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."

Why do articles always take the part of the sentence and not the whole thing. I was expecting her to say what the article says but that is not exactly what she says. She says MAYBE you should turn in your guns. Lately even conservative news has been stretching the truth. I don’t know what is going on with the lying.

Hey Sheila, I assume your armed security detail will no longer be necessary..Hey I’m not saying you can’t use that fellow anymore but he won’t be allowed to carry a gun, a spoon yes, but a gun, no

At the exact moment that our president is a revolutionary marxist, raised by card carrying members of the communist party, and our nation is being flooded by Mexicans, Salvadorans, and every type of Moslem available anywhere on earth (africans, pakistanis, iraqis, egyptians, afghans, somalis etc),,
you think im ACTUALLY going to turn in a gun? I won’t even do so if you pass a law.

While Jackson Lee said she would not take guns away from people, she noted that she is the sponsor of legislation, H.R. 227. That bill would raise the eligibility to carry a handgun from 18 to 21, and ban people under 21 from possessing semiautomatic assault weapons.

You fscking moron! The legal age to purchase and carry a handgun is already 21!!!!!

She was denied a Concealed and Carry license. For obvious reasons.

No, thank you, I’ll keep mine.

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.

As we used to say in Iraq “please log your request on the EAFD Form 101.”

Not turning in my car because people are killed by drunk drivers. Nor my kitchen knives because people are stabbed.

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.

A lot of talk and no action Shelia. Have your representative PM me here on FR to make contact so we can make an appointment for your representative to come and pick up my guns.

I will give up my guns when our elected officials give up their security details.

Cindy. Trust me, I don’t want to be a part of YOUR America. Or Obama’s.

I want to be a part of the America that was written in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the sacrifice of Men who made this country great.

You can keep your vision of America.
