Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday on new gun control legislation Democrats plan to push on the American people. The top Republican on the committee, Doug Collins, R-Ga., asked committee Democrats if I could testify about this legislation in an appropriate setting to offer another perspective as both a survivor of a shooting attack and strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights. But the Democrats said no. While liberals may try to silence conservative voices, I will not be silenced. The American people deserve to hear all perspectives. Here is the testimony I planned to give:
Statement for the Record
Republican Whip Steve Scalise
House Committee on the Judiciary
February 6, 2019
My name is Steve Scalise. I am the Congressman for Louisiana’s 1st District. I am the Republican Whip. I am also a target of gun violence.
Many of you may be familiar with the events of June 14, 2017. Around 7:00 AM, at the last morning practice before the annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity, an Illinois man named James Hodgkinson opened fire on myself and a group of Republican legislators and volunteers on an Alexandria, Va. baseball field.
Fortunately, as a member of House leadership, I was accompanied by my Capitol Police security detail who were able to return fire and engage the shooter until additional law enforcement officers arrived and ultimately took down the shooter. I was shot and nearly fatally wounded, and both of my detail agents were shot as well. I am alive today thanks to the bravery of U.S. Capitol Police and the Alexandria Police, heroes like Congressman Brad Wenstrup and the first responders who rushed to the scene, the incredible medical team at Washington MedStar Hospital Center, and most importantly the grace of God.

Full title: Rep. Steve Scalise: Democrats don't want you to hear what I have to say about guns and the Second Amendment
Ping!
The House has gone full fascist.
They sure have, especially with the Dem Com Chairmen.
congress works for we the people and we the people want Steve to testify!
Their minds are already made up. No amount of evidence will change that. That is why they are liberals. “Don’t confuse me with the facts.” They are just looking for justification to write new laws and make it appear as if they are doing something - even if that something is useless at best and damaging at worst. They also assume that their continued pressure will wear us down and we will accept whatever they want to give us.
I’ve said it before kiddies. We are in a war for this Republic. And as the man once wisely said, “In war there is no substitute for victory”
Excellent read. The truth is out there but the Democrats aren’t having it.
The donkeys preach tolerance 24/7...they just won’t tolerate another opinion or even listen to it.
They will compromise. Toss them all in a giant melting pot and no one can ever have one again. Easy. F ‘em.
Correct, the vast majority of them will keep chipping away at the 2nd Amendment.
I bought Rep. Scalise’s book, “Back in the Game: One Gunman, Countless Heroes, and the Fight for My Life”, although I haven’t read it yet.

The DemonCRAP Party that has shown that they do not recognize or 2nd Amendment rights and the value of human life most certainly would repeat the extermination camps of the Nazi Regime. Their justification would be they are the superior culture and all others need to die. The man who opened fire on the House Republicans at that baseball game gave away the Left’s true intent. History repeats itself.

The young and not so young Socialists/Communist in our Congress and Senate are a threat as deadly as the Bubonic plague in CA, probably elsewhere that is being covered up.....Socialism is out in the open now and its proponents are moving fast with their propaganda ... President Trump did well to call those Socialists out in his SOTU speech. Those politicians swore to protect that document, swore an oath to protect our Constitution. Women like Stacey Abrams who accused President Trump of lying throughout his speech, should be sued for libel. Ms Abrams is an very dangerous anti-Republic adversary. Abrams probably knows little American history, she speaks of ‘our Democracy’...we are a Republic. There are a lot of dolts in office that make that same mistake.
Well said...It’s astonishing how little many know about our nation that are elected to Congress.
I got a feeling the time is coming when they’ll hear Americans Lima Charlie. King Georgie the III did.
Year by year, I see that time rapidly approaching.
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to infringes upon or victories for the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
