The implications from last week’s election results are reverberating through the halls of Congress quickly. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing titled How Bump Stocks and Other Conversion Devices are Amplifying the Gun Violence Epidemic, and Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) struck a noticeably different tone than his usual combative anti-Second Amendment style, seeking instead to offer to work together with Republicans in the new Congress when majority control flips sides.
“I hope to be able to work with the new incoming chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley,” said Chairman Durbin.
The chairman, of course, works closely with President Joe Biden’s administration and The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention to carry out the president’s gun control agenda. Remember, President Biden deemed the firearm industry “the enemy” from the debate stage in 2019. The past four years has seen plenty of combative committee hearings where gun control-supportive senators attacked lawful gun owners and the lawful and highly-regulated firearm arm industry.
The subject of the hearing after all was devices that are overwhelmingly used by criminals to commit acts of violence by those skirting existing laws.
Opening Video Déjá Vue
Starting things off to set the tone for the hearing, Chairman Durbin used a favored play call during these gun control hearings. He played a video montage of numerous heinous actions committed by criminals misusing firearms as a way of arguing why more laws are needed on law-abiding Americans.
After the video montage of criminal violence, Chairman Durbin continued his opening remarks.
“Glock switches, which are banned under federal law are cheap, often costing less than $20, and they’ve been increasingly common across our country,” the chairman said. “We must act. Gun manufacturers can and should do more to ensure their products cannot be converted into illegal machine guns. If manufacturers fail to act, Congress should take up legislation to hold these companies liable for the foreseeable consequences of their actions.” Of course, the White House coordinated with Everytown and The City of Chicago to sue Glock under this baseless legal theory; and is the subject of an ongoing congressional investigation.
Chairman Durbin gives away his authority here as he knows well lawful firearm manufacturers cannot and should not be held liable for the criminal actions of unaffiliated remote third parties. This is the cornerstone of American jurisprudence and codified in the bipartisan Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) that countless gun control activists wish to eliminate. The chairman said it himself – these illegal firearm conversion devices like Glock switches are already illegal. Prosecutors need to get tough and hold criminals accountable for committing these horrible crimes.
Key Witnesses Back Enforcement and Constitutional Rights
The hearing on gun violence and conversion devices was scarcely attended due to Republican members holding their new leadership elections, so the committee attendees were only Democratic senators. But behind the witness table were two strong Second Amendment advocates who offered clear and succinct testimony in favor of more law enforcement and protecting Constitutional rights, not more gun control on law-abiding Americans.
Zach Smith is a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and got right to the point during his opening statement.
“Fundamentally, today’s hearing is focused on the wrong solution, aimed at the wrong problem,” Smith stated. “Contrary to the title of today’s hearing, there is not a gun violence epidemic in our country, but there is a violent crime epidemic, and unfortunately, too many elected leaders are refusing to take the simple yet necessary steps needed to combat this crime epidemic, namely funding the police and prosecuting criminals.”
“Often today, criminals are treated as victims and the true victims are the forgotten component when discussing crime, violence and criminal justice reforms,” Smith added.
It’s a familiar feeling in cities across the country where George Soros-funded prosecutors immediately went soft on criminals when they took office and then oversaw dramatic crime surges in there cities. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg comes to mind. So does Los Angeles District Attorney George Gáscon, who was just denied from reelection from voters. Closer to Chairman Durbin’s home of Chicago, Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx realized what voters had in store for her and didn’t seek reelection.
FFL compliance attorney and Second Amendment rights advocate, who has also worked for NSSF, Ryan Cleckner also testified. He echoed similar sentiments as Smith’s prior testimony.
“Now, these conversion devices or Glock switches or auto Sears, they are absolutely machine guns, okay? The National Firearms Act…and later laws like the Gun Control Act says that any parts that can be used to convert a firearm into a machine gun are also a firearm,” Cleckner explained. “They’re already heavily regulated. They’re already completely illegal. The ATF is already going outta the way to enforce this rise that we have with them being used.”
