Discussion: Collins Says He'll Carry Firearm After Shooting, Cites 'Outrageous' Rhetoric

1 Like

Three little words, Rep Collins - “Lock her up.”

Remember when Secretary Clinton offered to pay the legal expenses if one of her supporters assaulted a Trump supporter? Yeah, me neither.

About when she talked about the Second Amendment solution? No, I don’t remember that.

Is she the candidate who claimed she could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in New York City without any consequences?

I don’t recall this kind of talk when Gifford was shot several years ago. Now they want to tone down the rhetoric after they have been attacked. Typical Republican, it has to happen to them before they get excited.

There’s everyones’ answer to whether or not this would change the GOP stance on gun control:

““I’m not going to live my life any differently, that’s not going to happen,” he told WBEN.In a separate interview with WKBW Wednesday morning, though, Scalise noted one significant change.“I
will be carrying when I’m out and about, which, I have to tell you, I
have not been, even though I have a carry permit at home,” he said,
referring to his permit to carry a firearm.”

More guns.

There’s ample evidence to suspect the current occupant is a traitor and undeniably has hateful, violence-prone followers who revel in his own violent rhetoric and have run hate-inspired incidents to stratospheric levels. Facts, not rhetoric. So, with respect, Representative Collins, fuck yourself.

“Outrageous rhetoric?” Was today the first day he watched Fox News?

I look forward to his opinion on Info Wars being granted White House press credentials.

it is so much easier to carry a weapon at all times and keep one eye out for a potential assasin and one eye on that pop up fly than to ban weapons of war in civilian places.

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) said Wednesday that he hoped the shooting at a Republican congressional baseball team practice would send a signal to Democrats to “tone down the rhetoric.”

Sure, maybe Ann Coulter, Alex Jones and Pamela Geller can have a sit down with Trump filmed, wherein they all denounce the deplorable rhetoric we hear from Democrats.

Collins also said he would carry his gun with him as a result of the shooting.

That’ll help. Did anyone hear about the five Dallas police officers killed last year? They were all carrying guns.

Gabby Giffords (D-AZ): that was an attack on her.

Steve Scalise (R-LA): that was an attack on all of us.

Yep, follow the noble lead of Gabby Giffords, Sir.

She’s petite, but she packs a Glock, an AR-15, and an RPG on her wherever she goes…

I recall quite a bit of it. From us. They attacked and mocked us for it. Except, of course, for Sarah Palin who, being Sarah Palin, disclosed that she was the real victim of the shooting and misappropriated the term “blood libel” and affixed it to her martyrdom.

Jesus. Somebody needs to send out a “shelter in place” warning while the Emergency Response Teams deal with all the weaponized hypocrisy we’re going to be dealing with for the rest of the week.
