Dem Rep. Yells “Spare Me The Bullshit About Constitutional Rights” During Gun Debate
summit news ^

Posted on 06/03/2022 8:34:17 AM PDT by algore

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.”

"Does Rep. Gaetz own a cane?"

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.

Next November is shaping up to repeat the 1994 midterms for the same underlying reasons, not the specific causes.

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.

“This is how Democrats feel about your rights: ‘Spare Me The Bullshit About Constitutional Rights’”

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.

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.

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!

GOPe- take heed. Any attempt at “compromise” is seen as weakness.

Compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water.

Preston Brooks was the guy swinging the cane, I believe.
