   " I believe it is a shoulder thing that goes up. "   
                       -Carolyn McCarthy   
      
   ____________   
   "Carolyn McCarthy Barrel Shroud Award"   
      
   Give to recipients who have shown an outstanding lack   
   of knowledge in subjects they claim to know about.   
      
   CARLSON:  In February, you introduced the Assault Weapons Ban and Law   
   Enforcement Protection Act of 2007.  It would regulate semi-automatic   
   assault weapons, including weapons that have pistol grips, a forward   
   grip and something called a barrel shroud.  Weapons with a barrel   
   shroud would be regulated.  What is a barrel shroud and why should we   
   regulate it?   
   MCCARTHY:  I think the more important thing is that it also would have   
   banned the large capacity clips that Colin Ferguson had used and also   
   the killer.  But we are talking about...   
   CARLSON:  OK.  But I read the legislation...   
   (CROSSTALK)   
   CARLSON:  I'm sorry.  I read the legislation and it said that it would   
   regulate barrel shrouds.  What is a barrel shroud?  And why should we   
   regulate that?   
   MCCARTHY:  The guns that were chosen back in those days were basically   
   the gun that most gangs and criminal were using to kill our police   
   officers.  I'm not saying it was the best bill.  But that was the best   
   bill they could get out...   
   (CROSSTALK)   
   CARLSON:  Do you know what a barrel shroud is?   
   MCCARTHY:  I actually don't know what a barrel shroud is.   
   CARLSON:  Oh, OK.  Because it is in your legislation.   
   MCCARTHY:  I believe it is a shoulder thing that goes up.   
   CARLSON:  No, it's not.   I just-- here's my question.  Shouldn't we   
   spend more time trying to understand why people commit these crimes,   
   how a person with this profound mental illness like Colin Ferguson or   
   Cho Seung-Hui can exist in our society unnoticed.  That seems a more   
   pressing question than whether has a barrel shroud to me, don't you   
   think?   
   MCCARTHY:  Well, to be very honest with you, I have been working on   
   that for years, also.
