**SNIP**

Langevin, who is serving in his seventh term, has invited one of his constituents, Jim Tyrell, to attend the address. Tyrell’s sister, Debbie, was murdered in 2004 during a robbery at a convenience store she owned in Providence, R.I.

Langevin is the first quadriplegic to serve in the House. As a 16-year-old, he was injured while working with the Warwick Police Department in a Boy Scout Explorer program when an officer handling a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol thought the chamber was empty, and pulled the trigger. A bullet bounced off a metal locker, striking Langevin in the neck and severing his spinal cord.

Carlos Soto, the brother of Newtown victim Vicki Soto, will attend as a guest of Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn. Vicki Soto has been remembered as a hero for shielding her first grade students in the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting last December.

RATS should also remember those killed or maimed by GM products.

[TomServo]

And the Repubs are too damned stupid to respond with those who’ve saved their own or the lives of others using guns.

[coloradan]

They should also be honest and call all the victims who were injured or killed in gun-free zones, “gun-free violence victims” and not “gun violence victims” inasmuch as guns were prohibited where those victimizations occurred.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Republican response should feature people who have used guns to defend themselves and their families from violent criminals.

No sane citizen should be interested in hearing this liar lecture his betters. But no matter, the crooked networks will juice the ratings as they did with that pitiful inaugural fiasco.

Well that convinced me that only agents of the government should be trusted with firearms. Let's chuck the 2nd amendment.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Then the Repukes.....had they a collective spine....should invite victim’s families of Fast and Furious and Benghazi. But, of course, they won’t.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Anyone who wastes their time watching this propaganda crap has no life. All conservatives should boycott this steaming pile of horse apples.

I guess Langevin is one of those that believe that only police are qualified enough to possess firearms.

FNG TOOL and a gun grabbing pos.

I can hear it now. Obama will blather on about how those evil guns hurt all these people, making no mention of the fact that a malevolent human being was wielding said weapon...making the subtle inference that the mere existence of such weapons equals carnage. I wager that the mere existence of Rosa DiLauro's (they spelled her name wrong) face has hurt more people than any gun. I've seen many pictures of guns and have never vomited uncontrollably as a result.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wouldn’t expect anything less from der Fuhrer and his gestapo. Exploit. Exploit. Exploit.

[muawiyah]

So langvein was shot by a cop. muy interesante.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Any Chicago victims attending? Yeah I didnt think so..doesn’t fit into Obama’s little agenda now does it

[Patriot Babe]

Nooooo are the SANDY HOOK CHOIR going to make another appearance?

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Are the two ladies that were delivering newspapers going to be there? That would probably send the wrong message.

[Texas Fossil]

Tell the village idiot that when Chicago gun laws are effective at reducing murder, we will discuss how to improve the laws of the nation.

Hint- Hell will freeze over first.

Obozo is a total fraud, a liar and a traitor. And all 3 branches of government know it, and do nothing.

[mikrofon]

I wonder how many incidents his minions had to sift through to find this fluke accident that fit their agenda?

“If even COPS can’t be trusted....”

[Chode]

will nay of them be from Chicagoland???

[RatRipper]

der Fuhrer and Gestapo is EXACTLY where the Republicans need to go with their response. Millions upon disarmed millions were murdered by Hitler. That is the REAL risk of losing 2nd Amendment rights. Of course the bumbling Republicans don’t have the nads to bring that up.

Stand-up, Jim, and let 'em see you!
