The War on Rifles: The Reps Who Voted For And Against It

Seven politicians voted against their party on the House assault weapons ban. Democrats want to make the issue of guns part of the get-out-the-vote effort. They passed the bill, knowing it won’t pass in the Senate. The vote (see below) might surprise you.

It seems pretty clear democrats do want to disarm us. Given the new domestic terrorism warnings and accusations that the FBI was beefing up so-called domestic terrorism cases, it is deeply concerning that Democrats so desperately want to disarm us.

Watch:

THE LATEST ASSAULT ON GUNS

The Democrats call rifles assault weapons and weapons of war to make it easier to convince people to cancel guns.

On Friday, the House passed a bill to ban assault weapons owned by legal gun owners. It won’t help end mass shootings by insane youth. What would help is getting reports of extreme misbehavior and threats in high school into the FBI database so those youth don’t get to buy guns. Every one of these mass shooters had made severe threats in high school.

According to Prof. John Lott’s research, the last assault weapons ban didn’t accomplish anything.

According to the official tally, the measure passed mostly along party lines; two Republicans and five Democrats broke with their parties on the vote.

Republican Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Chris Jacobs of New York cast votes in favor of the ban alongside 215 Democratic colleagues.

Jacobs, whose western New York district includes suburban Buffalo, announced in June he would not seek reelection as he faced backlash for his support of gun control measures.

The five Democrats to vote “no” on the bill alongside 208 Republicans were Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Vicente Gonzalez of Texas, Ron Kind of Wisconsin, and Kurt Schrader of Oregon.

Democrats are making the country far more dangerous with their lax crime enforcement, sanctuaries, open borders, and attacks on Christianity, police, and white people. We need our guns.

Down here is Mississippi, Rep. Bennie Thompson, has been big on gun control in a State with no license required concealed and open carry. Bennie Thompson’s district has the most crime, the most poverty, and the most Black People in the State. This November, Bennie Thompson is facing Republican Brian Flowers who is a Military Veteran. Bennie Thompson has a NRA grade of “F” in a State with some of the most liberal guns laws in the Nation; a very rural State. It’s interesting that Rep. Bennie Thompson is reportedly the richest man in the State’s 5 member Congressional delegation, but represents the Poorest people in the State. Rep. Bennie Thompson has been a pretty lack luster Representative with little to show for his almost 30 years in Congress.

Traitor Joe and the Democrats have devastated much of the Poor in Mississippi and I believe that if President Trump held a Rally in Bennie Thompson’s District, it would flip the seat Republican. Democrats have done little for Mississippi. In the Democrat 2nd Congressional District stronghold people are losing ground fast and even life long Democrats are looking to the Republicans and President Trump to get America back on the Right Track. People in Mississippi are conservative and very religious. The State is extremely pro-life and the Democrat Party has nothing to offer the People of Mississippi. Nationally, the Media sees the Mississippi 2nd Congressional District as a safe Democrat District, but I’m not seeing it on the ground.

All President Trump would need to do is come to Mississippi and highlight both the Democrat and Rep. Bennie Thompson’s records and it would be an easy flip to Republican.

In contrast, our local sheriff advises on the proper use of “throwaways”.
