The media orgy over the Democrats’ temper tantrum in the House of Representatives has been well documented over the past 24 hours. But with all the fawning tributes and comparisons to civil rights era protests on the 1960s, one fundamental, logical question seems to have escaped the minds of the hive-mentality media gaggle covering the Pelosi-run publicity stunt.
Let’s first point out the so-called “common sense gun safety legislation” these Democrats claim was the impetus behind their fund-raising escapade disguised as a protest. The crux of their agenda had to do with legislation designed to prevent individuals on the terrorist watch list from buying weapons. This would deny the right to bear arms to up to a million people because someone in a government office in Washington put their name on a list. A fundamental, constitutionally protected right would be denied without due process.
But, there is one obvious and logical question that if posed, would put the Democrats on their heels in this debate. And I haven’t heard anyone pose it yet.
“Mr. Democrat Congressman, can you please tell me which other constitutional rights the government can suspend without the benefit of a day in court?”

They will all just say SCOTUS made up that right in recent years.

The system worked....
FBI interviewed that guy 3 times... no problem identified.
A gun shop owner reported him 4 weeks before the incident after his attempt to buy body armor... no response from feds...
He made terrorist related threats over the phone (recorded)... no response
He shoots and kills 50+ people... Dems try to push more gun control.
Yeah!... makes a LOT of sense to me!
The blood of GAYS is on DEMOCRAT hands!!!
By their reckoning, all of them.“Mr. Democrat Congressman, can you please tell me which other constitutional rights the government can suspend without the benefit of a day in court?”
How can a law repeal any part of a constitutional amendment?
Again, msm would never ask.

Technically, lots of them. There are people locked in jail who haven’t gone to court yet.
One question is: with what hand do you wipe your ass?
I just called my congresscritter’s office. He was an early member of the sit in. I actually had a smidgen of respect for him prior to this. His minion was pretty speechless when I asked the question prefaced by my name and address for a written response.
He was also listed on another website as a Democrat member of Congress who was known to be a gun owner. What a hypocrite.

And as a reminder....Diane Frankenstien had a carry permit at one time.
You have to give the left credit for one thing: They are very good at manipulating the language used to frame the debate. Too many people now see gun control for what it really is: it’s all about control, not guns. Recognizing that this wording is no longer working for them, the left is now using the term “Gun Safety” in place of “Gun Control.” (After all, who could be opposed to “safety?”) We let them get away with this tactic all of the time, with terms like “undocumented immigrant” instead of “illegal alien”, and “pro-choice” instead of “anti-life.” As Rush Limbaugh has said many times over the years, “words mean things.” We have to stop falling for this trick, and define the issues in our own language.

No. WE do not “let them get away with it”. The media cartel aids and abet them in constructing it. With some alternate media now, we are fighting it.
true, but hey, this wasn’t about truth. it was a photo op temper tantrum.
