Why the mag ban may pass: sabotage by faux conservatives

If they pass a 10 round cap limit,, I'm upping caliber and carrying three 10-round .45s : Seriously

That's my reason for wanting a P220. Well, it's my rationalization, anyway. My immediate family all live in CA, so my P226 won't be allowed in the state. I need another gun, and if they won't let me carry a lot of bullets, I might as well carry bigger bullets.

Even so, liberals have a nasty habit of quoting conservatives out of context to make their points.

LOL! I don't think the liberals are the only ones with that "nasty habit." It is the main ingredient in the political pundit's bag o' tricks, no matter the political stripe.

Political Correction is a project of Media Matters, which is one of the most mendacious media outlets in this country — populated by hard core socialist/progressives and proto-commies. If they said it, then I am skeptical. Cheney surprises me if it's true, but Lugar's lifetime rating from CPAC is only 77.26, which makes less than a hard core conservative. Bill Kristol is a 2nd generation neoconservative, which means that he is comfortable with a big government. So it isn't that surprising that either of those two are willing to discuss regulation of magazine capacity. They aren't hard core conservatives. Don't forget that Cheney, as George Bush's VP, was part of an administration that was not fully committed to conservative principles.

Even so, liberals have a nasty habit of quoting conservatives out of context to make their points. It may well be that Media Matters has taken exactly that tactic in order to deceive fence sitters. They lie enough about everything else that I wouldn't put it past them.

I agree with your analysis and I don't know if they're lying on this or not --though if so, I think we'd hear denials from those misattributed. Whether it is a lie or an accurate attribution I think it is part of a unified assault on gun ownership and self-defense rights. I also agree with your later comment about Noonan.
