House Dem: 'Turn in your guns' ( Sheila Jackson Lee)
The Hill ^ | 12-19-12 | Pete Kasperowicz

Posted on 12/19/2012 2:47:25 PM PST by Mozilla

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Wednesday afternoon urged people to turn in their guns, arguing it would be an appropriate response to last week's mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.

"I would personally just say to those who are listening, maybe you want to turn in your guns," Jackson Lee said on the House floor. "Oh no, I'm not going to take your guns. But look at what Dick's Sporting Goods did ... they wanted to be part of the solution and part of America."

When I read what Dick’s Sporting Goods change in policy, I already decided I will never go back to that store to purchase anything again.

Cheaperthandirt stopped selling firearms online too...I think they started back up today but screw them for caving in the first place. I will never buy from either company.

“I think Dick’s is making a BIG mistake.”

Just a guess here, but I wonder if the shooter’s mother bought her guns at Dick’s. There is one in the Danbury Mall which is about 10 minutes from Newtown. I live about 25 miles from there. Maybe Dick’s knows this and wants to get out in front of the story.

You first, Sheila. Lead by example instead of just using your (stupid) words!

Demokrats always give their opinions when it comes to gun control while, at the same time, the PUBS remain silent on this subject.

That’s why I no longer support the GOP. What a bunch of useless eunuchs.

The day I listen to anything that sub-species Sheila Jackson Lee says will be the day I need to be committed to the booby hatch.

Nothing says inferiority like Sheila Jackson Lee.

I want to go on record that IMO she is not a part of the human race but some mutant lessor sub-specie with an IQ in the single digits. I sure hope she has not reproduced (but fear she has).

I agree, send all your guns to Graybeard58. If I get too many to keep at home, I’ll rent storage lockers.

“Graybeard Guns Inc.” Has a nice ring to it.

Guns prevent rape too.

I have a neat graphic I could post concerning that very thing. If only my Photobucket account hadn't taken a crap on me.

It changed into a "library" format, no HTML to copy. I have been trying for days to change it back and can't figure it out.

My g/daughter has an account there too and her's hasn't changed at all. Anybody out there having the same problem or know how to fix it?

This from the woman who asked NASA, while looking at pictures from the Mars rover, “Can we see where the astronauts put the American flag?”

She and congressman Hank "Guam might tip over" Johnson should get together and have a "see who is the stupidest" contest.

I agree with you. I'm 67 years old and not about to engage in a fist or knife fight with someone who is 1/3 my age and twice my size. Make it a gun fight and I will at least have an equal chance.

Never been, now I never will.

That's where I am too. A new one opened not too far from me a while back, I had been meaning to check it out. I won't bother now.

Makes me wonder what the people who run these places are thinking, when they deliberately piss off there very customer base.

"... maybe you want to turn in your guns"

Shitler, when I think of scumbags commies like you it is more like " maybe you want to turn in on your guns".
