Speaker Ryan AWOL as Dems Take over House Floor in Anti-Gun Rights Media Stunt
Breitbart ^ | June 22,2016 | by NEIL W. MCCABE

Posted on 06/22/2016 1:52:48 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Breitbart News reached out the Speaker Ryan, the House Sergeant-at-Arms and the House Ethics Committee for comment. There was no official response at deadline.

The move in the House echoes action in the Senate, where Republican leaders have broken with the National Rifle Association and have agreed to bring legislation authored by Sen. Susan Collins (R.-Maine) up for a vote before recess for Independence Day celebrations. The Collins bill would allow the federal government to block gun sales to Americans, whose names are entered into the No-Fly List or the Select List of persons highlighted for enhanced surveillance.

There is no public record of the government’s Terror Screening Database, nor is there a standard for putting someone in the database or removing someone from the database–neither is there any notice given to an individual that they are in the database.

When Capitol Hill conservatives heard Tuesday that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.) agreed to bring the Collins bill to the floor, they assumed they could rely on the House Republican Leadership to hold the line. Now, they are worried because Ryan often succumbs to Democratic tactics and he is on the record telling conservative activists that fighting Obama over gun rights was a distraction.

The Republican version of the Collins bill, HR 5544, was filed by Rep. David Jolly (R.-Fla.).

Not anti-Islamic Terror
Not anti-Urban Gun Violence
Not anti-Bad Trade Deals
Not anti-Illegals Stealing American Jobs

Just anti-2nd Amendment, punish law abiding American’s

American’s have no representation, only corrupt cowards trying to throw us to the wolves.

Our government is a total failure.

The time has come to go in a different direction.

This was Ryan deliberately making the floor available to Pelosi. What happened was what Ryan wanted to happen.
Ditch the GOPe’s pathetic princeling, Paul Ryan.

There is an alternative.

Make it Happen!

Vote Paul Nehlen August 9

Ryan should have the Sergent-at-arms have the DemonRAT gun grabbers moved off the House floor. Now! They want to destroy the 2nd Amendment and Ryan has the power to defend the 2nd Amendment. Impeachment of the coward is in order.

"Republicans don't want the spectacle of the sergeant-at-arms removing Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., a civil rights icon, from the House floor."

If Ryan had any balls at all, he'd have the sergeant-at-arms foot up John Lewis's ass leading to the door. Right now.

Yup. Ryan doesn’t run the House, apparently.

I just got an email form Ryan asking for donations. I basically told him to take a hike (unsubscribe by email) and that I hoped Paul Nehlen Cantor'd him in his primary race. That he is a lousy adversary of the Democrat Party, who in fact I believe to be an enabler, supporter, and cheerleader for them.

Go Trump!!! Dump Ryan!!!

I wonder how quickly I will get another email with the same request for me. After all, we know he doesn't really pay attention to what his base wants.

Wow. Whiney, spoiled little brats. They act like idiots, and expect people to take them seriously.

Turn off the power and the air conditioning and the cameras.

Declare them out of order, shut down and go home.

This is insane.

Ah. I heard he shut down the house after the vote.

Ryan deserves some credit after all.
