Hey, Congressman Walker. . . . there IS a right involved in the gun regulation debate. It’s the bit about “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” that gets compromised for most Americans by ridiculously easy access to guns.

His opinion on the matter, particularly vis-a-vis protest tactics, is less than worthless.

Calling Rep. John Lewis an insult to Civil Rights protesting…

“That’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off…”

Rep. Mark Walker (R-NC):

Calling this a sit-in is a disgrace to Woolworth’s. They sat-in for rights. …

Because when we want to know what’s a disgrace to the Civil Rights movement, we should take the word of a white Republican from Dixie who would have voted against those same rights had he been in office then.

Somehow, Walker just lacks - what’s the word? - wait, I’ve got it: credibility.

Shut up you little turd. They are ‘sitting in’ to keep people ALIVE. If you want to be a lying jerk, do it on your own time.

What a dipshit. What about the right to not be gunned-down?
Besides, nobody is taking away any “right”, but trying to impose some commonsense security for the American public.

A disgrace to Woolworth’s? Woolworth’s sat in for rights? Uh no, Woolworth’s was the racist business that got sat in on by people like Rep. John Lewis who are still fighting the good fight while you right-wingers continue to be a disgrace.

Rep. Walker would have been outside the gates of Birkeneau and Auschwitz protesting for the Rights of the Nazi Guards to have better living conditions.
