DNC House already pushing new gun control:

[Grand58742]

Basically, it's universal background checks. In committee at the moment, but likely will get traction soon.

And has 231 cosponsors to include a few so called Republicans. But of course, let's not hear from actual victims of shootings that disagree with us!

House Republican Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., said Wednesday that Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee refused to let him testify at a hearing on gun violence about his experience as a victim of the congressional baseball practice shooting two years ago. The move infuriated his fellow Republicans.

Scalise told Fox News that he found out over the weekend that Democrats had chosen not to allow his testimony at the hearing --“Preventing Gun Violence: A Call to Action” -- something he said is a courtesy traditionally extended to any lawmaker who wishes to speak.

“I thought it outrageous that they want to try to silence this message, because in the end I’m still going to get my message out. They can’t silence this issue,” he said.

Scalise was shot and injured in June 2017. But despite his experience and perspective, he said that committee Democrats said he would not able to testify -- although he could submit written testimony for the record, which he did.

“He wasn’t denied because he disagrees,” Nadler later said. “Majority members, we decided we needed to have a hard and fast rule today or we’d be here all day with members.”

You mean like an actual job where you're there all day?!?

Not sure if that's the bill or not but one of these bills some woman is introducing has a 50% tax on ammo. To make it clear she said if a 50 box of ammo was now $10 it would be $15 and similar taxes on cigarettes has proven effective.

So I guess she overlooked eCigs and I suppose she wants more untrained people with guns.

That's in Connecticut.

That's in Connecticut.

..and it was a 50% increase on the existing tax from what I read. Either way, she is a dumbass.

Would have been nice if Republican control had knocked out all the foundations they are building off of.

These clowns are well along the path of legislating their way into irrelevance.

Governments collapse when an aggregate of Citizens choose to ignore them.

Irish Democracy.

That would be cool, but unfortunately we have far too many willing to enforce those whims to be able to successfully ignore it all.

I do not regret getting all I wanted regardless of cost.

Shame I don’t have the same enthusiasm I once did.
