Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)- “What is wrong with the people here in this country?” asked anti-gun Senator Barbara Boxer on the floor of the Senate Monday.
Boxer was questioning why even the anti-gun Senate had not heeded her call for more gun bans, and concluded that something was wrong with America.
Well, here’s an idea, Senator Boxer:Â Nothing’s wrong with America. But something is wrong with you.
And, in particular, something’s wrong with your state of California, which registers guns, bans many semi-automatics, has a $24 million gun confiscation program to send SWAT teams to people’s homes, and is rated by the anti-gun Brady Campaign as having the strictest gun control laws in the nation — and yet was unable to prevent another massacre of students on May 23 2014.
It probably won’t surprise you that Sen. Boxer doesn’t blame this massacre on the fact that California left all of the victims as unarmed “sitting ducks.”
Or that even the New York Times now realizes that its sensationalist coverage has created these copycat killings.
Or that it’s the CRIMINAL who is actually at fault!
No. Boxer instead concluded that this was another opportunity for her to exploit a tragedy for political gain. And that’s exactly what she has done.
The text of Boxer’s hilariously-named “Pause for Safety Act” was not available at press time. But, by her own definition, it would allow a universe of people which could include virtually anyone (for instance, “co-workers,” according to Boxer) to sue to take your guns away.
After the lawsuit is commenced, you would have to take thousands of dollars (which, presumably, you have lying around the house) and hire a lawyer to resist that petition. Of course, if you didn’t have the money to hire a lawyer, your constitutional rights vanish in thin air.
Gun Owners of America has had lots of experience with the far-less-expansive restraining order gun ban added to the “prohibited persons list” in 18 U.S.C. 922(d) and (g).
Constantly — and we mean constantly — we receive e-mails from innocent law-abiding members who cannot afford the cost of resisting a petition to take their guns away. Constantly, we see the impact of “he-said she-said” reciprocal gun-ban petitions which are the inevitable outcome of failed relationships which are increasingly common in America.
So, yes, Senator Boxer: We understand what you’re up to. If the Boxer bill were to become law, virtually anyone could lose their guns at any time because someone with “deep pockets” didn’t like them.
But the good news is that Boxer’s proposal is so transparently anti-gun and so odious that we can nip it in the bud if we act now.
ACTION: Contact your Senators. Ask them to oppose Barbara Boxer’s crazy anti-gun “Pause for Safety Act.”

Barbara Boxer, maybe it is time for Congress to pass a “Pause for Sanity Act” … you know … try passing some Laws that make Sense.
“Taxation without Representation” explains this Democratic dysfunction. The ‘Progressive’ agenda means more to them than the wishes of the tax paying majority. Though they tout compromise, there is none from them.
There is nothing wrong with the people of this country, however, there are many very serious things wrong with our government. Obama, Reid, Boxer and the rest are simply anti-Constitution and Un-American, doing anything and everything they can to obtain so much power they’ll be invincible. Even if that notion is only in their feeble minds.
There again she keeps getting the homo votes and is from an area that is so anti gun that they live behind a walled in community. She also is another that has armed security with her where ever she goes. To that dirty dog boxer there are people here in CA that just do not think much of her or what she stands for. boxer is another anti rights type the way she is she only rights for those that have the money to pay for them, and everyone else well she just does not think that the regular person… Read more »
Ms. Boxer is clearly losing her congnitive functions. Unfortunately, in California it goes unnoticed.
Who keeps electing these people???
