to be banned. A number of the police who came to newtown said to me we could not have stopped that shooter. Even with the body armor we were wearing with that kind of assault weapon. But Vice President biden downplayed the need for an asalts weapons ban thursday. He said those weapons are only used in a small percentage of crimes. Im much less concerned, quite frankly, about what youd call an assault weapon than i am about magazines and the number of rounds that can be held in a magazine. And even sponsors of the bill acknowledge an assaults weapons ban is a tough sell on capitol hill. We owe it to our constituents and our country to try. The nra calls the feinstein bill a wrongheaded approach and said gun bans dont work. Now, the original passage of the assault weapons ban in 1994 is blamed for costing the democrats both control of the house and the senate
I think the number one thing that viewers like about the young turks is that were honest.

The c. I. A. Officer that revealed that there was torture 30 months in prison. The
The first woman u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york, white led prosecution teams that convicted mob boss john gotti, a vicious mob killer who had escaped prosecution by tampering with juries. White kept her jury anonymous and sequestered. She built the best set of terrorism prosecutors in america, convicting the blind sheik for conspiracy to bomb the United Nations and other new york landmarks. She also convicted ramsey youseff for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. And she was on osama bin ladens trail before anyone, indicting the al qaeda leader for the deaths of 18 u. S. Soldiers in somalia in 1993, charges that later included the 1998 bombings embassies in kenya and tanzania. So id say thats a pretty good run. You dont want to mess with mary jo. Mary jo does not intimidate easily. And thats important. Because she has a big job ahead of her. The s. E. C.
