Rebellious Democrats shut down the House's legislative work on Wednesday, staging a sit-in on the House floor and refusing to leave until they secured a vote on gun control measures. Exasperated Republicans were forced to recess while cutting off cameras that showed the protest.

Nearly 100 Democrats led by Georgia Rep. John Lewis demanded a vote on measures to expand background checks and block gun purchases by some suspected terrorists in the aftermath of last week's massacre in Orlando, Florida, that killed 49 people in a gay nightclub. It was the worst shooting in modern U.S. history.



"No bill, no break," shouted Democrats, who demanded that Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., keep the House in session through its planned weeklong recess next week to debate and vote on gun legislation.

The GOP is useless.

Once again the GOP is in a corner. As long as they're sitting there they get free press. If he allows the vote, then he caved. If he doesn't allow the vote, they demagogue.

This is why a loud mouth bully like Trump is the frontrunner. Ryan no doubt has a team of consultants drafting a plan to minimize damage, while Trump would be front and center, shouting at them.

Vote or not, this would have even less chance of passage than in the Senate, I'm guessing. Count on guns to be a hot button election issue.

Holy crap.. Gawker is agreeing with the GOP.


The Democrats Are Boldly Fighting For a Bad, Stupid Bill (http://gawker.com/the-democrats-are-boldly-fighting-for-a-bad-stupid-bil-1782449026)




The no-fly list (https://www.aclu.org/infographic/grounded-life-no-fly-list) is a civil rights disaster by every conceivable standard. It is secret, it disproportionately affects Arab-Americans, it is error-prone, there is no due process or effective recourse for people placed on the list, and it constantly and relentlessly expands. As of 2014, the government had a master watchlist of 680,000 people (https://www.aclu.org/blog/numbers-tell-story-our-governments-watchlisting-binge), forty percent of whom had “no recognized terrorist group affiliation.” This is both an absurdly large number of people to arbitrarily target in gun control legislation, and far, far too few to have any meaningful effect on actual gun ownership, let alone gun violence.

That's a pretty big mistake on the part of the Dems. Regardless of whatever fake statistics they publish this week, the reality is that every time guns become a major election issue it always helps pro-gun Republicans. Like, every single time in the last century. As a hard-core progun person myself, I say let the dingbats make guns an election issue. I'm not going to stop them shooting themselves in the foot.

More on Congressional Dimocrats’ Snit Fit
Becky Akers



First, even devout Democrats admit that the unseemly sit-in on the floor of the House of Representatives was a publicity stunt:

After nearly 26 hours, House Democrats, lead by civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, decided Thursday to end their sit-in demanding stricter gun control legislation.

As expected, they didn’t get what they were asking for – a vote on the “no fly, no buy” bill, and another vote on universal background checks.

What Democrats did get was lots of attention. … Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said the sit-in was a “publicity stunt.”

And it was — but is there anything wrong with that?

Progressives: utterly shameless and even stupider than they are shameless.

Second, after reading my article, Phillip Osborne wrote me, “Do these idiots not remember that one of their heroes, Ted Kennedy, was on the no fly list?” His astute comment reminded me of a detail I should have included in the piece (in which I also confessed that I’m now thinking like a Rethuglican, so perhaps that temporary insanity explains my lapse): Rep[rehensible] John Lewis, alleged leader of the Dims’ publicity stunt, was on the No-Fly List! Yes! Indeed, his inclusion there caused him considerable trouble and embarrassment, so it’s not as though the old fart simply forgot how sloppy and unreliable said list is. Delicious to realize he’s one of the folks this silly bill would disarm, isn’t it?

On the other hand, John’s a dyed-in-the-wool Progressive. If a few minutes of thinking like a Republican can knock facts out of Your Intrepid Reporter’s head, what does a lifetime of Progressivism’s nonsense do to a born moron?

Trump will be no different than Clinton with gun rights. Clown may be different, but constitution will still get pissed on.

On the gun issue, it is not even close. Trump is about the equivalent of a George W - a milk-toast Republican, perhaps a C minus on guns, but who at least gives better defense of gun rights than Geore W. Hitlary, however is the poster child for Stalinist/Hitler style gun control.

Just look at their respective responses to the Orlando tragedy. Hitlary immediate exploited the tragedy to call for more federal gun control laws including national gun bans of "assault" weapons.

In fact just in October, Hitlary announced her campaign gun control plan to
1 prevent gun purchases by indefinitely delaying purchasers’ background checks,
2 ban all semi-automatic shotguns and detachable-magazine,
3 ban semi-automatic rifles (and some other categories of guns)
4 ban the possession of firearms by people in “troubled dating relationships” without due process of law,
5 empower the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to revoke the licenses of dealers for unintentional recordkeeping errors,
6 prohibit Americans from selling a “significant” number of privately owned guns,
7 repeal the federal law that prevents gun control supporters from pursuing frivolous or politically motivated lawsuits designed to stop gun sales by driving firearm manufacturers and dealers out of business and.
And this is mild compared to her prior history on gun rights. She has exploited every opportunity to try to disarm more and more Americans. Yes Hitlary Clinton is the nightmare incarnate on the issue of gun control.

Confederate Flag Ban Vanishes During Democrats' Sit-In
GOP lawmakers remove amendment prohibiting flag display at VA cemeteries
Jun 24, 2016

...During private negotiations to merge the House and Senate versions of the bill, Republicans removed an amendment that would have prevented the Department of Veterans Affairs from displaying Confederate flag imagery in VA cemeteries on the two days a year that large Confederate flags can be flown.

The change came to light as House Democrats led by civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis of Georgia held an all-night sit-in to demand action on gun control that tied up proceedings in the chamber…
