Multiple Democrat lawmakers in the Minnesota House of Representatives yelled “go ******* shoot yourself” at Republican Rep. Elliott Engen as they staged a dramatic sit-in on the House floor to force a vote on one of the most aggressive gun control packages in the country.
The meltdown took place on Thursday, after the House deadlocked 67-67 along party lines on a procedural vote to bring the Senate-passed gun control omnibus bill, House File 5140, to the floor for debate.
Democrats responded by refusing to leave the chamber and staging a sit-in, demanding an immediate vote on the sweeping legislation that has been called the “most extreme gun-grabbing bill in the country.”
During the meltdown, Rep. Aisha Gomez shouted at Rep. Engen to shoot himself.
WATCH:
Republican state Rep. Drew Roach described the Democrats’ behavior as “completely UNHINGED” in a post on X, calling the attack on Engen “deranged, toxic, and downright dangerous” from the same lawmakers pushing to disarm citizens.
Roach wrote:
Democrats in the Minnesota House have gone completely UNHINGED
When house dems didnt get the vote they wanted on the most extreme gun-grabbing bill in the country HF5140 one of their own, Rep. Gomez, actually told Republican @elliottengenMN to “go f-cking kill himself.”
This isn’t debate. This isn’t passion. This is deranged, toxic, and downright dangerous behavior from the same people who want to strip law-abiding Minnesotans of their constitutional rights.
No class. No decency. Just pure meltdown when they’re challenged on disarming citizens while criminals roam free.”
Rep. Engen confirmed the vile comments on X, and that it was not only one Democrat lawmaker, writing, “Can confirm. Didn’t have multiple Democrat colleagues yelling at me to ‘go ****** shoot myself’ on my bingo card…”
Republicans have blocked the bill, pointing out that it would criminalize legal firearm ownership while doing little to address criminals who already ignore existing laws.
If passed, HF5140 would:
* Ban the ownership, possession, and sale of semiautomatic “military-style assault weapons” (broadly defined to include many modern sporting rifles).
* Prohibit magazines capable of holding more than 17 rounds.
* Criminalize the manufacture and possession of “ghost guns” (unserialized, privately made firearms).
* Reenact the ban on binary triggers.
* Expand Minnesota’s extreme risk protection order (red flag) law.
* Tighten rules on negligent firearm storage and possession of dangerous weapons in schools.
* Modify reporting requirements for law enforcement firearm discharges.
* Add new restrictions that critics say would limit lawful self-defense rights.
The legislation also appropriates money for implementation and includes other miscellaneous gun-safety provisions.
No formal statements or press releases have been issued yet by House Democratic leadership or Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman regarding the incident.

Show me how lardass
What the democrats were really interested in was “appropriating money for implementation” They could care less about the rest of that bill, and most of them probably don’t comprehend what it says, if they have even read it.
If it was me I’d tell her she’s ugly.
Walter Hudson, Republican Minnesota Rep. from the floor.
Commentary
Same here.
So the bill has no real impact on the validity of the Second Amendment, and therefore Federal law in regards to the right of Minnesotans to keep and bear arms.
Just another isolated call for fraud, waste and abuse.
DFL, the Minnesota term for the Democrat party in that state, evidently stands for “Diversity, Fraud, and Loot”
Its uncanny!
She looked exactly how I expected her to look!
Robert’s Rules of Order, often simply referred to as Robert’s Rules, is a manual of parliamentary procedure by U.S. Army officer Henry Martyn Robert (1837–1923). I don’t know if his conduct is addressed in the book or not.
Agreed. Where there are liberals congregating there are always ole ugly women who should be home, out of sight and washing clothes.
They’re Godless. Their motivation comes from below.
I thought we were supposed to say “quiet piggy”
The politicians who are "tough on guns" are the very same ones who are against enforcing public safety.
democrat toddlers party
That prompted me to go to the article. Now I wish I hadn’t.....
Who would put that person in charge of anything?
rachel levine’s daughter?
We need to repeal the 19th Amendment. It was a horrible mistake.

Wow....he’s good!
