House Dems, Republicans nearly come to blows during sit-in for gun control
Source: WBAY, ABC affiliate in Green Bay, WI
Democrats and Republicans nearly came to blows on the House floor during an extraordinary protest for a vote on gun control legislation.
Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas approached the Democrats and yelled, Radical Islam! Democratic Rep. Corrine Brown of Florida started yelling back at him. The two came within inches of each other, both yelling.
Lawmakers from both parties separated the two.
The Democrats halted the days legislative session with their sit-in and protest. Republicans have struggled to force the House back into session.

(5,901 posts)And one of the meanest. He's from the "Deep South" area of Texas heavily populated by Georgians burned off their land by Sherman's March to the Sea, who moved west to familiar red dirt country in East Texas. Gohmert even gives the Klan a worse reputation by association with him. And he was a judge. As we say in Liberal Texas, those people live behind The Pine Curtain.

But we're tired of mass killings by solo gunman. WTF do we need to say and for how long can we continue going on with lunatics buying weapons of mass destruction. The GOP has blood on their hands tonight.

(14,776 posts)No one can accuse a Republican of even being smart about how they attack back. You'd think they would be concentrating on the so-called slippery slope defense, where even one small iota of gun control means the next day Obama would be sitting in the White House surrounded by all of Americans guns he had just seized.
Instead he wants to highlight the danger of radicalized Islamic terrorists....like the one that just shot up a nightclub? And you won't be doing anything about even doing the minimum of a "no fly, no buy" policy? Stupid is as stupid does.

(26,136 posts)The Dems are trying to stop radical Islamist from getting guns and Repugs wants them to have guns. Can't have a war if the other side isn't armed, so this is important to Repugs. Gohmert is such an asshat.
