Democrats call for “day of action” against law-abiding gun owners
Fresh off their catered nap period the other day on the floor of the House, Democrats are calling for a “day of action” during their July 4th break, in order to pressure the House GOP to pass more regulations against law-abiding gun owners according to The Hill;
Their suggested tactic: almost anything.
“Whether it [is] a press conference, roundtable, or telephone town hall, we encourage you [to] host an event showing that Democrats in Congress will keep up the fight against gun violence,” the lawmakers wrote. “Local partners including survivors, law enforcement and faith leaders can be excellent partners and can help carry our message even further.”
The Democrats’ lengthy and unruly sit-in, unprecedented in recent congressional history, was a direct response to the refusal of Republican leaders to consider tougher gun laws in the wake of the June 12 shooting massacre at a gay nightclub in Orlando, where 49 people were killed and another 53 injured by a single gunman.
The Democrats are pushing two separate proposals: One to bar gun sales to those on the FBI’s terrorist watchlists; and another to expand background checks on prospective buyers.
They learned that if they can keep up the pressure and make a bunch of useless noise and throw out empty threats, sooner or later someone will cave, like that year-long whine-fest they had about the Confederacy. It was the Confederacy that caused that animal in Charleston to shoot those people in church. But, oddly, it’s not the Islamist extremists of ISIS that caused the animal in Orlando to kill those people in a nightclub.
Passing legislation that only the law abiding obey will not stop gun violence. I know some folks have high hopes, for example;
I guess young Eva doesn’t realize that she was in the center of Washington, DC – in the center of some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country – and she’s still scared of loud noises. What gun laws would protect her and her fellow DC-ians from loud noises? What gun laws that aren’t already in effect in that city? As I’ve said before, guns were effectively banned in the city in 1974 and the Metro PD still takes nearly 2,000 illegal guns off the streets every year – 42 years later – because law abiding citizens of DC abide by the law and the criminals don’t abide by the law.
Those Democrats who sat on the floor of the House and think that’s work are trying to nullify two amendments of the Bill of Rights – gun ownership and due process. The Fifth and Fifteenth Amendments both stipulate that “[N]or shall any person . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law . . . ” But they want a rule that deprives Americans of their 2d Amendment Rights with a couple of simple keystrokes on a computer that adds their names to a watchlist and they have no chance to contest it. It used to be that liberals wanted more freedom for citizens, but this must be a new kind of liberals.
The truth of the discussion is that Republicans are sticking up for the people who will abide by laws, while Democrats want to disarm law-abiding citizens, leaving the criminals and terrorists armed. Their “day of action” should be aimed at the prosecutors who won’t hold criminals accountable for their crimes rather than at the legislature to write new laws that prosecutors won’t prosecute. But, it’s harder to enforce laws than it is to write new laws that won’t work.

Can’t let the “gun and bible clinging” crowd in fly-over country have the same rights as the “social and political elite” of this country, can we?
Fuck the donks and their liberty stealing ways…
“Bitter” gun and Bible toting,,,,,
Don’t forget bitter
These “MORONS” are so busy kissing obozo’s ass, they can’t even take time to think about what they are saying….laws against the “law abiding” citizens? I thought they were concerned with the terrorists? They are NOT, they are worried that the good people will find out the dumocraps sins and come after them!!!
What do you think would happen to these people who panic so easily at loud noises, if they were put into a room full of pingpong balls on mousetraps, and someone dropped a pingping ball?
I’ll bet they’re all scared of thunder, too. And trains. Trains are noisy.
In about six weeks, this country is going to be 240 years old. There was a reason the War of Independence was fought and a reason that the Constitution and its Amendments were written.
We don’t like tyrants.
Freedom isn’t free. It has a price. We cannot afford to let these tyrants take it away from us.
Sorry, that ‘six weeks’ was my brainfart for Sunday.
July 4 is NINE DAYS away.
My bad.
