The Rhode Island representative refused to yield his time during the outburst, while discussing legislation related to “red flag” laws, that would allow the government and law enforcement to confiscate firearms from anyone deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.
Florida congressman Matt Gaetz attempted to insert an amendment to the legislation stating “Congress disfavors the enactment of laws that authorize a court to issue an extreme risk protection order, also known as Red Flag laws, in the States because such laws trample on an individual’s due process and Second Amendment rights.”
That prompted Cicilline to call the defense of Americans’ constitutional rights “bullshit”.
Cicilline proclaimed that those who are an “imminent danger to themselves and others, such as they might commit mass murder, have a constitutional right to access a firearm. And to deny them that right would, quote, ‘trample on an individual’s due process and second amendment rights.’”
“You know who didn’t have due process?” Cicilline continued. “You know who didn’t have their constitutional right to life respected? The kids at Parkland, and Sandy Hook, and Uvalde and Buffalo, and the list goes on and on.”
When Gaetz attempted to respond, Cicilline said “No I will not yield and I’m not going to yield for my entire five minutes, so don’t ask again.”

Bolsheviks gotta Bolshie.
GOPe- take heed. Any attempt at “compromise” is seen as weakness. NOT. ONE. STEP. BACK.
Rep.Yells raised his hand and SWORE to uphold the constitution when being sworn in F#@KING LIAR
This needs to be used against every single Democrat candidate.
“This is how Democrats feel about your rights: ‘Spare Me The Bullshit About Constitutional Rights’”
Anybody but a Democrat.
Which will be everyone ...
Who else didn’t have due process were the 100 million killed by communist regimes after they disarmed the peoples.
He keeps getting elected.......
Does Rep. Gaetz own a cane?
It’s not just a constitutional right...it’s a natural right to self preservation.
The democrats always take a step back and compromise. They demand that they be absolute tyrants and tell everyone what they can have and what they can do and what they can think. Then they compromise on communism. Seems ok with the RINOs too.
Enemies Foreign and Domestic
Gee notice the same people who claim they care about human life are ok with babies being slaughtered til birth
Drag him out of office immediately.
This man has broken his oath to the constitution and is a traitor.
The noise you hear is Washington spinning in his grave
Now is the time to mention we have 10,000 plus state gun laws and 460 pages of ATF gun laws——We’ll talk when you’re ready to roll back all these laws.
I’ve had about enough from these morons.
Cicilline is a flamer, what else do you expect
Gaetz decking him would have been hilarious
This makes two reps who were screaming saying they could care less about the constitution.
Now you know why they are good with not prosecuting Blacks for crimes. They want a free for all with no rules for their voters.
