No, I am an American from the Northern Hemisphere, and I don't believe in kangaroo courts. I am still waiting for Lt. Michael Byrd, who shot Ashley Babbitt, an unarmed female Veteran in the head, to be charged with murder. She was not nearly as dangerous as George Floyd.

Lee Eaton

Just a bunch of blowhards getting face time in front of cameras.

Lisa Gore

It’s a fake narrative wasting our tax money and time!

James Smith

It is just political drama from the libtards

Judy Lepin

There was no insurrection. People were escorted in by the Capitol police as if they were on a tour. Making a mountain out of a mole hill. They should have had more security. This is what the Democrats wanted to happen. Not interested.

What would happen if I didn't do my job?

k san

We elected them to do their jobs. If they are not doing their jobs, why should they be allowed to run for future office?? Who would want someone in office who doesn't work for the people who elected them??

Clancy Prentice

It's their job. If you don't show up to your job do you still have a job? I can almost guarantee you won't unless you're a politician.

Dieter Heinzer

It's called accountability and responsibility. They are PAID to do a job, and though most SUCK at their job, the least they can do is show up!

Dianne Price

If they're still getting paid!!

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

Tired of them getting a 3 figure salary and then they do not do their darn job!

If they are elected by the people that is our fault if we vote for them again maybe there needs to be easier access to what they actually do when they work ad what they have done.

I voted for this side due to the fact that way too many individuals are allowed to purchase/possess firearms when they have no legal right; nor ability; to do so.

Max DeYoung

Schumer blocks Senate GOP school safety bill. Democrats don't want laws that work, they want death and mayhem.

Max DeYoung

People who have no legal right to possess firearms can not pass a background check. ATF Form 4473 - Firearms Transaction Record Revisions. Please educate yourself.

Bonnie Sandker

That should have been done after the Sandy Hook tragedy. Also, limit the age when a person can buy a gun. No sales of assault weapons to anyone under 25 and then with a thorough background check. Stop the killing of innocent children.

Mark Cunningham

Assault weapons are already banned. These automatic weapons are for military use only.. Democrats want to ban semi-automatic weapons, but like to call them assault weapons because it sounds more deadly. In truth, they consider any weapon that will have an automatic reload to be an assault weapon.

Max DeYoung

I had already served six years in the U S Navy when I turned 25. Your reasoning is less than that of a child.

Max DeYoung

There is no such thing as an assault weapon. Assault is a physical attack, performed by a person or an animal. A weapon used, is only a tool being used in the physical attack. That could even be a pillow used to smother someone. Do you have assault pillows in your home? Please educate yourself.

Adam

Funny how quick they are to protect the lives of embryos because "life matters" yet 10 year olds get slaughtered by an 18 year old that can buy guns and it's political. Disgusting yet predictable hypocrisy among conservatives

Mark Cunningham

Adam, are you saying you are pro-life on the abortion issue or are you as big of an hypocrite as your post indicates?

Max DeYoung

We are living in a world where Governors are signing bills requiring students to use bathrooms aligned with their biological sex at birth, to protect themselves from the sins of the Left.

Max DeYoung

Funny how you are so dense.

Does anybody actually think this would stop the nightly shootings, by felons in Columbia using stolen forearms? No, I don't think so either. People who legally purchase firearms, are not the people committing crimes with firearms. Why not start holding the criminals responsible?

Mark Cunningham

This is nothing more than a political grandstand in an effort to win votes. The bill will do little to stem violence and is only for politicians to use at election time. The Democrats are taking a tragedy and using it to get their agenda passed without any proof the bill would make a difference.

Max DeYoung

Yes, the Dems are acting true to form, untrustworthy and immoral. The only change they make, is for the worse.