“I think the way that we solve this problem is not to make an item more illegal. Because it’s status of being a significantly illegal item does nothing apparently to stop these criminals from using them,” Cleckner said. “I think what’s gonna stop their use is if we actually prosecute the criminals that are using these illegal items.”
Root Cause Ignored
As mentioned, the hearing was shorter than normal and only a few senators attended to ask questions. But there was a common theme coming from their questions – ignoring the criminals. U.S. Senators Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) both remarked and criticized the PLCAA that protects the firearm industry from being held responsible for the actions of criminals.
The other gun control witnesses focused on many of the same talking points as well – ignoring the criminals committing the crimes, blaming the firearm industry for criminal firearm misuse and pushing more gun control restrictions on law-abiding Americans.
With a new Republican Senate majority taking over in January 2025, as well as the House of Representatives staying in Republican control and President-elect Donald Trump returning to The White House too, policy discussions in Washington will likely return again to focusing on safeguarding Constitutional rights like the Second Amendment and getting back to holding criminals accountable for their violent actions.
Of course they’re ready to be “bipartisan.” It’s a game they play. Republicans usually go along with it. Why? Because Republican legislators don’t like to wield power. They like to hold things steady until the Dems take power and begin moving the ball again. Voters got tired of that. They voted for change. We’ll see if any of it actually happens.

Part of me was hoping globalist swamp rats were going to get tossed into that industrial shredder parked out in front of the DOJ. I can dream.
Dreaming ist verboten! We must work tirelessly to free the masses by enslaving them! Arbeit macht Frei!
How big this shredder? Asking for friend.
It’s big enough to shred evidence before the next administration comes in.
“globalist swamp rats“
Like foreign-born globalist billionaire Elon Musk?
Or anchor-baby billionaire globalist Vivek Ramaswamy?
How about disgusting c.ild-mo.es.ing communist progressives? The left is full of them.

No, that would be Donald Trump‘s nominee for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz:
“Federal Inquiry Traced Payments From Gaetz to Women
A document prepared by federal investigators bolsters claims by women who say they were hired for sex by Matt Gaetz
Michael S. Schmidt
By Michael S. Schmidt
Published Nov. 20, 2024
Updated Nov. 21, 2024, 8:27 a.m. ET
Federal investigators have established a web of payments among Matt Gaetz and dozens of friends and associates who are said to have taken part with him in drug-fueled sex parties, according to a document obtained by The New York Times.
Among those who received money from Mr. Gaetz were two women who have testified that he hired them for sex, according to the document and a lawyer for the two women. The lawyer said payments to the women ultimately totaled around $10,000.”
Sadly, it seems the only way MAGA conservatives like Donald Trump and Matt Gaetz can get laid is by paying women.
Trump never paid Stormy for sex. He paid her extortion fee years after the affair because he was running for president, and she saw dollar signs. She extorted the money, then ran to the press to make more money off of it. Trump deserved that for what he did, but let’s be honest about what happened.
MajorLiar,
Awww, is our wittle Leftist/fascist all butthurt because American voters kicked his idiot, Leftist/fascist ideology to the curb????
Sucks to be a Leftist/fascist, dunnit, MajorIdiot. Unless all your fellow Leftist/fascists have bought out your local CVS, maybe you should put some Preparation H on that butthurt.
Looks like we’re going to see four (maybe 12??) years of Leftist/fascist idiots (YOU can just look in the mirror!) melting down in real time. And, mirabile dictu, Trump (the “End of Democracy”) was DEMOCRATICALLY elected. Won the EC, won the popular vote, had enough coattails to win the Senate AND add a seat to his margin in the House.
Heh. HEH! HAHAHAHAHA . . . you pathetic loser. We put up with eight years of Billy Zipperpants, eight years of Black Chicago Jesus, and four years of the fumbling idiot Senile Joe (who was an idiot before he became senile); you Leftist/fascists are just gonna have to suck it up through another four years of DJT – and maybe, just maybe, four years of Vance/DeSantis???
