  1. ALL constitutional rights, particularly the 2nd amendment is NOT ABSOLUTE. It ends when the exercise thereof affects the rights of others.
    Otherwise, there will be NO RULE OF LAW and will foment CHAOS! RIGHTS is a citizen's PRIVILEGE, too much to it, is an ABUSE.

  2. David Cicilline is just a typical lying pathetic democrat. RI should have better sense than to vote for obvious idiots.

  3. Another show boating do nothing, lazy, stupid to the bone arrogant moron but could be a total idiot that was elected to uphold the constitution. Washington has to be cleaned out of all the ignorant trash that are responsible for all the shooting, they want the guns so the people don't go in and hang all of them for treason.

  4. Come and take it!!!! FJB!!

  5. lol he told them the truth and they didn't like it one bit got to stand up for him respect

  6. β€œSpare me the bullshit about Constitutional rights.” What’s that line in your oath of office about protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States? People applauding this lizard in these comments? This is frightening beyond comprehension.

  7. Dem DAs and governors with sky rocketing murder rates aren't prosecuting people who have commuted gun crimes and they've eliminated bail. So why would they enforce laws now? This is all a farce. Dems like dis @sshat exploiting dead kids.

  8. It is MY Constitutional Right to not be killed by an WEAPON OF WAR!

    You go Sir!!!!

  9. Raise your hand if you belong to a well regulated militia? Anyone? Bueller? No? Well, then there is nothing in the Second Amendment saying you have a right to bear arms.

  10. This man is a disgrace to being a public servant for denouncing the constitution. He should be escorted out of office for failure to do his job.

  11. This gus a moron. If you begin to say you want to murder people or yourself your Gunnar find yourself with so many cops coming for your guns. This guy has no concept of what he's saying at all. I remember falling asleep at home before the long day of work that was ahead of me. I was awoken by a roommate saying there were cops outside with guns out looking for me. Im not suicidal. Nothing like that. All it took was my ex to get worried I didn't answer my phone as I was asleep and the goon squad came looking. Red flag laws and the idea to take the second amendment away is pretty much asking for a domestic war. Don't want dead kids? Place armed people there. Make them confront their mortality. Have one entrance in the school. All simple smart stuff. That Biden doesn't want to do. I don't know about you but if the terminator was real I'd want that dude waiting in the security office. Kids are the future of America. So why not give them the best chances? Instead they get butthurt when a tragedy happens and blame other people rather than make schools harder targets. It's your own fault dude. Stop making law abiding people pay for it. I'm pretty sure the ENTIRE family that escaped convict killed a week didn't have guns to protect themselves. That's the government failing you.

  12. Red flag laws are inherently dangerous because they allow an angry coworker, neighbor, spouse, or virtually anyone to report a person with no consequences for their false reporting. Additionally, These Red Flag laws presume guilt and punish the accused by removing a person's 2nd Amendment rights BEFORE they have been proven so in court.
    Gun control is what the Bolsheviks did in 1918, and what Biden's Bolsheviks do now.

  13. I would be afraid someone might hurt me if I said things like this.

  14. Who does this punk think he is?

  15. A man who has pledged an oath to uphold and defend the constitution… "spare me the constitutional bullshit"
    And some of you are cheering him……

  16. New Gun Restriction Law:

    Get a 4year college level degree πŸ“œ with 4.0 GPA
    πŸ€”πŸ§’
    Have a psych evaluation every 2weeks
    πŸ€”πŸ§’
    Phones & computers monitored and control by FBI at all times
    πŸ€”πŸ§’
    Gps device to any owned vehicle!!!

    Come on CONGRESS #THINK & #RESTRICT the gun violence from foolish owners that just wanna see innocent πŸ˜‡ blood 🩸 shed !πŸ™„ #enough

  17. In my opinion, this individual is a waste of good air, much less a U. S. House seat. How about reading the Constitution, you arrogant fool?

  18. Ask the lakota Indians what after the government confiscated their weapons.

  19. Last time I checked anyone with mental illness and or a felony background was explicitly prohibited from gun ownership. Should probably fix the broken system!

  20. How did an 18 year old with no job or credit afford 9k worth of gear.

  21. Give the teachers guns there would be no more mass shooting

  22. And yet the feckless democrats are letting off John Hinkley… the president shooter from anymore supervised requirements and they are giving him the right to own a gun again. A known person who shot several people will now be able to own a gun…again. So, the democrats whining about guns and restricting them is stupid and insincere. They want mentally ill people to shoot and kill people…as all most all mass killers are democrats.

  23. Cicilline reminds me of the high talker character from Seinfeld.

  24. Cicilline is an opportunist, he does not care about people being slaughtered so long as it is the right people. It is more likely that he is waiting for the gun lobby to pay him to take a knee.

  25. I apologize for all Rhode Islanders. What a hypocrite. he has armed security with ar 15s that are full auto paid for by RI tax dollars. RI stands alone in New England with a strong population that every year has to thwart ridiculous gun legislation every year that is illogical, unenforceable and unconstitutional.
