Representative Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) (D-CA-5th Dist) won “Top Gun” at the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation annual shooting competition this past week then commented on his hopes for the passage of more gun control.

Thompson stood with Gabby Giffords on March 4 and reintroduced Senator Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) failed expanded background check legislation. It has gone nowhere fast since that time.

Well duh. The 2nd Amendment is only for the elite. Peons, STFU and sit down. We'll let you know what your "rights" are when we damn well feel like it. Just think if they didn't support the 2nd.

I am all for gun control. I believe that every responsible gun owner should control their gun. It is an important skill in being able to hit your target. Being able to control your sight picture, proper trigger squeeze ......

Oh wait,

You weren’t talking about controlling guns, you were talking about controlling people. No, I do not support that.

I do believe the second definition of TOP MORON is more applicable. Let’s face it, the mind set of a socialist seldom changes. On top of it they are so predictable it is almost uncanny.

Representative Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) must be a liar. Beware when his lips move.

Oh, I'm sure she had a LOT to say, huh? More like hubby Mark pulling the strings and telling everyone what she meant.

Absolutely. Let’s start with disarming the Capitol Police. London bobbies don’t need guns. No need for gun grabbers to be protect by guns.

The Congressional Sportmen’s Foundation annual shooting competition lets members of Congress “shoot rounds of trap, skeet and sporting clays.” It was held May 12 at Glenn Dale, Maryland’s Prince George’s County Trap and Skeet Center.

Congress and the senate always exempt themselves from laws they pass but find inconvenient for themselves.

Laws are for the common man - not for our Washington Royalty.

That’s what they did with Obamacare, isn’t it?

That’s what the did with laws making insider trading illegal.

And that is what they would do with restrictive gun control laws.

They are hypocritical scumbags.

I always believed the government should follow the same laws they make for us to follow;. If there is a gun control law, they have to abide by it too and that includes the military. If we cannot have M-16's, then they cannot either so for the military, reissue the Springfields. Also, the FBI, SWAT teams and so forth must follow it too.