Sucks to be you, dunnit, MajorIdiot.
Lies and more lies. Your mantra never changes, Commie.
Trying so hard and nothing really catching on. Tick tock you’re running out of clock
I agree with you Miner that people shouldn’t be granted citizenship just because they were born here. Your parents should be citizens, or you have to apply. Citizenship should be a select, highly vetted process. No net drain (that cost us a dime) people will be allowed, except in extreme situations, like WW3. We have too many here already. Implement that and watch us thrive.
“I agree with you Miner that people shouldn’t be granted citizenship just because they were born here“
Nope never said that, implicitly or explicitly, you’re just making up lies.
Typical.
I found it amusing that, after preaching against the ‘wealthy globalist elites’, conservative Republicans now are bowing down to a foreign-born billionaire globalist elite, in fact The Richest Man in the World.
“Your parents should be citizens, or you have to apply“
So Donald Trump, with his Scotland-born mom, should not automatically be a citizen?
Well, that’s a refreshing position!
I concur, he should be stripped of his citizenship immediately.
And JD Vance’s kids, clearly anchor babies for their mom, should be stripped of their citizenship as well, right?
I really like the way this is all turning out, and now that Donald Trump has publicly stated that tranzz folks should be able to use whatever bathroom they feel most comfortable in, we’ll soon have a Woke White House in reality:
“North Carolina did something that was very strong. And they’re paying a big price. There’s a lot of problems,” the Republican presidential candidate said during a town hall event on NBC’s “Today.”
Referring to comments from an unnamed commentator who on Wednesday said North Carolina should “leave it the way it is right now,” Trump said he agreed.
“Leave it the way it is. North Carolina, what they’re going through with all the business that’s leaving, all of the strife — and this is on both sides. Leave it the way it is,” he said, referring to companies that have canceled plans to move or expand businesses in the state as a result of the law, which bans transgender individuals from using a bathroom that does not match their gender at birth.
“There have been very few complaints the way it is. People go. They use the bathroom that they feel is appropriate,” Trump said. “There has been so little trouble. And the problem with what happened in North Carolina is the strife and the economic — I mean, the economic punishment that they’re taking.”
Matt Lauer then asked whether Trump has any transgender people working for his company.
“I really don’t know. I probably do. I really don’t know,” Trump said, answering that he would allow, say, transgender celebrity Caitlyn Jenner to use whatever bathroom she wanted at Trump Tower.“
“Nope never said that, implicitly or explicitly, you’re just making up lies.”
You absolutely *did* say that implicitly. I could practically hear you turn and spit after you uttered the words ‘anchor baby.’ Are you now pretending like that was a compliment? No. Stop being so disingenuous, also known as a liar. Try being consistent for once in your life.
I see you’re also railing against Orange Hitler being too accepting of tranz people. I thought the alphabet crowd was in fear for their lives since the fascist won? Why would they be so afraid? It’s almost like they drank the Kool-Aid and believed the fearmongering propaganda. Isn’t it funny how the incoming “xenophobic” president and vp both married immigrants or children of immigrants? It’s almost like you guys are liars.
Miner49er sucks those Dick Durbin’s on the regular.
Ya mean like anchor baby Kamala Harris?
By virtue of her birth in California, Harris is a natural-born U.S. citizen. But her parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of her birth.
About 228,000 ‘anchor babies’ have been born to illegal aliens in the U.S. in these last two years of the Biden-Harris created the intentionally open and insecure border. Are they not Ok to you Miner49er? After all you went on and on with your looser mental illness TDS and ranting support of the Biden-Harris intentionally open and insecure border and the illegals crossing it, and now ‘anchor babies’ are not Ok to you?
And how about George Soros, longtime Democratic megadonor billionaire. He was born in Budapest, Hungary.
