Grijalva is a typical POS. I don’t understand how they can do this. This is a 10th Amendment issue and this is nothing more than an attempt by the federal government to bully the states.
Imagine if the Republicans tried this. There would be outrage on the nightly news. It also goes to show that Democrats would rather you be forced from your home and ran into a corner before being allowed to defend yourself.
Looks like they just decided to pull out…for now. Quickest retraction in history? The two articles from Washington times are timestamped less than 5 hours apart.

Good. But they’ll be back.
Rep. Keith Ellison, Minnesota Democrat, said he will still try to force a debate at a more “appropriate” time in the future, saying action is demanded by the case of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager who police said was shot dead in a street encounter with a neighborhood watch volunteer.

Is it just me, or is anyone else sick & tired of hearing these U.S. “representatives” making political hay over state laws in another state? Or mayors doing likewise? Hey, I’ve got an idea! Why don’t you all STFU and worry about what’s going on in YOUR state? If you represent Minnesota, what fucking business is it of yours to worry about state laws in Florida? Don’t like their laws? Don’t go there!
Some of these dickheads need to be reminded of their place in the grand scheme of things. :mad:
‘Shoot-first’ laws have already cost too many lives. In Florida alone, deaths due to self-defense have tripled since the law was enacted’
“According to the figures released today by the FBI, the estimated number of violent crimes in 2010 declined for the fourth consecutive year…”

Hmmmmmm…:rolleyes:
Pussies.
That says it all right there! Though my wife would have used the “C” word.
You guys must have not got the memo. To be a good global citizen you must first realize that you have the right to be a victim of a violent crime and secondly that you should never prevent harm to yourself by violent means as you should solely depend upon the government for your protection.
Sounds crazy, huh? This is exacty what many want us to become.