But to make up for it, here’s a little sample of what may be in the Congressional and WH bathrooms.

Well after watching a few big name Rinos jump ship over trump to the Dem’s I’m so hopefull that come November the people will speak enough that even the fraud from the left won’t be enough. I haven’t met anyone left or right that isn’t feed up with these elitist. Mi left friends who own guns and have had enough of the last 15 years maybe on to something when it comes to both party’s seem to be the same. Also what a lot of Americans don’t understand is a lot of the mccains out here want gun control bad they won’t tell you in your face it seems to a, a elitist agenda, I think a few more out here are waking up every day
Cross fingers for November
F the RINOs, I hope your right and that people have had enough of their $h!t.
Looks like a good day to be on the range….
The bike tire gave me PTSD for hours. I could barely tweet about it.
*golf clap*
well done, sir
So Little Miss Eva got frighten by a bicycle blowing a tire. That has what the fuck exactly to do with my guns?
You know, I really don’t like spiders. I’m fucking TERRIFIED of the damned things. Do I get to push for a national arachnid ban? How about a blanket ban on “unusual” pets? That should cover all the tarantula owners out there!
But wait, what qualifies as an “unusual” pet? Snakes? Rats? Geckos? Iguanas? Parakeets? Anything besides a dog or cat? Sure, that sounds good, dogs and cats only! But what about exotic breeds? Why do you “need” that Mexican hairless cat? It’s unnatural and scary-looking! And Irish wolfhounds are bred from Mideival war hounds, so nobody needs such a military-style assault dog! And Dobermans, Rottweilers, German shepherds, and Belgian melanois are all used as military working dogs, so they must be military-style assault dogs, too! The military can also use Labradors and other retriever breeds, so they’ll all have to be restricted. Civilians have no business owning dogs of war! They can hurt people! We must do something to ensure that our children will be safe from these assault dogs!
Jesus H. Christ
Am waiting for them to decide that no one needs automobiles, trucks or any other vehicles. Bicycles should be sufficient. AND, even those must not EVER make loud noises.
Just think how many fewer DUI deaths that there would be. Oh, the senseless loss of humanity! No more vehicle violence! No more needless Prius damage!
Don’t forget the boots. What if someone was to get their ass kicked by a pair of combat boots. You know, they look like most lace up boots, so any lace up work boot is basically a “military style” boot, we better ban all of them too. If utopia is what we are after, everyone needs to go barefoot or in some hemp hippie sandals. Ya know, for the children.
It has to include those loud noises that humans make, too. No shouting, no crying, no laughter. None of it.
No loud crowds, no bands playing in a parade on the 4th of July. No fireworks.
No shrieking and giggling on roller coasters. In fact, ban roller coasters, because so many people might get thrown out of them every year!
What about farting? Because I’ve had a few that have scared the cat pretty bad so those must be tactical assault farts!
I have always been curious, what is Jesus middle name?
Just H?
It’s Hardin. That’s not in the Bible, though, because he was embarrassed about some of his kinfolks he knew would be coming along.
Ahhhh…could be. Shocking as this might sound he would not be the only one embarrassed by the twisted family tree.
Semper Fi Bro
Truly a question for the ages.
It’s Harold….it’s his dad’s first name…it comes from the lord’s prayer…
Our father who art in heaven, harold be thy name…
It is a new breed of “liberals”, Jonn. Today, functionally they’re “totalitarians”.
But no one has anything to fear – so long as they “think and speak ‘correctly’.” They’re only looking out for our “best interests” – and they know better than we do what those “best interests” are.
Can’t have people thinking for themselves, you know.
Oh, f – – k that s – -t, Hondo!
We have the 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech, right?
I know you al heard about that, right? Hondo? Anyone? Bueller?
Might want to have yer sarcasm detector checked, lass. (smile)
Gee, and I thought invoking Bueller was sufficient!
