Former U.S. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, who successfully ran for Congress in 1996 as a crusader for gun control after a mass shooting on a New York commuter train left her husband dead and her son severely wounded, has died. She was 81. News of her death was shared Thursday by several elected officials on her native Long Island and by Jay Jacobs, chair of the New York State Democratic Committee. Details about her death were not immediately available. McCarthy went from political novice to one of the nation’s leading advocates for gun control legislation in the aftermath of the 1993 Long Island Rail Road massacre. However, the suburban New York Democrat found limited success against the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment advocates.Carolyn McCarthy Dead __________________ Member NRA Member NYSRPA | ||

To refresh memories- "the shoulder thing". "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Sadly she will no longer be able to advocate against the shoulder thing. __________________ Member NRA Member NYSRPA | |||

I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up. - Charlie Brooker | |||

For some reason I always thought it was Fineshteen that said the shoulder thing that goes up. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Watch the first TC clip, where she cements her status as an ignorant moron for all eternity. __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." | |||

Every time a gun regulation gets repealed or struck down, her legacy diminishes a little bit more, and I will celebrate that. | |||

Yes, and she said that she thought it was the shoulder thing that goes up. | |||

Just making sure I wasn't misremembering which dumbass grabber said the dumbass grabber thing. There's so many good ones to choose from, after all.
