Massachusetts U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton says he will not participate in a moment of silence on the House floor after 50 people were killed in Las Vegas and more than 400 others were sent to area hospitals in the deadliest mass shooting in American history.
The Democratic congressman, along with his Bay State colleague Katherine Clark, also did not participate in a moment of silence after a mass shooting in Orlando claimed the lives of 49 people in June 2016. The two joined other Democratic representatives to walk out on the moment of silence in a protest over a lack of gun control.
“Fully Automatic Weapons ARE Illegal already.”
NO, they are not illegal.
It’s the Congressional equivalent of taking a knee.

I thought the same thing. The left will politicize EVERYTHING and anything. It’s not a tragedy for them, it’s an opportunity. Shameless.
“I looked at this jerk’s bio—it says he was a Marine Corps officer. That’s hard to believe.”
No, it’s true. And I can’t take that away from him. However, he has strayed from the code of “Death before Dishonor” and has dishonored not only himself but me and all of my fellow citizens of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. There are some things in this world that men cannot forgive; only the Good Lord can.
Clearly the left is itching for violence against us. I am not giving up my firearms.
It will make it easier for their colleagues to beat them with a cane.
All this guy needs to do is drive a few miles from Capitol Hill in some neighborhoods of SE DC or Georgia Ave., NW after midnight.
He needs to get out of the car and walk around a bit.
After one hour he will _really_ wish he had a gun on him.

Is it even possible for a sane person to believe that?
Or Moulton could present a paper on places in the United States where gun control has worked? (hasn't worked any place I've heard of...)... Moulton could debate John Lott... so many options OTHER than picking up your ball and going home because you didn't get your way.
