You can take your gun control and stuff in your cavernous nostril, Sheila.

You won't get it witch. No matter what you do, we shall defy you.

I just learned a neat and inexpensive technique for rifling barrels. We will spread the technology around so that it is completely impossible to stop guns from being made.

Per Jackson Lee "...I've held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I had it. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the bullet that is utilized, a .50-caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street,"...

The stupid, it burns!

And “flooding” is a euphemism for what exactly?

I wonder if Mrs. Lee ever considered that she and the other members of the House and Senate were elected to represent their constituents. That is not an invitation to impose her will on anyone else - elected or not. She is supposed to serve not command. Back off bi**h and get over yourself.

I’d be careful with that. Just about as soon as you point out how utterly stupid someone in Congress is, the rest of them seem to take that as a challenge...

Dems are insane.

I hope the Senate will stay in R hands and that they will NOT buckle under to the Dems.

The NRA has previously published articles against red flag laws but appears to have given up on stopping federal legislation for grants to the states. The NRA has some good pre-written text in the body of that message (behind the link above), but add some of your own polite, respectful content against red flag laws.

Or better, yet, send a separate message to your senators to argue in short, concise terms against red flag laws.

The only way to show the extraordinary, stellar, supernova level of Shelia's profound ignorance of what she's talking about is to quote her, FTA:

" my bill that I've introduced dealing with the caliber weapon, I've held an AR-15 in my hand, I wish I had it. It is as heavy as 10 boxes that you might be moving and the bullet that is utilized, a .50-caliber, these kinds of bullets need to be licensed and do not need to be on the street," she said recently on Capitol Hill. (My bolding)

Shelia: An AR, with a loaded magazine, only weighs about 8 lb. and its round is .226 cal., not .50. Your superbly, brilliantly ignorant remark tells me you've never either held or fired an AR. Indeed, the only weapons of over .50 cal. you can buy today are either shotguns or replicas of various flintlock and percussion weapons of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Ran into a good quote for Sheila Jackson-Lee the other day from Marcus Tullius Cicero:

“Politicians are not born, they are excreted.”

I went to a school, did some custom machining at work a long time ago and am always interested in such tech. Would be more than happy to receive a link, if there is one.
