Dem Says Pro-Gun Demonstrations ‘Need to Be Canceled’
Tea Party.org ^

Posted on 08/19/2014 9:48:57 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said over the weekend that a gun rights group shouldn’t bother rescheduling a planned march through Houston’s Fifth Ward, and that these sorts of demonstrations “need to end.”

Open Carry Texas was set to march through the political subdivision of Houston, but had to postpone the event. According to the Houston Chronicle, Jackson Lee and others gathered to say they oppose the group’s effort to raise awareness about the right to openly carry rifles and shotguns in Texas.

“We come in peace,” said Jackson Lee. “On behalf of many thousands who live in this community that are minding their daily business, Open Carry’s efforts need to stop, need to be canceled, they need to end.”

The Chronicle said the Fifth Ward is an historically black neighborhood, and that Open Carry decided to hold an event there after being criticized for only holding events in “rich white neighborhoods.”

First they criticize Open Carry Texas for rallying only in "rich White neighborhoods", so they try to "reach out" and they're bashed anyway. Proving that Rep Lee is a race baiting poverty pimp extrodinaire.

Sheila Jackson Lee should run for president, giving Democrats an alternative to Hillary. Democrats need more black women leading their party.

The mere fact that this woman is still breathing is proof that gun owners are a pretty self restrained lot.

This is the same brainless wonder who said the moon rover was on Mars. How do these fools get elected?

So white people have lost both their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights? Got it!

I have run across many mentally challenged children with more going for then than this brain dead individual. How can someone this stupid make it past puberty. Who feeds her, surely she can’t feed herself.

If she had an IQ ... well, there I go postulating the impossible, sorry.

If Obama and the Democrats have accomplished nothing else, they’ve at least shown the nation that under their agenda, there is no room for the Bill of Rights.

“We come in peace.” said Jackson-Lee

This is what the Martians always say, just before they start melting everything with their ray guns.

The black murder rates in Houston, Dallas, and El Paso are 50-75% lower than in Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia.

Arguably the Texas gun culture is saving the lives of young black men, but SJL is too stupid to understand this.

"...they need to end."

SHE needs to end. First, she needs to end opening her unbelievably stupid mouth. Then, she needs to disappear. She is a waste of space and oxygen. So what does that say about the cretins who keep voting her in? Darwin Award winners, every one.

How about cancelling something that really needs to be cancelled, ma’am? You know, like riots.

That proves the maxim that an armed society is indeed a polite society. If everyone in America were equipped with a gun, the crime rate would drop to nil. The evidence from the old West confirms this as an undeniable fact. Nearly everyone was armed and actual crime was negligible regardless of what the leftists in Hollyweird portray.
