Is she still looking for that American Flag on “Mars”?

Good idea.

Question 1 to ask:
- Why was no one carrying a weapon in the theater except the gunman?

Question 2:

—Why are people trying to score political points based on the act of a evil, mentally deranged individual?

Question 3:

—Why are stories of armed citizens taking action and stopping crimes not more widely publicized?

I could come up with other questions if needed.

Maybe this screeching hag will refer the NRA person to one of her expert political pals that said the island of Okinawa would tip over if our Marines put too much stuff on the Island.

“it’s hard to find babysitters, and so you take a sleeping baby to the movies.” No, Shiela-smart people do not take their little kids out in public places in the wee hours just because they want to see a movie. And a 6 year old is not a “baby” in the literal sense of the word. I wish that loon would move to some other state, and out of Texas...

Her own employees don’t want to be in the same room with her. ‘Nuff said.

She would be better off trying to stop the killings in her own district of South Central Los Angeles and Chicago. Fix that and then talk with the NRA.

Exactly. The NRA should ignore this idiot for the imbecile that she is. There is absolutely no value added in any endeavor in which she is involved.

This is not to demean but maybe Ms. Lee could broaden her understanding of why firearms are necessary to maintain freedom if she considered the following; suppose 200+ years ago that all those people who were rounded up like animals and taken by force from Africa to become slaves had access to firearms..........just suppose

"I want an explanation on why someone can buy 6,000 rounds of ammunition on an Internet without any oversight whatsoever," she said. "Why is there no basis of giving notice?

And she wants the answer from the NRA? How stupid can this woman be? My guess she's got as much in her noggin as Rep Johnston in Georgia (Guam would tip over if more troops were moved in).

The NRA and its law-abiding members, has as much to do with the Aurora tragedy, as Lee does with normal human intelligence.

Silly Jackson Lee’s district is Houston/Harris county, Texas. Her constituents are the only ones who even acknowledge her presence...

Did the guy kill 6,000 people? I must have missed that.

“farting in a bag and saving it”

Last thing we need is ANOTHER Sheila Jackson Lee.

While I agree with the sentiment, we should point out that Sheila Jackson Lee represents the 18th District of Texas, which includes downtown Houston and, not unlike South Cnetral LA or Chicago, is riddled with crime, drugs and despair, despite having been represented by Democrats in Congress for over 50 years.

You'd think that the people voting for these morons would catch a clue after all this time, with their communities disintegrating further into social decay with each passing year of Democrat representation, but they don't.





As to Sheila's planned meetings with the NRA...there are literally a billion things the NRA could do that would be more productive than listening to Sheila flap her massive jaws.

Was he carrying 6000 rounds of ammo on him when he committed the crime?

I bet he left hundreds of pounds of other stuff at home as well. What about that stuff?
