"own legitimate firearms for legitimate purposes."

There should be a crushing debt task force.

“”will be led by lawmakers as diverse “”

Sure doesn’t look very diverse to me...

And what the heck are “violence experts?”

Since we know there are more motorcycle deaths in America than by rifle...there needs to be a motorcycle death task force.

Since we have around a thousand people a year die by salmonella....then we ought to have a salmonella task force.

Since we know more American die by hammer or blunt force, than by mass shootings....then we ought to have a blunt force task force.

Since we know over a ten-year period...that almost 10k Americans died in farm-related accidents, then we ought to have a farm accident task force.

Since we know generally 700 people die each year from boating accidents...ten times the average number from mass shootings...then we ought to have a boat accident task force.

Since we know that various Senators and Representatives run corruption and investment schemes to benefit themselves or their contributors....then we ought to have a corruption task force.

Yes, on and on and on....only a task force will fix what ails America. Personally, I think if we just had a Bigfoot Task Force....we could finally get to the bottom of all these Bigfoot sightings.

They’re a bunch of weasels looking for ways to weasel us out of our RKBA. The house needs to throw any recommendations they come up with in the trash can. They have all made it perfectly clear that they’re trying to incrementally whittle away at gun rights until there are no gun rights. Furthermore, they don’t have half the support for their cause that they think they have. They create the illusion of broad based support for their agenda through control of the media. A handful of so called journalists, aided by a handful of radical liberal politicians, repeat the same carefully crafted propaganda over and over again trying to bend reality to their will instead of simply reporting on reality as journalists should. Don’t fall for it GOP or you’ll find yourselves out of work come the midterms. You work for us, not them.

You what I would like to see, a Million Hunter/Defensive gun march on Washington DC specifically Congress in open carry. Preferably unloaded ( so we don’t have an accident).

though most are Democratic proposals that would put new limitations on guns or firearm accessories.

Those proposals are best viewed in the House members toilet rooms, since thats all they are fit for...

Crushing debt task force...LOL...I’ll pay attention if there is ever one of those....

We need a task force to gather evidence and prosecute elected officials who violate their oath of office.

Don't like "assault weapons" or "high capacity clips" or guns with a "thing that goes up" then propose an amendment and let the people vote. Otherwise you are violating your oath to support and defend the Constitution and we the people are obligated to remove you from office and prosecute you.

Typical Democrat misleading worthless kabuki theater from the Democrats. THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE, and these panels are just theatre. The article never mentions that these aren’t official HOUSE sanctioned panels; they even go so far as to try to connect a Republican chair of a ‘real’ committee to give their BS little show some credence.

All Kabuki Theatre....

Where's the (Republican?) Self Defense Panel? Who's going to lead/chair that panel??

There should be a crushing debt task force.

No kidding...more distractions to take our eyes off REAL problems they're NOT addressing, while they strip away more of our rights.

They have quite a selection of people who are victims of gun violence, but no one who understands the value of guns in the hands of law abiding citizens. Wonder why they wouldn't ask a few of these people to be on their little committee?

Jeanne Assam

Susanna Gratia Hupp

Nick Meli

Sarah McKinley

Mikael Gross and Tracy Bridges

Joel Myrick

Probably because choosing these people wouldn't guarantee the results they were looking for.

It’s failed before it begins.

Laws cannot and will never prevent a crime. Laws are there to define the crime and outline the punishment for committing the crime.

There is only one way to prevent a crime. That is to stop it when it is happening. Force on force is the only way to stop these mass murders.

I hear a lot of people saying that it’s the Government doing these. I don’t believe that but that would be one reason why the Dems don’t want force on force capability for the would be victims. It would blow open that kind of operation in no time flat.

The panel says it will meet with gun-violence experts the Brady Bunch this month and recommend prevention strategies in February.
