“There will be a temptation to let our anger harden our divisions,” Ryan said. “Let’s not let (any sensible gun control) happen.”

Well, he is House Speaker, so I expect him to “speak”. Would be nice if he would do something in addition to speaking, but I’m not holding my breath.

The capacity to square any of this ‘concern’ with support of a Trump presidency, is stunning.

More than outrageous. “Speaker” Ryan is as dangerous as “President” Trump. As a matter of fact, it sounds like he’s been taking speaking lessons from the Donald himself.

And Useless Ryan continued his spinning and word salad blather. Typical memes and ‘heartfelt’ nonsense proffered and now he will return to blocking any attempt at sensible gun regulations, bow to the Tea Party caucus and do absolutely NOTHING concerning the bloody trail of gun loving, NRA supplied monsters among us.
Hmmm…but you can expect more action on, more hearings about , more waste of taxpayers’ dollars and more demands something be done about Hillary’s emails and Benghazeeee’.

Ayn Rand: Paul is being facetious. Expressing 2nd Amendment is our constitutional right.

but instead come together to grieve, to heal, and to seek justice. But not do anything about the availability of guns like the ones used in Orlando and Dallas…

Each time these horrible events unfold and the senate/house republicans do nothing it chips away at the wall they surround themselves with. While they continue to pit in the faces of 90% of bipartisan voters that want change to gun control laws…

“We’re all outraged,” Ryan said. “An attack on the people who protect us is an attack on all of us.”

Indeed it was. As were the police attacks on Alton Sterling and Philando Castile. We need to not forget that, which is the whole point of saying “Black Lives Matter”.

Ya give us a prayer and a moment of silence Ryan, you asshole .
That will fix everything because… in these difficult times now is not the time to discuss gun control.
Amirite?

Ryan also said if elected President it would be important for Hillary Clinton to know the facts about this shooting, to better prepare her for dealing with future tragedies. Nevertheless he was requesting the Dallas Police Department refuse to provide Clinton with any information she requested, and to alert Homeland Security of any attempts by Clinton to obtain it.

Ryan reiterated that “every Republican and every Democrat wants to see less gun violence,” a statement that comes after a decision was made to indefinitely postpone a vote on gun

This is a FLAT OUT LIE. No Rethugs want to see less gun violence. They’re trying to wrap themselves in a cloak of civility and humanity when they have none.

I used to think that Paul Ryan was a half way decent republican. I now realize he is just as idiotic as the rest of them.

Ironic. The actual biggest roadblock to any change in America in dealing with gun violence tells us about how outraged he is, and how we need to come together, all the while NOT DOING A FUCKING THING TO CHANGE IT AND ACTIVELY BLOCKING CHANGE.

So you know what, Paul Ryan? FUCK YOU.

Oh, and fuck your “moments of silence and prayer too”, you piece of sh*t human being. If he/she does exist, may God have mercy on your damned soul, because vile scum like you will never get forgiveness from rest of us for enabling this kind of thing.

Paul Ryan is completely full of shit. Democrats tried to have a debate, they tried to just have a vote so people could see where their represenatives stand on gun legilsation and Paul Ryan said no, no debate, no vote and then he left town while the Democrats tried to get his attention to force him to do his job. Paul Ryan is part of the reason there was a shooting and part of the reason people were killed. Maybe congress should investigate some actual negligence for a change.

Neither of which are his job or anywhere near his responsibility, he’s simply getting in the way.
