Wanker of the Day: Jeff Kaufmann

You know what’s funny in the aftermath of near-fatal shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords? Republican lawmakers who propose incredibly lax gun control laws and then refer to them as Give a Handgun to a Schizophrenic Bills. That’s what happened in Iowa and it was caught on an open mic.

Republicans this week revived a proposal that would allow Iowans to carry weapons in public without permission from a sheriff, without background checks and without training requirements.

The legislation, House Study bill 219, is known as “Alaska carry,” which is law in Alaska, Arizona, Vermont and Wyoming.

Rep. Jeff Kaufmann (R-Wilton) made the comment about the bill creating open season for schizophrenics. He has an email address if you are interested in contacting him: jeff.kaufmann@legis.state.ia.us