Oh Jesus H. Christ, now Hobo is getting all /Sarc
If the daily feel-good stories that are featured here led off the nightly news, there would be a sudden sea change in the views of firearms held by many Americans, including Ds. The problem is that these stories are local and, unless there is a bizarre angle to them, untouched by news outlets. Feature the attempted rapes, robberies and burglaries that were thwarted by armed citizens and perspectives will change and change quickly. Look at the LGBT mess. One would think that 9 out of 10 people are gay nowadays because of media saturation of the condition. (Yes, condition.) It’s a great example of how a small matter affecting relatively few can be made to seem otherwise.
Presenting small issues out of proportion can distract from a failure to execute on larger and more important issues. Is your domestic economic policy inept? No problem. Make global warming a very big deal. How about that disaster of a foreign policy? Call up the media, and get teary-eyed on the issue of LGBT bathrooms.
And not to worry if the ship is sinking because the new arrangement of deck chairs will look fabulous.
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
At this point, The Klown Krew in Kongress (DildoCrats and GOPe RINOs) can pass all the “gun control” laws they want. My back is to the wall, I will go no further, I will not give up one arms or round to any JBT (unless under certain circumstances, and I think we all know what that is).
One surefire way to end “Gun Violence” would be a federal “One Strike Law”. Any prohibited person convicted of a gun crime would serve twentyfive years in federal prison. The meer handling a gun is a crime for a convicted felon. No plea deals, no probation, no exceptions. We all know who commits the vast majority of violent crimes and it’s time we dealt with them. Perhaps the US DOJ should go after felons with guns rather than threaten citizens over Anti Muslim speech.(See Idaho rape)
And therein lies the dirty little secret, Roger. The laws on the books are meaningless if, once they are broken and the offender apprehended, the prosecutor plays let’s-make-a-deal. That’s step #1. The next step is soft sentencing, with or without a sentencing recommendation as part of a plea bargain. The 3rd step is parole or some other form of early prison release. If the feds and the states were to get serious about guns in the wrong hands, they would target these steps, one by one. It’s easier to blame inanimate objects for violence, just as it is easier to pass new laws and stage shit-ins than it is to take affirmative steps to protect society from bad guys with guns.
IMHO another way to put a dent in gun violence would be to actually enforce the gun laws that already exist.
Sadly, a surprisingly large number of anti-gun types object to law abiding owners far more than criminals.
They do not go to “those neighborhoods” so they feel relatively immune from crime. (The won’t explicity say what neighborhoods they avoid, and thus what people, but they tend to say things like “inner city” or “high crime” or some other lefty-acceptible code word for the “others”.)
The can see themselves “snapping” and lashing out, and assume anyone with a gun (and who is not a crook) is far more likely to do so. This is “proven” because they know they might, and think about it, and since gun owners have bought guns they are showning far more tendancies to “snap”.
And since you live in their neighborhood, you are far, far, far more a percieved threat than any crook with a gun, said crook who is really not such a bad person just downtrodden and thus will behave once the “right” folks run things and patronizingly “care” for them.
Get some of them talking to what they think is a fellow traveler, and they may come right out and say all of the above, sometimes with surprisingly thin code words for minorities.
I almost forgot another head-spinning double-think they practice.
Guns are so incredibly easy to use that ordinary bad guys can become highly accurate and effective mass killers just by picking up a newly acquired gun. Too easily used for ordinary people!
Guns are so incredibly difficult to use that only highly and specially trained special people can possibly use them to hit intended targets. Too hard to use for ordinary people!
They will swear there is no conflict to the above points, and pointing out that that they are conflicting and thus irrational together, is both unreasonable and wrong.
The problem with their psychobabble, 11Bmailclerk, is that the ‘high crime’ and ‘inner city’ do not have boundaries. The increase in crimes like holdups at gunpoint and driveby shootings and expressway shootings is showing up in neighborhoods that never had them before, including so-called upscale neighborhoods.
