    House Democrats’ Gun-Control Sit-In Turns Into Chaotic Showdown With Republicans

    WASHINGTON — A Democratic protest demanding votes on gun-control legislation led to pandemonium in the House chamber that did not end until early Thursday, when Speaker Paul D. Ryan and his fellow Republicans reclaimed control long enough to force through a major spending bill. They then abruptly adjourned and the Republicans left the Capitol.

    Furious Democrats remained on the House floor, where they huddled around their leader, Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, who praised their stand as a “discussion heard around the world.”

    Butt hurt sore losers?

    As John Roberts wrote when he allowed ObamaCare to proceed, "Elections Matter."

    Exploiting Orlando: Nets Advance Anti-Gun Agenda By 8 to 1

    In the wake of the horrific attack on an Orlando nightclub by a man espousing allegiance to ISIS, it didn’t take long for the Big Three networks (ABC, NBC, CBS) to advance the preferred political line of the Democrats, in this election year, to push for more gun control. Beginning on the evening following the shooting, NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt on June 12, sounded the clarion call for gun control: “Today’s terror attack brings national security and the debate over gun control to forefront of the presidential campaigns once again.”

    And for the next week, an MRC study shows the broadcast network news programs flooded their shows with statements favoring gun control over gun rights by a ratio of 8 to 1.

    Republicans should go have a sit in at the white house over the weak fight against radical islam.

    I'm quite sure that back in 1960 people whitesplained to John Lewis why he should not sit in.

    He did anyway.

    I hope they sit in forever.

    It's a political ploy. They have no intention of passing any legislation. They just want to be able to use the vote in their election campaigns.

    They were really motivating! They did great! It made me want to go out and buy an AR-15.

    The democrats are the best gun salesmen for America.

    C. Oregon gun shops expect AR-15 sales to jump

    Larry Myers said he expects gun sales to increase, as the gun reform debate is back in the spotlight.

    "The civilian version the AR-15 is not a full automatic, it's a semi-automatic -- pull the trigger once and get one bullet," Myers said.

    Myers said gun owners can choose magazines that carry up to 20 bullets.

    "They do not empty magazines within one minute unless you pull the trigger that many times," Myers said.

    Here in Central Oregon, ranchers prefer to purchase these types of weapons.

    "It is a tactical weapon commonly used for home defense but most often utilized (for shooting) varmints," he said.

    I'm all for it. Political stunts are great. Even better if there's some conviction behind it.

    But... Democrats complain about shutting down government when they get their allowance cut or taken away, and then think it's dandy to shut it down with the sit in thing.

    I wonder why the Sargent at Arms allows departure from decorum to happen? Did they change his job some where along the line?

    "Mandated under the current House Rule II, the Sergeant at Arms also enforces protocol and ensures decorum during floor proceedings."

    Wow, 24 fucking hours and the sit-in is DONE, SON. They stopped because they didn't want to lose out on their vacation but may continue once they are back on the clock.

    AT-TI-CA! AT-TI-CA!

    I am getting concerned. These people make me want to find sane place to live. With these people representing nearly half the nation, if Hillary become President, I think this country will fail to recover.
