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.”

Not that it will actually matter to an imbecile like Cicilline, but correcting him that they are not constitutional rights would be a good start.
Every once in a while some democrat speaks the truth about what they really think about the Constitution.
Danny C. Has her sphincter knotted because she lost her speaking spots on fake news.
ALL of our elected AND appointed violated their oath to the Constitution on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when they swore in the ineligible Kenyan from Indonesia.
Spare me the Bullshit about your authority to violate the Constitution and do your damn job and secure our schools instead of funding wars and crushing American sovereignty.
Sieg heil, mein Fuhrer
You mean Providence? Provincetown has plenty of flamers, but no Mafia tat I’m aware of.
Everyone, that is, except known gang members.
Remember when Congress wanted to pass “red flag” laws and
Republicans said OK but wanted to add all known gang members to the list. It was voted down.
The democrats know who is in their voting block.
When you don’t have the facts, pound on the table.
Gun Debate = Bullshit
The democrats didn’t have one problem with Biden leaving 300,000 guns in Afghanistan to be sold around the world and who know have many have made to here.
Marxist sob’s only have a agenda to disarm Americans.
Yet another gun salesman.
I wish we could round up these communists and send them to live in North Korea.
Hes calling The very constitution that he took an oath to uphold bs?
Even our faux president burden says “the 2nd amendment isn’t absolute” - they are attacking our constitution openly and blatant tly now. Thye don’t even pretend to,uphold it anymore
You know who very likely has an ARMED BODY GUARD? If he wants no Constitution he should move to Australia.....
Needs to be some teeth behind that swearing in statement.
The Congeessmoron hates the Constitution. Rhode Islanders, get rid of him.
Let’s try something. Let’s do a little experiment if you will. Let’s first try disarming all the guards and people that protect these politicians that want guns taken away. Let’s take them away from them and there families. And see what happens to them. Let’s do it for a year. I bet the people that have to protect these radical politicians work over time.
Remind me of a time I was in Provincetown with my ex and 3 other couples. We were having a couples getaway. We saw this stretch limo with 8 crossdressers - all in formal wear. They stopped at the town hall and got out. My friend said to us,”Must be the town council and the mayor.”
In an odd way, he's right. None of the school teachers at Parkland, Sandy Hook and Buffalo were allowed to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights to self-protection. And residents of Buffalo, like anywhere in NY State have draconian limits placed on how they exercise theirs.