All of this applies to those twits who are in complete denial of that reality. They think it will never happen to them or come into their area, their neighborhood, their street and they are completely wrong.
“sometimes with surprisingly thin code words for minorities.” Actions. Words. As long as THEY are over THERE, then it’s easy to be a lib. How’s about that halfway house in that neighborhood? Hell no! The dollar store? Hell no! Bus route? Hell no! How about some nice, cheap housing? Are you crazy?!! So, they vote for oBaMa or this puke or that one and their group conscience is clear.
That’s why I say that SHEEP and Cattle. always vote for whoever they think feeds them best even when it’s the ones fattening them up for slaughter.
Day of Action?
Won’t that be in November when we vote these wannabe fascist asshats out of office?
But don’t worry, they’ll find employment soon enough. MSNBC, the Brady Campaign, Moms Against the Cause du Jour, Nanny Bloomberg’s group. They’re always looking to hire Kool-Aid drinkers.
We need to pass a law to eliminate alcohol sales at gun shops! That’s just common sense!
(What’s that you say? That’s not happening now?)
But we have to do something!! Why are you opposing common sense gun laws?? /sarc
GOD, Jesus, Joseph, Mary and all the Apostles and Saints, I am SO sick and tired of all the hypocrisy and lunacy emanating from The Great Big Whorehouse on the Potomac River it’s not even remotely funny! I don’t recall anyone calling for box cutter bans after 9/11, Aircraft Control Laws, or Pressure Cooker Control Laws after the Boston Marathon Bombing. We get harped at NOT to judge muzzies because of the actions of a few of them while we’re told to judge ALL Gun Owners because of the actions of a few cowardly lunatics. European countries have Gun Laws that are stricter than Chicago or DC yet they have armed muzzies going on rampages there, methinks that lefties merely want everyone to be conveniently unarmed VICTIMS dependent on them and their bureaucracies, FUCK ‘EM ALL!
I second that.
In a just society these obnoxious usurpers of the US Consitution would be ran out of office for this shit. Instead it’s tolerated and they become even more emboldened.
Domestic enemies on display.
I read that at least 26 of those at the sit in are gun owners. My congressman, Tim Ryan, one of those Dems, not only is a gun owner, but also has a CCW! Hypocrites anyone? And Rangel saying that he deserves armed protection was the icing on the cake! I’ll bet if they pass any law, it will exempt members of congress, like most laws they pass!
Yep! The hypocrisy is astounding.
What’s sad is that even if they could have a totally successful “day of action” and confiscate every last legal firearm in the entire country, and nothing would happen to the rate of gun violence, because it’s not legal firearms that are causing the bloodbaths in Chicago and other urban shitholes. I think a lot of these Democrat fools would probably be baffled when things played out that way, the clueless fucks.
Also, I don’t bring this up to laugh at the problem and loudly proclaim my innocence in it. I bring it up because I would like something done about violence in cities. And to blame the Tea Party, the NRA and conservative country folk for a problem that’s caused by the Gangsta Disciples and Crips and other pond-scum douchebags is bullshit. It reinforces what we’ve known all along- the left is always less focused on improving people’s lives and more focused on telling them what to do. It’s why they HATE Brexit and it’s why they blame Omar Mateen on the NRA.
Oh, and if you think Orlando represents the true nature of gun violence in this country, go read a fucking book and get back to me when you get your heads out of your asses. I’m looking at you, Democrats.
I say we move the congress to south Chicago. Let them see how bad gun laws work.
Word.
EVEN better yet, make each and every one of them take a leisurely walk alone on the streets of DC after dark SANS any protective personnel whatsoever (in and out of the gang-ridden part) and THEN they can rant about how great Gun Control Laws are.
“Fresh off their catered nap period the other day on the floor of the House, Democrats are calling for a “day of action” during their July 4th break”
As they get drunk (like everyone else), party, kick it as they forget what the day is about. And then blame the Republicans for doing the same thing.
