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.”

That is exactly the dimocrat position, the Constitution is pure Bravo Sierra.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Sumner milked that incident for years. Brooks should have finished the task.
Can't think of where it is wrong if a politician lives in fear of those he represents. Keeps him humble, or at least wary.
After two years of constant crisis and distrust of the Democrat in the White House, the Democrats need a distraction and victory. Gun owners are one of their core opposition demographics and seen as easy group to attack, despite the contradiction this presents since when provoked, gun owners WILL vote for their interests. Instead of actually dealing with economic or social problems the Democrats did more to create than Republicans, they go for a public relations victory while the news demands we go along and like it.
Then we get to watch CNN anchors shocked faces on election night. Maybe.
Well allrighty then. So parents from school board meetings and anyone remotely white, Christian or "cis"?
I was hoping they'd getonwiddit before I got too old. Least they're takin off the masks now. Mebbe more of the sheeple will take notice... mebbe.
I think they're tryin to out do each other with the rhetoric.. d;^)
The ONLY thing keeping the state from making me a slave of the state is The Constitution. If this AHOLE, or any other, think they're going to make me a slave, they're risking their personal well beings.
You never know!
Cicilline needs to be hung!
Filth like these are the very ones who scream for free access to slaughtering unborn, sensing human beings, because these verminous dead souls refuse to grant the alive, sensing unborn ANY RIGHTS. It is these devils that we have the Constitutional rights to defy.
Excuse me, didn’t you take an oath to uphold the Constitution?
Not sure how Sumner represented Brooks, but OK.
The oath he swore meant absolutely nothing. He should be tossed from congress forthwith.
If you start tossing these vermin for nit uphold their oath the Congress would be down to around 150 to 200 souls, and I don’t trust most of them!
Compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water.
More like 250 million, truth be told.
All opponents will be disarmed, then the stupid lefties will disarm themselves.
Whatever— it is Providence with the mob— lots of them.
Yeah- Provincetown,MA many many Toots of Earl. Remember Congr. Studds! And the famous Barney Fag (so named by Dick Armey of Tx— oops— Freud’s slip showed.
Preston Brooks was the guy swinging the cane, I believe.
This is exactly why we need duels on the House floor.
It an un American, un Constitutional statement coming from his mouth that be answered with incoming fire.