Ya sure didn’t seem to think anything was wrong with him as you championed violent radical left wing democrat causes he donated to.
So ‘anchor baby’ marx -ist soci- alist Kamala Harris and foreign-born globalist marx -ist socia -list billionaire George Soros who helped the Biden-Harris admin create unnecessary bloat and waste in government so they could print more money we could not afford are OK with you Miner49er…
but two guys who are also American citizens who want to get involved in helping streamline government saving us billions of $$$ a year by getting rid of the un-necessary bloat and waste created by the Biden-Harris admin so they could print more money we can’t afford, that’s not ok.
Yep, looks like the majority of American voters voted ‘anchor baby’ Kamala Harris and some other democrats out of office to get rid of the globalist swamp rats.
“And how about George Soros, longtime Democratic megadonor billionaire. He was born in Budapest, Hungary“
False equivalence.
No American president has ever appointed George Soros to any position within the American government.
as opposed to Donald Trump appointing both foreign-born billionaire globalist Elon Musk and anchor baby billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy to “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies”.
Really, Donald Trump is doing a lot of things you conservative Republicans may find objectionable. He even thinks forcing folks to use only certain bathrooms is discrimination:
“You know, there’s a big move to create new bathrooms. Problem with that is for transgender, that would be—first of all, I think that would be discriminatory in a certain way. That would be unbelievably expensive for businesses in the country. Leave it the way it is.”
False equivalence Miner49er.
Being appointed to a government position and being involved in a government position is only a difference of words.
Soros was part of the ‘soft coup’ on Biden, he was some of the funding behind Harris. He was for a fact involved in a government position, and didn’t need to be appointed to have an effect on a government.
Stop it with your lying and misdirection and disingenuous Miner49er. Your side lost the election so go cry someplace else.
“He was for a fact involved in a government position“
Really, perhaps you would be kind enough to show the announcement from an American president appointing George Soros.
You got nothing, again false equivalence.
George Soros, like any American citizen, has a right to expressed his opinion about our elections and to make donations.
Remember, that’s the citizens United decision you conservatives are so pleased with.
40 ounce, “Stop it with your lying“.
No crying here, I’m making popcorn.
But I can offer you tariffs and prayers.
“Really, perhaps you would be kind enough to show the announcement from an American president appointing George Soros.”
I never said he was appointed by an American president.
Miner49er, stop making up lies and learn what context means.
Plus you moron Miner49er, despite the media coverage and wording, Trump has not actually appointed Musk or Ramaswamy to the office.
They will be outside advisers to the federal government, not appointed to an office. Just like Biden did in his administration with thousands of outside advisors across government to spend almost $8 billion to pay them for their input on stupid stuff (like, for example, how many male-female trans people should be allowed in a biological female public restroom before biological females can complain about it – no kidding, this is an actual thing the DEI elements of Biden’s government were planning to try to enact into law in his second term) but they never provided any input or work or advice, some of them not even U.S. citizens. Then there was the almost $12 billion Bidens admin spent on ‘contractors’ to act as ‘inter-government’ advisors who never did anything at all.
Then there is also the White House Office Of Gun Violence Prevention in which ‘outside advisors’ consisting of numerous people from EveryTown and Bloomberg orgs to ‘advise’ them on what to do – and where two of the top people in that office are outside advisers, on the payroll of anti-gun orgs. But they are also paid with U.S. tax dollars and not appointed to the office and not actually government employees yet are creating and enacting government policy and ‘wielding power’ and given title and power as though they are ‘elected officials’ making law.
Musk and Ramaswamy are going to fill their role free of charge to government.
“Ya mean like anchor baby Kamala Harris?“
No, I’m thinking of anchor baby Donald Trump, whose Scotland-born mother compromises his citizenship and makes him subject to deportation under his own policies, fascinating!
Donald Trump’s father, Fred trump, was an anchor-baby whose father was an illegal immigrant, entering the United States under false pretenses because he did not declare he was a fugitive from justice in his native Germany.
