Democrats heckle Ryan on House floor day after Orlando nightclub massacre
Fox News.com ^ | June 14, 2016

Posted on 06/14/2016 1:15:31 PM PDT by Kaslin

The debate over how to stop attacks like the terror massacre in Orlando erupted on the House floor late Monday as Democratic lawmakers loudly criticized House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and other GOP leaders for taking no action on the nation’s gun laws.

The disruption underscored the political divide in the wake of the attack, with many Democrats looking to tighten gun laws in response and Republicans looking to crack down on the strain of radical Islam that seemingly motivated the shooter.

The flare-up on the floor erupted when Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., attempted to ask Ryan when bills curbing gun use would be considered after the House paused for 16 seconds to honor those killed in the terror attack.

Clyburn was going to note that Friday is the one-year anniversary of the Charleston, S.C. mass shooting. Before Clyburn could finish, Ryan ruled his question out of order and directed the House to move to the next vote.

Some protested by leaving the House floor during a moment of silence honoring the victims, while other Democrats yelled "Where's the bill?" and "No leadership!"

Gun laws need to go away.

Coincidentally, so do all the muslims.

The GOP is the party of cowardly lions.

They won’t stand behind Trump.

Tells you all you need to know about them and then some.

According to Dem’s 6,000,000 Jews were killed in Germany because there were not enough gun laws.

If the Dems have it their way, you and I will be disarmed but the Mateens and Mohammeds can rack up the body count.

Our leaders first concern isn’t with our safety.

So, once we ban all weapons & terrorists keep murdering, can we then ban terrorists?
Their argument makes no sense & guess it’s not supposed to..talking points only for the low info voter.

When I was quite liberal I too thought it was appalling for people to have guns. Now I know that the criminals will ALWAYS have access to firearms, so law abiding citizens should too. Also, if you are protected 24/7 by armed bodyguards, don’t you dare tell the little people they can’t have guns.

If WE the American People would QUIT re electing these ‘spineless sissies’ to ‘sewer city’ we might be able to calm down enough to have an adult conversation about OUR government...

As long as there are people like Hussein and Clinton RICO mafia crime family involved, this is what your going to get!!!

The first and only gun law should be that every person wishing to buy a gun must rip a page out of a Koran and wipe their ass with it.

Corollary: Test for Middle Eastern refugees to enter United States - step on a Koran with your shoes on.

Reference the fumi-e in Japan to root out Christianity.

This quote is from the Daily Caller article...

The report instructs the DHS to "Develop a curriculum in partnership with the Department of Education and education experts and non-profits to disseminate to schools, teaching children appropriate online etiquette to mitigate online hate."

So in other words, our kids are going to continue to be instructed on virtues of Islam and how Islam alone is above reproach. If you care about your children, get them out of the Islamic Indoctrination centers we call "Public School" in America.

Agreed! And if you observe the scapegoat reaction to the Orlando Massacre, it is quite evident that Christians are becoming to America, what the Jews were to NAZI Germany

Clyburn is a low IQ affirmative action racist clown. He represents the Clown District in South Carolina.
