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.

Yep. The only sitting in I’ll be doing is at the gun range preparing for those lone wolf jihadists to act up.

Sure, rats.....go have your sit-in in the middle of Detroit or Chicago, see how loud you can chant. Get all the cameras ready and let the fund raising begin. Oh, and better be ready to duck.

Its so important to teach the children how to think for themselves and to appreciate our values. It’s something they can look to for strength and guidance when they’re barraged with the indoctrination in school. And i too know firsthand that it makes a difference.

It ain’t what it used to be, that’s for sure!

I’m so glad I was raised in a relatively normal family...One Dad and One Mom and a sibling and a dog and a white picket fence around our yard. (Oh, the Horror! THE HORROR! *SMIRK*)

And I’m ALSO glad I’m on the backside of Life. ;)