Amazing, draft dodging runs in the family, hilarious!
You are LYING (again)… Mary Trump was a naturalised citizen from Scotland in 1942, after having lived here since 1930.
His grandfather, Frederick Trump, immigrated from Bavaria in 1885, and became a citizen in 1892. He was never an illegal immigrant. He did avoid Prussian/German empire military conscription, and was one of hundreds of thousands fleeing German militarism who did the same. Millions of Americans are descended from “draft dodgers”.
Contrary to the lies of some, his name was never “Drumpf”, a family name that had been changed to Trump in Bavaria in the late 1600’s.
Once again a certain “niner” is exposed as a very partisan liar.
Personally, I am proud of the fact that one of my Irish ancestors snuck in illegally from Canada under an assumed name, in the years before the US civil war (1840’s), a fugitive from what passed for justice in Ireland under English occupation. I suppose that would make him a “draft-dodger” too- or at least, a “rope dodger”.
“I am proud of the fact that one of my Irish ancestors snuck in illegally from Canada under an assumed name“
Outrageous! So all his progeny are illegals, born of a illegal alien.
And of course, now that your family is on the life boat, time to pull up the rope…
See, I guess that’s where we part ways. I think for those of us whose ancestors made it to America, under whatever conditions, it’s important that we offer that same lifeline to those seeking asylum from the terrible conditions in their home countries.
From those to whom much has been given, much is required.
Or we can just shit on those who come later, “I got mine, screw you!”
I guess that’s the new American (MAGA) Way.
“from the terrible conditions in their home countries”
That isn’t what asylum is for. The world can be a terrible place. We aren’t obligated to welcome in the world’s poor, and put their wants above our own people in need. Dishonest people are taking advantage of a system meant for moral people. Anyone being deported should thank the Puppet and his followers for inviting them. This is your fault, Miner. Illegals should never be granted citizenship. We only want people willing to come in the right way.
so you did mean like anchor baby Kamala Harris after all. Thanks for verifying that.
and apparently you don’t know what ‘anchor baby’ means.
Apparently now it means a couple of generations removed from citizenship. They’re always changing definitions to help them in the moment.
Miner49er is in melt down, hes making up anything he can.
I posted again in reply to his to point out his lies, again, but it went to moderation. But the short of it is this:
It is 100% false that “whose Scotland-born mother compromises his citizenship and makes him subject to deportation under his own policies, fascinating!” > complete with linked information.
And it also is not true that Donald Trump or his father Fred Trump are ‘anchor babies’.
Miner49er scores 100% again for lies.
“It is 100% false that “whose Scotland-born mother compromises his citizenship… “
Of course it is bullshit, it’s sarcasm.
More of that amnesia, you MAGA conservatives forget it was Donald Trump himself who started the birther nonsense, claiming Barack Obama was not a citizen of the United States.
You are outraged because I am just mirroring your values back to you.
Grandpa Trump was an illegal alien, he was a fugitive from justice when he unlawfully entered the United States under false pretenses.
Fred Trump, being the child of an illegal alien, is indeed the very definition of an anchor baby.
“…you MAGA conservatives forget it was Donald Trump himself who started the birther nonsense…You are outraged because I am just mirroring your values back to you.”
Oof. Wrong. This is extra funny because you’re carrying on about “MAGA conservative values” haha. Nope. Democrats started it!
If you haven’t been trolling the fever swamps of online conspiracy sites or opening those emails from Uncle Larry, you may well wonder: Where did this idea come from? Who started it? And is there a grain of truth there?
The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama.
h ttps://www.politico.com/story/2011/04/birtherism-where-it-all-began-053563
Trumps mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was an American citizen before he was born. She was naturalized in in 1942, Donald was born in 1946.
