Instead of voting to "encumber and bog down the refugee process," Republicans should go along with a Democrat demand to bar people on a secret government list from buying guns, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said on Monday.

Earnest said the Republican plan to beef up the vetting of refugees will not improve national security: "Again, if Congress were actually interested in doing that, they'd pass a law that would prevent somebody who's on the terror watch list from being able to buy a gun. That's what Congress should do.

"And as people are sitting around the Thanksgiving table, talking about these issues, as they should, and as I'm sure they will all across the country, I hope that's a question that will be raised, and asked by members around the table--that if we're going to have a serious discussion in this country about national security, let's talk about some pretty obvious things that Congress can do

I'm will be curious to know how many democrats will get shot over the dinner table. They are usually there only because the wife insists.

What is more satisfying than beating a smug, stupid leftist in-law that you've hated since you were married, to death with a turkey platter?

Around here, we are loading the double barrel, too. Is your pump a 12-gauge?

That’s what I’m doing over Thanksgiving with my brother in law visiting from Colorado. We always take the Russian guns out for some cold weather shooting. Russian girls like that.

This story has made international news. Probably because it happened to a Pastor’s wife who is pregnant.

It is a perfect example of why homeowners should have a gun.

There is one woman whose place was invaded during the spree that should be thanking god these brutes saved her life because one of them wanted to kill her in her sleep.

I talked to the 9 year old granddaughter about gun control last night at dinner. She has it down pretty good from site picture to range rules.

I am sure there will be talk of gun control. Especially with the rash of armed parking lot robberies of women in my area. Many people will probably talk about the need for a gun.

Ofcourse, the only reason I know of these is we all share them on our community Facebook pages. They rarely make the news. But, it's good, because it's all women on these pages.
