During a forum on gun control in Colorado hosted by The Denver Post, Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) mocked the concerns of a senior citizen who said that his impairments would put him at a significant disadvantage in a firefight under the state’s new gun laws. She drew laughs from the crowd when she reminded the questioner that he can take advantage of the Denver Police Department’s services. She added that, in the hypothetical situation the questioner described, “you’d probably be dead anyway.”

At the Tuesday night forum, the elderly questioner described his unique circumstances and asked DeGette about how he is supposed to defend himself in an extended firefight if he has to change magazines....

This is a fine example of a Democrat that cares. She cares about faggots, drugs, and murdering unborn babies. I hope she burns in hell.

Also said the woman sitting in a building where they probably required you to disarm to attend the meeting.

There is no difference between a Democrat and the thug that breaks into your house to rape your family and burn them alive.

The fiends are of the same subspecies.

The Colorado GOP could run Abe Lincoln himself in that Denver district and not come close to getting elected.

What a mean condescending ugly bitch this 'Rat congresscritter is! Right out of the Nancy Pelosi - Hillary Clinton mold!!!

Yet the 'Rats have the gall to claim in their political advertising that it's the GOP which is looking to throw grandpa and grandma off the cliff.

Yep...our 'leaders' have crossed the line from authority to tyranny.

Looks like a self-satisfied libidiot to me. How dare she condescend to a taxpayer like that, how rude. (No, I'm not surprised, of course!)

She fits right into this bunch, sure enough.

This elderly man should be made an NRA poster boy before the sun sets! They could send out flyers to every retirement community in the state about how the Democrats want them to die.

Remember that the former Colorado Democrat governor Richard D. Lamm(D), said that Elderly people have a “duty to die and get out of the way”.

Combine these two, that the Democrats want elderly people to die, and want them disarmed so that they die by violence.

I’m sure that this would be a *hugely* popular message with just about anyone over 60 years old in Colorado.

“I hope she burns in hell.”

It is acceptable to hate her actions (the sin) it is not right to hate *her*.

I hope she finds Jesus.

In the meantime, I will do what I can to see that her evil actions have no effect, or are minimized. Perhaps we can even use them to accomplish something good.
