Democrats call for 'family sit-ins' on guns

House Democrats on Wednesday plan to stage a "national day of action" against gun violence that will feature "family sit-ins," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced.

Pelosi said the action would "carry forward the momentum" from the Democrats' takeover of the House floor last week. Democratic lawmakers staged a 25-hour sit-in which included attempts to disrupt the floor schedule and votes.

They demanded the GOP leadership allow consideration of two gun control bills, but relinquished the floor hours after the GOP adjourned the House for a week-long recess.

I’ll be at my range.
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Home, Home on my range,
Where the deer and the antelope fear to stray
Where seldom is heard
a discouraging word
And the skys are not cloudy all day.

Boy sitting in car to girl-
“Turn the radio down, don’t want to wake up your family”
“Oh, that’s okay, Dad is probably cleaning his guns”.
I raised good daughters who knew how to send boys home early.

Evening ends VERY well - and quickly....

We only have one gun in our household, and there are three of us. I’m afraid we cannot all sit on the gun. Besides, it is not the most comfortable object to sit on—kind of hard and bumpy and so forth. We’d rather sit on the sofa.

Oh—oh— they’re calling for a gun sit-IN, not sit-ON.

Nevermind.

Hold your breath and turn blue. I don’t care what you think. That’s the beauty if being armed, I don’t have to care.

You know, when I sit for a movement, it usually doesn’t have anything to do with firearms. Now if you’ll excuse me, I got to take a Pelosi.

Zeke Emanuel, one of the “brains” behind 0bamacare said that there’s no reason for anyone to live past 75. Bernia Sanders is 74, Her Thighness isn’t much younger. Using this train of thought, Nauseating Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John McLame, Charles Rangel and others are well past their “expiration dates”. Perhaps they should set an example for the rest of us, retire and “put their affairs in order”.

Just remember, every AR-15 that's sold makes a liberal's head explode.

Good job.

Anyone who is protected by armed security has no business restricting guns for others.

To heck with that, I’ll have all of the nieces and nephew come over and I’ll break out and empty every gun safe for a good annual cleaning and guns safety refresher. Woohoo!

Has anyone broken it to San Fran Nan that outside of the Beltway nobody has even heard of that little bit of juvenile psychodrama?

I wouldn't think it the best of timing in any case. During the workup to the Fourth of July my little neighborhood takes on an aural resemblance to the Second Battle of the Marne. I honestly don't think finger-shaking gun prohibitionist bluenoses will be all that welcome.