There is no evidence to suggest that Mary Anne was in violation of any immigration laws at any time prior to her naturalization in 1942, as she frequently traveled internationally but was able to re-enter the U.S. afterwards.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/donald-trumps-mother-immigrant/
Such a claim as you make Miner49er, is false. But false and lies are what we have come to expect from you.
It is 100% false that “whose Scotland-born mother compromises his citizenship and makes him subject to deportation under his own policies, fascinating!”
Fred Trump was also an American citizen when Donald was born.
You implying that Donald Trump was an ‘anchor baby’ is 100% false.
Fred Trumps father (below):
Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump, German pronunciation: [fʁi:dʁɪç tʁʊmp]; March 14, 1869 – May 30, 1918) was a German-American businessman. He was the patriarch of the Trump family and the paternal grandfather of Donald Trump, the 45th president and current president-elect of the United States.
Born and raised in Kallstadt, Germany, in what was then the Kingdom of Bavaria (Germany considered this part of the German Empire at the time, but it really wasn’t part of Germany). Frederick Trump immigrated to the United States in 1885 and became an American citizen.
In 1901, he returned to Kallstadt and married Elisabeth Christ. As he had purportedly immigrated to the United States in order to evade conscription, the Bavarian Government stripped him of his citizenship in 1905.
He had dual citizenship. But no longer being a Bavarian citizen, he returned to the United States with his family and resumed his American citizenship life in the United States.
You have told so many lies Miner49er that you can’t keep them straight any more.
Neither Donald Trump or his father Fred Trump are ‘anchor babies’
As he had purportedly immigrated to the United States in order to evade conscription, the Bavarian Government stripped him of his citizenship in 1905.“
Yep, a criminal who fled his country to avoid prosecution, then entered the United States despite the fact that he was a criminal fleeing legal action in his own homeland.
Criminals from other countries are exactly the people Donald Trump wants to deport, his deportation sweeps would pick up grandpa Trump and put him in one of the concentration camps in Texas if the old man was still alive.
HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! That crap doesnt fly. Elon and Vivek have proven their patriotism and they made their money here, not India or RSA… Unlike the nazi collaborator who literally led Jews to their deaths for Eichmann in Hungary. Soros is still wanted for war crimes in Ost Europa. Believe it, buckwheat.
MINOR49er. Just because someone was born in another country does not mean he is a “globalist” like you and your fellow Lefties. Musk is doing for America what you DEMONcRATS have been refusing to do for eons.
Somebody doesn’t know what a globalist is.
Oh he knows he just is trying and failing to muddy the waters.
How about we just make him… irrelevant.
This. Nothing makes a narcissist want to leave more than to be ignored.
Face it, neither party is going to address the REAL root issue.
That issue being that there is a certain demographic that has a missing father 80% of the time.
Since neither party wants to mention that issue, I am perfectly OK with the next best solution of building a bunch of open-air jail cells in the Mojave desert.
I’ll address your ignorance…Let’s provide an out for the party that owns the Legacy of Slavery by holding hands with democRats and pointing fingers at a demographic most of the gutless wonders on this forum have a problem with crime or no crime.
FYI…The 80% have a daddy called the democRat Party which is the source for the demoCrap between their ears. The same demoCrap that motivated millions of lily white dumbbells to vote for a cackling hyena and throw tantrums when the hyena lost. In case you missed it…The democRat Party propaganda sponges attempted assassinations, one murdered her own Trump voting father, etc. And you want to single out a demographic…pathetic.
You’d be better off if you addressed your own.
Better, some attempt at math and logic but it is closer to 40 percent that have an active father. And 1/3 get involved with jail time for the male half so yes the demographic is still an issue even with the improvement it has been showing. Almost like there is a lot more work to do. Much like repealing bad laws or fighting them in court and other actual solutions to injustice.
Muh slavery! DemocRats! harumph! harumph! drool. KKK! cackle! cackle!
Sounds like you have a WOKE problem? Were you a DEI hire?
How about some prisoner-built housing in the Aleutian Islands?
