It used to be if you were a convicted felon, you lost your right to vote for the rest of your life. Now, they hold office and sponsor legislation!!!!! Idiocracy!

[raybbr]

Bobby Rush is therefore just another common criminal and jailbird who resents the fact that law-abiding people can own the means with which to protect themselves from terroristic violence.

Ummm... That's the point. They don't want anyone to be able to stop the reparations.

[mainestategop]

Future Candidate 2012 for the Democrat party I imagine.

[bmwcyle]

Bobby is a worthless piece of crap.

[DuncanWaring]

Is this just based on the sponsorship of HR45, or is it in response to the weekend’s events in Oakland?

[Logical me]

So what's new coming out of IL. Same old garbage.

[Fiddlstix]

The United States does not need advice from a convicted felon and an associate of cop-killers to tell it how to reduce violent crime.

Well Said!

[Cheetahcat]

Why do these Black supremacist's have any voice in a free society.

I called Rush’s office in D.C. about his legislation. When I asked whether Bobby Rush, who used to be a Black Panther when they were known for carrying guns, thought that it was confusing for him to disarm americans. The woman who responded to me immediately said that this would help law enforcement, who favored the Bill.

She then asked whether Iwould be questioning this if I had a loved one who had been killed by a firearm. I responded that that had nothing to do with the proposed legislation. She slammed the phone down.

Bobby Rush is a hypocrite and a threat to every law abiding gun owner in this country. Basically is now a fascist and while he won’t get this piece of legislative garbage through Congress, his intention isclear.

That Nancy “Nutty” Pelosi has already urged that they move away from gun control because she remembers what happened to Democrats when bill Clinton tried this, suggests that Democrats under her control will not vote for this measure.

Rush is a fool for even proposing this piece of trash, but the people who vote for him in his district are the same one who voted for Obama. They are too ignorant to understand the implications of what Rush is trying to do.

[ozzymandus]

No surprise. Criminals love gun control, and Rush is a convicted criminal.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

My favorite quote about this malarkey comes from another convicted felon, Gordon Liddy. He said that since he is a convicted felon, he's not going to buy a gun from a gun show or dealer. He's going to see Rocco who he met in the joint and buy one out of a car trunk. A million laws can't stop such transactions.

[Joe Brower]

Criminals will now dictate the freedoms allowed the law abiding.

If anyone needed any more proof that the foxes are running the chicken coop nowadays, look no further.

who listens to a convicted felon.

[El Gato]

Representative Bobby Rush (D-IL), a former Black Panther and a convicted felon whose illegal possession of firearms lost him his own right to own firearms

It really chaps my a$$ that guys (or gals) like this can even be CongressCritters.

Which is more dangerous, a single felon with a gun, or a felon making law at the federal level? I'd say the lawmaker. You can shoot the felon with a gun, if he does anything to deserve it, but unless he "serves" your district, you can't do jack shiite about a rogue Congressman.

[dforest]

After reading this crap around here today, if we submit to all of this BS, we deserve what we get.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Once a communist street thug, always a communist street thug. That’s the Chicago way. Just as Rahm Emanuel. He’s the man!
