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.”

It is nonsense like this that makes it understandable why the South wanted to secede.

Who in their right mind wants someone like that to bear rule over them?

An MA@@hole of that day— Sumner of MA was the recipient of needed bashing. and yeah, he did milk it. More self righteous than even the ultimate Radical Republican Leader, Thaddeus Stevens, whom many of that day (since Stevens believed the Lincoln would abandon Emancipation, the minute the war ended, and thus drove the Reconstruction politics post Lincoln’s murder) that Stanton and Stevens made the unbelievable possible. Lincoln had no intention of the kind of punitive Reconstruction— as he told Grant “Let ‘em down easy”. The entire continuous meme of the Progressives and Marxists is the perpetuation of the divisions and wounds that were healed more than 100 years ago. It now serves the Left’s agenda to abandon the very Constitution which preserved our Union. Imagine the pretzel logic (tactical and strategic) that a Marxist mind would find useful to tear down all that generations fought to preserve, here and around the world. Hunt the Marxists, and all of their friends— expose them.
