House Dem: 'Turn in your guns'

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Wednesday afternoon urged people to turn in their guns, arguing it would be an appropriate response to last week's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.

"I would personally just say to those who are listening, maybe you want to turn in your guns," Jackson Lee said on the House floor. "Oh no, I'm not going to take your guns. But look at what Dick's Sporting Goods did … they wanted to be part of the solution and part of America."

The blood from the Sandy Hook massacre is upon Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and all those who seek to disarm victims.
Shame on you!

Only a gun could have saved those young children and teachers at Sandy Hook.

Yes, I heartily agree. All those that voted for this moron and the kenyan should turn in their guns. That would make CWII easier.
Truth is, this appeal will motivate the stupid liberal gun owners to turn in their guns. I hope more Dim pols do the same.

Great idea Sheila! In fact why don't you start by going into the gang infested parts of DC (without any security detail) and start politely asking the gang bangers to give you all their guns. Get back to me on how that works out for you...

I guess your street gangs will be standing in line to turn in their stolen guns at the nearest police station.

You know, Sheila may have a good idea here since the only people that will listen to anything she has to say are leftist gun owners! If they all respond to her message our environment will be less target rich when the revolution starts. :)

Democrats want to empower government and to take away our individual rights and freedom.

Democrats including the media, this abomination and the Obama piece of crap want to make us slaves of the government. They are enraged that we can even own any thing like land or guns or have any rights at all. They want to control everything and that's why they want the government to own everything so then the government has absolute power.

I would move a little closer to Ms Jackson's "suggestion" if she had began her remarks with:

"I am proposing today that the House of Representatives become a "gun free zone" and we are dismissing all of our security personnel in recognition of the tragedy in the gun controlled state of Connecticut"

"____(Insert any democrats name here)____needs a certain level of violence in this country. He’s willing to accept a certain level of killing to further his political agenda,”

Posting a "Gun Free Zone" sign is like posting a "We Cannot Defend Ourselves Here" sign, or a "Hey Nut Case! Shoot Over here!" sign.

The nut cases never go to defended areas, because they could be the first to go. Democrats hate it when that happens. (In fact, the left wing MSM never reports on a self defense story. People aren't "allowed" to hear about those!)

Sheila Jackson-Lee is one of the dumbest people on this planet. The fact that this self-important foghorn is voting on legislation that affects the lives of sane people is symptomatic of the decay of this nation.

This needs to be repeated over and over.

“And Dick’s Sporting Goods is TEMPORARILY halting sales while they review their policies and procedures. Look for them to be back in business soon.”

Either they will start selling guns again after this dies down or they will start selling guns again after they look at their quarterly report which shows sales down.

“Not turning in my car because people are killed by drunk drivers.”

Maybe turn in your alcohol?

I read somewhere that drunk driving is responsible for 15% of all auto fatalities. Seems to me we should be worried about the 85% of auto fatalities committed by people not drunk.

We need to discuss issues from that viewpoint as well.
For far too long we’ve been accepting their premises that paint them as “good people” with benevolent intent.