And I am VERY moderate.
Sad.
Turds.
Please consider a different point of view. To wit: the young lady in D. C. along with others who liked to have shit their britches over an apparent bike either having a loud flat (it was not clarified btw) or the rider letting loose an extremely loud fart after a baked bean & popcorn dinner.
Now the colon is also called the large intestine, for which all practical purposes means the colon is full of shit. That may be of importance to this story…see the young lady’s name. From the Jarhead Medical Dictionary of Neverwas comes the not-so-surprising notion that a colonoscopy is basically a look up the rectum in a passage way which is full of shit. One could logically claim that listening to a Colon, as in this case, could be akin to listening to a bunch of shit. That being said, one of the many treatments for colon-related problems includes an enema, or preferably a less-traumatic laxative. Keep in mind antidiarrheal medicine can often slow down diarrhea…..I just don’t know if it can contain diarrhea of the mouth, as in this case.
As for the young lady’s request to PLEASE PASS GUN LAWS, please do us legal gun owners who are NOT the problem a favor and shut your yap Ms. Shit For Brains. PLEASE have rational thoughts even as a mental pygmy and realize we must PLEASE PASS BICYCLE LAWS!!!!!!! Bicycles are ridden by far too many two wheel demons who enjoy hearing little girls and girlieboys shriek over the the dim of a bike. It is time to outlaw bicycles, even if that means from “My cold dead feet”. So be it. Dem damned bikes gotta go. Bike violence is costing too many lives. A background check is simply not enough these days. We all know the progressive liberals are outfitting as many cities as possible with bike routes…ever wonder why??? You show me a Syrian or an Afghannie who does not know how to ride a bike and I’ll show you a colonoscopy that didn’t come from an asshole.
Damn you, jarhead! You did not post a spew alert!
It’s just common courtesy to do so.
I startled at least 15 feral cats in the local colony with the noise I made. Now I have to go apologize to my car for complaining about the fact that it complains about starting and makes loud popping noises when it does so. I blame you for that.
Calm down Ex. You are still dealing internally with the long rant the T A H Encyclopedia of ALWAYS RIGHT let loose a couple of days ago.
I AM an old fart, not CAUSING one to erupt from your own body cavity.
Felines fear flatulence, you know that. You’re starting to act like Mr. Know It All and blame the world’s problems on somebody else. Be careful how you talk to him. You should begin to worry when the cats no longer want to hang around you.
In the future, spew alerts will be the norm., just for you.
Ex……This was made for you.
Awwwwwwwwww!
Molon Labe, fuckers.
Many may not say it, but the truth be known if all of us on this site were found to be in the same compound when the “takers” arrived in an attempt to do their job…..all hell would be focused on them. Their mission would not progress any faster than a snail’s pace. There is a great deal of solace, knowing full well the possibilities.
I thought violence was already illegal? Has that not worked and halted all violent criminal activity?
I’ve seen a lot of news about suspicious groups of bikes hiding under the name divvy. And they’re doing it right out in the open. Could it be a bike conspiracy?
And in other news, Leland Yee is still in prison.
Fuck that guy.
I both ride and own guns (well, I did until that tragic boating accident) – my biggest fear on a bike is making a loud noise when getting sideswiped by a Texas truck.
That being said, I have never in all my year heard a bike tire blow twice. Or even both tires blowing in quick succession.
THE ONLY TIME i ever heard a bicycle tire blow as my own when I was a kid. I was maybe in first or second grade and on a summer day I had just aired the front tire up all by myself at our neighborhood Gas Station (early 70’s, NOT a self-serve) and I remember taking a few steps away and heard a nice *POP!* much like a shotgun being fired and saw the hole in the tire. I quickly learned what a tire gauge was and how to use it after discovering my Dad wasn’t gonna paddle my ass for making noise and breaking something like that.
