26 Dems In House Sit-In Were Gun Owners

Make no mistake, the inexorable growth of government, always-more intrusive regulation and the ever-increasing horde of unaccountable bureaucrats has begun to result in blowback from the citizenry. For proof, you only need to look at the unlikely rise of a candidate like Donald Trump and the result of yesterday’s Brexit vote in the U.K. The latest example of government elites displaying a naked double standard — because remember, they know how you should live your life better than you do: the fact that the House hissy fit thrown by Dems unhappy with their inability to further restrict their constituents’ gun rights included 26 gun owners.

Geez. What's a useless politician (redundant) to do? It must be okay for them to own (or have owned) a firearms because they are SOOOOOOOOOO much more smarter and importenter than us common folks. And what does the author mean by Trumps rise? According to some fictitious poll by some ersatz group, hildabama leads by double digits.

[Jimmy Valentine]

All of this and the whole affair was catered! Somehow, I doubt their sincerity.

[Biggirl]

You mean those “26 crybabies”?

[Resettozero]

Hope DJT’s advisers have seen this news story.

[Texas Eagle]

I wonder how many of them underwent background checks.

[lowbridge]

[rktman]

Well, there were more than 26 whiners present. Suppose the others have their own armed suck-urity folks?

At least it was good that the Rep. from TX stood up to them and told them what they needed to hear.

My brother in law is not just pro-life, he is anti-abortion in the strongest way, he is pro-gun, but he is also a union member and a loyal democrat. Go figure.

[Resettozero]

...but he is also a union member...

That's a obvious clue to me why he remains a D, forsaking his other ideals.

[Resettozero]

...an obvious...

In some of these photos, members of the sitters can be seen picking fleas off each other’s backs..:/

[bigbob]

wonder how many of them own one of them AR-47s I hear tell of...?

[Texas Eagle]

That wasn’t a sit-in. It was a blood money fundraiser.

[longfellow]

Line them up against the Vietnam wall and shoot them.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I wonder if any are on the no/fly list? It happens. Ted Kennedy made it. Sure they might be cleared to fly, but their names stay on that pesky little list until they go through the legal process to have it removed. Those 26 gun owners might bite their own selves in the ass.

He votes his checkbook rather than his principles. The government $$$ means more to him. My cousin married a man who is the same way. Hates abortion etc... votes Democratic because the Republicans would take his job. Ironically Obama moved federal money out of his social program to the inner cities and cost him his job. He sold his soul and still got screwed over by his overlord.
