Updated: The Washington Examiner is reporting that on Wednesday at 12:15 p.m., House Democrats led by Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer will demand a vote on gun control by holding up photos of “victims of gun violence” while they stand at the microphone to ask for action.
Described as a “protest,” the action is a political shot at the Republican leadership, and sure to get some air time on the afternoon news broadcasts from coast to coast. Democrats are making gun control a central issue in their campaign, following the lead of presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton. |

| Nothing the Dems propose would have done anything to prevent any of the past mass shootings or terrorist attacks. They know this. What they're after is a vote down so that when another attack occurs, which inevitably it will, they will point to the down vote and say "see, this is all the Republican's fault." |

| These people do not use rational thought so its no use explaining the facts. They are stuck on stupid and will vote for it to find out what's in it. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
