3 Democrats Walk Out Of U.S. House Of Representatives Session During Moment Of Silence For Orlando

Thanks to political-correctness the FBI could have prevented the killer from buying a gun. But I don't think that would have stopped him from making a bomb and doing the same thing.
how you fucking liar?
He was on the FBI's terrorist watch list for years and magically was removed. You can't be an Iraqi vet suffering from depression and buy a gun, but if you're traveling to Saudi Arabia, watching videos from terrorists, claiming to be a member of al Qaeda, known to be a very troubled if not violent person who hates blacks and gays, you can be a security guard and carry a gun. This guy they allowed to buy a gun. Red flags were all over the place on this guy, but the Obama Administration refuses to recognize the threat. He's more worried about us shooting him than he is about Muslim terrorists shooting us.
yep. thank the nra, don't blame the fbi. ignorant fuck


The NRA does not advocate using guns for murder you ignorant asswipe...please show where in their literature this is the case?
 
These people have no shame. The bodies haven't been put to rest yet and these degenerates felt that they needed to make a political statement. In their zeal to take our guns, Democrats are intentionally being disrespectful to the victims in Orlando:




Next time lock the Democrats out during the middle of the night.

A moment of silence is traditionally held to commemorate shooting victims, but after 49 people were slaughtered during a mass shooting at a gay nightclub on Sunday morning, some Democrats said that wasn’t enough.

“Where’s the bill?” Democratic reps shouted. “Show some respect!”

Ryan banged his gavel in vain, calling for order. Some representatives walked out of the room in protest, including Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT).

Himes announced that he’d skip out on the moment of silence earlier Monday, calling it an “abomination.”

The Connecticut representative’s district is close to Newtown, where 20 first-graders and six adults were fatally shot at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Himes called moments of silence “obnoxious expressions of smug incompetence” on elected officials' part.

Legislation to restrict the sale of assault weapons and to prevent people on the terror watch list from acquiring firearms has been introduced in the wake of previous mass shootings, but never advanced through Congress.

Despite his previous inclusion on an FBI terrorist watchlist, Omar Mateen, the US citizen who carried out the Orlando attack, was legally able to purchase a Glock handun and AR-15 assault rifle in Florida because he had no criminal record.




Via The Hill:

House Democrats staged protests in response to a moment of silence on the floor Monday evening for the victims of the attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando.

After Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) led the House in the moment of silence in honor of the 49 people who died in the massacre on Sunday, the chamber quickly erupted into shouting as Democrats expressed frustration over the lack of votes to restrict guns after repeated mass shootings.

“Where’s the bill?” Democrats chanted.

“Show some respect!” other Democrats shouted.

Some lawmakers walked out of the House chamber before the moment of silence began in protest, including Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.). Earlier in the day, Himes declared that he wouldn’t participate in any more moments of silence to protest the lack of legislative responses to mass shootings.

“The fact is that a moment of silence is an act of respect, and we supported that. But it is a not a license to do nothing,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters off the House floor afterward.

“Members have just had enough of having one minute, a moment of silence on the floor, and then take no action,” she said.

After the moment of silence ended, Assistant House Minority Leader Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) tried to seek recognition, a request Ryan denied. Clyburn told reporters that he wanted to speak about the upcoming anniversary this Friday of the shooting at a historically black church in his district a year ago in Charleston.

House Erupts In Shouting By Democrats During Moment Of Silence For Orlando Victims…

House Floor Dissolves Into Chaos After Moment Of Silence For Orlando Victims
This is what happens when a person is controlled by their ideology.

They didn't have to do this, not at that time. Pretty nasty.

When would be better?
AFTER the moment of silence.
tell you what - when Congress doesn't actually do anything, when the nra uses the gop to block sensible measures that could have prevented the murderer from purchasing those guns - if you're outraged then I'll believe you are sincere now
 
The bodies haven't been put to rest yet and these degenerates felt that they needed to make a political statement.

Who? The Republicans with the moment of silence or the Dems demanding action? Which political action makes you mad?
This isn't a contest. One of these days you leftists will learn that we are all in this together. What will it take? An attack on the Capital?

Action, done in haste under the pressure of intense emotion, does not good legislation make. Like it or not, we have Constitutional protection of the right to bear arms, and any "action" taken cannot violate that.

This is like asking when is it a good time to discuss gun control. There isnt. You just want it to be any other time than when someone brings it up.

You don't want to discuss gun control. You want those that disagree with you to sit down and shut up. That's the leftist definition of compromise.
 
Thanks to political-correctness the FBI could have prevented the killer from buying a gun. But I don't think that would have stopped him from making a bomb and doing the same thing.

He was on the FBI's terrorist watch list for years and magically was removed.

He didnt say the NRA advocated murder. Thats why you smacked that strawman down. The NRA wants no restrictions.

Terrorist cant get on a plane but you better not get in his way of buying a gun.
 
I used to wait to post about gun issues after these incidents...out of respect for the dead....and then I would watch as anti gunner after anti gunner would go to the nearest camera...dragging the dead bodies thru the puddles of blood to screech about law abiding gun owners....

so I stopped waiting....the democrats are vile and disgusting...and have to be fought at all levels of the political arena....

the nra blocks all sensible gun control measures, including measures that would make it more difficult for criminals and terrorists to buy guns.

but you know and support that
 
Oh, please. It was a political move with no real thought of these poor families. ONE minute! JUST ONE MINUTE, yet they couldn't wait.
It should have been a bipartisan minute.

They didn't have time to honor those 49 slaughtered gays the Islamic terrorist killed. They need to TAKE ADVANTAGE of this moment to get their 1994 gun ban back....


Hey they only get a few of these moments. Gotta jump quick!!! The moment of silence for gays can wait.
 
Democrats Shout Down Speaker Ryan and Protest Moment of Silence to Demand More Gun Control [VIDEO] | RedState

Can't say I'm surprised in the least. This was not the time to push their agenda. Acting like the anti Trump protesters they represent.

Good for them!

The Congressional "moment of silence" is an insult to the families of the victims
We won't actually do anything about the death of your child, but we will give you this nice moment of silence.....doesn't that make it all better?
 
You do not control guns of criminals and terrorists with laws, UNLESS the law is all legal mentally stable adults carry a gun.

The problem is those on the left wanting to have a discussion define it as the other side sitting down, shutting up, and doing what the left wants done.

If you don't think someone should have guns, have the guts to take them yourself. Bet you don't have the guts. You have the mouth that you run, though.

If it isnt a contest you're upset at both parties then for political actions? I bet thats a no
