GOP Rep. Jim Jordan says the comments prove what Democrats are planning: 'Now, we know'

Rep. Mondaire Jones said Thursday Democrats will abolish the Senate filibuster and pack the Supreme Court in order to pass more restrictions on guns, as the House prepares to advance a package of gun bills next week.

Jones, D-N.Y., made the comments at a House Judiciary Committee markup on a package called the "Protecting Our Kids Act." The emergency committee meeting was called by Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., in response to the mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas, and Buffalo, New York, in recent weeks.

"Enough of you telling us that school shootings are a fact of life when every other country like ours has virtually ended it. Enough of you blaming mental illness and then defunding mental health care in this country. Enough of your thoughts and prayers," Jones said during the emotional hearing.

"You will not stop us from advancing the Protecting Our Kids Act today," he added. "If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand it. And we will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation and our communities each and every day."

But House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said Jones with his Thursday comments showed Democrats fundamentally don't want to compromise.

"Now we know where they want to go. He just said it," Jordan, said. "End the filibuster. Expand the court. Forget the Constitution. Now, we know."

We shouldn't complain...they are busy saving democracy don't you know?

Who cares what the House does. No votes in the Senate and no votes to kill the filibuster. People are getting angry over stuff thats not going to happen. Life is too short to stress over all their BS. When there is an actual threat let me know but hopefully that's from someone that has taken civics and understands the process of capital hill or at a minimum has watched some Schoolhouse Rock.

He can wish in one hand, shit in the other, and see which one fills up first.

They just now learned this? I could have told them this was coming day after the election.

Hammer your reps, fellas. Seriously. If you aren’t making at least one call a day and sending one email a day, you’re a slacker!!!

Hammer the shit out of them, keep the pressure on them and don’t let up.

Unless you wanna find out if you have it in you to use the 2A for its intended purpose, you better full court press everyday!

Notice how fast they had all the protest signs and resolution typed up. Interesting is all.

I agree we shouldn't get too complacent but I don't see anything substantive coming out of this. Certainly no rifle bans etc unless Biden decides to pull a Trump and just make up an executive order banning them.I think this is all just a scheme to fire up the base because they know they are heading into a meat grinder in November.

So in 1989 absolutely NOBODY saw the Bush 41 import ban coming. Drug Czar William Bennett told Bush that "only drug dealers use these guns" and that was that, Bush just made it happen because he had the power to regulate imports. Nothing went through Congress.

In 1994 NOBODY knew about the Clinton Ban until AFTER it happened. There were only two good things about the Clinton ban, one it had a sunset so it was unlike every piece of gun legislation that came before or after and two it finally woke everyone the F up. When people had to pay $100 for a damn Glock magazine and $50 for a well used USGI magazine and you had to have a loud ass muzzle brake on your AR and couldn't have a adjustable stock for 10 DAMN YEARS people finally woke up.

But it wears off. In the school shooting thread there is already one genius who suggested "Can't happen, Senate doesn't have the votes."

He obviously doesn't know two things.

1. Prior to the sunset of the Clinton ban, a republican majority congress successfully amended the renewal of the Clinton ban to a Larry Craig industry protection bill and the ONLY reason it didn't pass is because Craig then killed his own bill rather than pass it with a poison pill amendment.

2. There were TWO Sandy Hook Gun Control attempts, there was the first one everyone worried about and AKs and ARs were fetching $2500 and Pmags were moving for $100 each, and after it was defeated and when nobody was paying attention NRA A Rated Harry Reid pulled a last minute, last hour attempt to shove it through a second time when he thought nobody was looking and he came this damn close to being successful. Most people don't even know it happened.

So the last thing anybody should be thinking is "they don't have the votes", "Senate will protect us" or any other "Don't see it happening" nonsense because that is exactly the environment that is required for them to be successful. Kinda like that one election where everyone was certain Hillary had it all wrapped up.

Watch the damn ball or lose the game. And that is for everyone, not just the person I quoted.


THCDDM4 is 100% on point, if we don't fight this war correctly, we are gonna have an actual war on our hands. I've been at this shit since I was able to vote. I've gone to the courthouse in person because they were gonna try and pass some local version of the CA ban in South Florida, and we weren't there for facebook photo ops.

I've been a NRA member more years than I care to think about. They aren't perfect but for decades they were the only thing that moved anyone in Congress to any kind of action.

I've made more phone calls, written more letters and sent more emails trying to prevent firearm legislation than most kids do trying to get laid.

I've also spent more money making sure I have "what I might need" should all of the above fail. And I swear to F'ing god, if we lose this time because a bunch of F'ing know it alls claimed it "can't happen" I'm gonna be as pissed at them as I am the people who shoved it through.

If you aren't acting like they are coming for everything and responding accordingly, might as well just hand over everything you own right now. If it seems like they are creating a momentum and building towards something, trying to orchestrate an "outcome" that is because they are. Keep their damn phone lines flooded, send some hard copy letters and even though emails get ignored send those anyway. Just print a hard copy and put a stamp on it.

And when GOA sends you an action alert, hit ALL those damn links. IF you didn't get an action alert go to the GOA website. Consider making a donation, $100 is cheap if it means Pmags won't suddenly be $100 each from now on. Go to the NRA ILA and support them, Wayne can't get a nickel of that money and they can't use it for fund raising or membership drives.
