House vote 77 – of HJR40   Repeals Rule Restrict Gun Sales to Severely Mentally Ill

Passed 235 to 180.  Republican votes whipped by Steve Scalise.

I feel really badly that Representative Scalise was shot.

Of all the people who have been shot by mentally ill people, Steve Scalise was the only one who had the power to do something about it. He didn’t and that was a choice.  Other people don’t get that choice.

I’ll let them speak for themselves.

Monkey see, monkey do.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

And if you need to buy it, here it is.

I’m sure you’ve heard that Trump has the highest disapproval rating ever!  Sad.

More importantly –

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.  

This morning at 9:20, New York Republican Congressman already had the cause of this morning’s shooting.

New York Rep. Chris Collins told WBEN radio that Democrats should “tone down” their rhetoric.

“The finger-pointing, the angst, the anger directed at Donald Trump and his supporters … some people react to those things,” he said.

Kinda makes you wonder where the hell he’s been since 2008.  Did he see even one Trump rally?  Does he know what “Lock her up!” means?

And offered without comment:

I’m sure there will be more today.

I will offer without comment Louie Gohmert’s observations about James Comey and Robert Mueller, Loretta Lynch, Donald Trump, the lions down in Africa, godfathers, the Doobie Brothers, Russia, Fitzgerald, waffles, purging training manuals, Hillary Clinton, hula dancing, Hillary Clinton, hammers, and yoga. Okay, so I made some of that up.  But not much.  All in three and a half minutes.
