Durbin Calls On President Trump & Republican Majority in Congress to Stand Up to the Gun Sales Lobby

Senator Dick Durbin ^ | 5/22/2018 | Senator Dick Durbin

[5th MEB]

YEP; we all took an oath, “TO PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC”.

I have thought for a very long time that includes any body who tells me I live in a democracy, when Constitutionally it is a REPUBLIC.
I guess that would have to include anybody in the Democratic Party.

Durbin is obviously dicking around.

“Congress is going to have to choose who to listen to – the students who are spending their class time thinking about whether their desks are in the line of fire or the gun lobbyists who want to further weaken gun laws on the books so they can make more gun sales. I know where I stand. I’m going to keep doing everything I can to put the safety of my granddaughter, my grandson, and kids across American and our neighborhoods ahead of the gun lobby’s agenda of selling more guns,” Durbin said. “We may not be able to stop every shooting in our schools and in our streets, but if Congress takes meaningful action to close the gaps in our gun laws, we will save lives.”

Wait....what?

From what I hear, the teachers are getting serious about protecting students from "guns"......Pop-Tart guns, finger guns, drawings of guns, invisible make-believe guns being held by 12-year-olds with Autism........while not identifying those with serious problems and who evidence that they are ready to commit violence because it would 'inconvenience" then if they were identified.........anything but putting good guys with guns in place to stop the bad guys with guns who will be there no matter what laws they enact...if they have their way, I will become a criminal because I refuse to hand over my weapons.

The Bush Family stood up to them and then lost the election to Clinton.
Stupid is as stupid does.

LOL

Normally I would say that that’s taking it to a rather eccentric level.
But they just don’t seem to be responding to any form of reason.
