The Democrats in the House of Representatives have a sit in protest to force the Republican side of the House to bring about gun control.

Along with the reports on the news, we're getting crap like this.

And comments like this.
I don’t give a shit about denying anyone the ability to buy guns, even if it’s “unfair” to those people, because - unless you’re getting a single-shot rifle to hunt squirrel to feed your starving family - NO ONE SHOULD OWN ANY f....k GUNS.
Let’s stop expecting the conservatives to give and inch and start taking inches whether they like it or not.
And this
Once this bill goes into effect, enough hunters and other gun-owning non-terrorists will end up on the watchlist and be banned from gun purchases that the GOP will cry foul. But that outrage will now be focused on reforming the terror watch list itself to make it more transparent and constitutional, not in repealing the associated gun ban. Because “transparency” is an easier argument to make than “let’s let terror suspects buy guns again”.
This is a brilliant strategy that, if successful, will ultimately force Republicans to join Democrats in fixing not one but TWO problems - gun control AND the due process problems with the terror watchlist.
We don't have to wait for the election. THIS is the new norm. We need to keep backing up those that support and are fighting for our rights. We need good, solid, repeatable points to counter their comments. We need to use every tool in the shed to protect our rights. Even if it means tacking it on legislation we don't like.
What do you say?

Me thinks the Sergeant of Arms should seal the House Chamber (and restrooms) and let them sit in their own s**t until they all enroll in the NRA as Life Members! Any Republican who knuckles under to these kind of tactics should be booted out of office. Enough is Enough.

Remember, thee are the same assholes that were calling for the FBI to shoot Bundy and his supporters in Oregon for occupying public property.
Now, here THEY are , occupying public property.
The Democratic party needs to go.

And the RINO wing of the Repubs too.
Paul Ryan....what an a$$hole.

Yeah.... I wonder if Ryan wears the same color lipstick as Michael, er, Michelle O. ??

Ever notice that the reply to any accusations about Barry get an instant denial and the accusation of racism, but the allegations that "Michelle" started out as "Micheal" get dead silence.
Thing is, it wasn't JUST one person saying it. Joan Rivers was just one of many.
Makes you wonder if there is anything about that crew that isn't a lie or illusion.

Well they finally left the building, but don't be surprised if they start up again the moment they get back.

DNC or GOP, they're lying, Tom!

OK. When Alan Dershowitz calls the Democrat's actions childish, you know it's bad.

I don't see GOP sulking like spoiled brats.

More on this:
"Delete the Constitution."
Blame the muslims, the jihad, guns, do it for safety
Legislators proposing this should be removed from office.
Has anyone even read the bill that has democrats staging a sit-in on the floor of Congress?
"No district court of the United States
or court of appeals of the United States
shall have jurisdiction to consider the
lawfulness or constitutionality of this section..."
It gets worse.

Maybe we should start a campaign to mail pacifiers to all of the “sit in” crew.