Dick sux. As bipartisan as I can get🙄ILL annoy has the worst dims!
“The chairman said it himself – these illegal firearm conversion devices like Glock switches are already illegal. Prosecutors need to get tough and hold criminals accountable for committing these horrible crimes.”
LOLOLOL! This will never, ever happen. Too many blacks would end up in prison. Can’t have that. It’s racist.
Prisons have to contain correct demographic distribution? Just arrest more white people. As Stalin said “show me the person and I’ll show you the crime”.
That was Stalin’s chief of secret police NKVD, Lavrentiy Beria… Who didnt survive Stalin more than a few months.
Durbin is the spawn of Satan.
He’s part of the kabbalah fraternity with Cheney, Pelosi, Obama, Rumsfeld, Feinstein, et al.
Yes, it contains members of both parties, both sexes, and different religions.
The common denominators are arrogance, narcissism, greed, and a horrible crack-monkey addiction to power.
Of course, just my opinion.
No, screw them. Tell him to stick a suppressor up his six.
johnnygjohnnyboywhatever…When it comes to protecting the 2A with your bigoted buttspew you couldn’t fight your way out of a wet paper bag…you’d be durbin’s batch.
And you accomplish what exactly?
I thought debby was stickingup for Dick Burpin. Then now I seeits actualy Dick Durbin
“Little Dick Durbin” as Rush named him…
Can a Zebra change its stripes? A leopard his spots? I think not, and no more so can Durbin, consistently anti-gun in any form, change is his stance and become “bipartisan.” What he really means is that he will agree to any bill limiting rights but not on any expansions. We can be assured that he will vote no on any national reciprocity bill and in favor of any assault weapons ban.
dick durbin my a**. how many new crimes would you guess have been committed because of bump stocks, silencers, muzzle loaders, suppressors/silencers, trigger replacements, short barrel stabilizers, etc, GD etc.? in the last 4 years? – maybe two. we don’t have to accommodate idiots. Oh yeah, speaking of idiots…..ad add ghosts guns and biden to this stupid f****** list.. Answer is still maybe two.
“how many new crimes would you guess have been committed because of bump stocks“
Another sad case of American historical amnesia…
Here’s one of those crimes committed with bump stocks:
“The Las Vegas Mass Shooter Had 13 Rifles Outfitted with Bump Stocks. He Used Them to Fire 1,049 Rounds.
By Miles Kohrman Aug 3, 2018“
h ttps://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/homicides/read-the-final-report-from-las-vegas-police-on-the-oct-1-shooting/
MINOR49er, That was ONE incident. Just like a hoplophobe, you try to make one incident the whole issue. Typical of the hoplophobe mentality.
As he’s known by his constituents, aka POS!
That Dick Durbin.
His forehead looks like if you hit it really hard you might hurt your hand.
Let’s see how bipartisan Mr. Durbin is when national reciprocity comes up for a vote. If he’s not on board then his true colors will show.
From what I can tell by watching the news, bipartisanship is when one or two McCains, Cheneys, or Cornyns work with Democrats. When D’s refuse to work with R’s, they’re protecting democracy.
Rats, when lead by another rat, will be rats. But when they see the cat take over, will try to become a “long-tailed friend” to the cat, but the cat will still see it as a rat.
no!
I would not trust Dick Durbin to use the right reste room.
Translation: Our anti-gun, eliminate-the-second-amendment stance caused us to lose the power and control we so ardently lust after. Therefore, we will pretend to work with the spineless jellyfish Republican’s to force gun control through them, knowing they do nothing, and stand for even less.
Durbin has a demorat turban.
They got their butts handed to ’em and they’re runnin’ scared…don’t get yer hopes up…just gonna be more of the same…
sure, bi-partisan if that means looking at various ways to obey the 2nd Amendment.
if they aren’t interested, now is the time to wash off their ho paint so they are exposed as the anti-luberty bigots, usurper and traitors they are. Dame goes for rinos.
