Lugar pushes to renew assault weapons ban

Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) this weekend called on Congress to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.

Lugar is the first GOP senator to call for increased gun control following the Tucson tragedy that killed six people and wounded 13 others, including Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. But Lugar, who supported the initial 10-year-long assault weapons ban when it passed in 1994, said he's not optimistic about the chances for passing gun control legislation this Congress.

His press secretary is Mark Helmke. That name ring a bell?

Mark's brother, Paul Helmke, runs the Brady Campaign.

It makes me sick that this democrat-republican says he represents the state of Indiana. He does not!!! Indiana is one of the most firearm friendly states in the union, and we have been fighting the Lugar machine for years. The worthless career politician has a political machine like Daley had in Chicago, guaranteeing he gets elected regardless as to whether he is approved by the people or not.

We are currently trying to get the Republican committee to field more than one candidate, because we sure don't want to vote in a Democrat just to get rid of a career politician who is a poster child for term limits.

And yes, I have written a really nice letter to Mr Lugar asking if he actually took an oath to uphold the constitution.

Lugar will not seek renewal of a ban on assault weapons

Jan 19, 2011

Written by Maureen Groppe

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Richard Lugar said Tuesday he's not pushing to renew a ban on assault weapons as was reported last week after he told an interviewer the ban should be reinstated.

"I was innocently trying to say that I voted for this in the past and probably would do so again," the Indiana Republican said. "But there was absolutely no chance, zero, that we're going to have such debate."

Just because someone lies to you in the past doesn't mean they won't lie to you in the future!

If nothing else, 36 years in the senate has taught my "representative" one thing, the art of double-speak.
