In an effort to never let a crisis go to waste, I give you Hank "Guam may tip over" Johnson and his garbage cohorts in the House attempting to take advantage of the current crisis to push their BS gun control agenda. Of course it won't go beyond the House, but that's not the reason its being floated right now. I hate this filth with every molecule of my being and would strongly suggest all of their heads be removed and placed on pikes on the capital lawn as a warning to the rest.

I'm in.

The guy may be brain dead. You are right on....never let a crisis go to waste.

He’s got to be the dumbest motherfucker that’s ever been in Congress, that I can think of at least.

He certainly seems to be swimming against the tide. His days in office may not be numbered, depending on his district (and his being a Congressman in the first place speaks volumes), but bad timing tends to make a politician look anything but influential to the country - and D.C. - at large.

As has already been stated, Hank Johnson is too stupid to finger paint let alone pen a bill. This bill was given to him to submit in an effort to once again paint the GOP senate as being uninterested in protecting children and those others at risk of violence, while protecting the NRA and gun companies. This is nothing but rancid politics trying to further damage Trump during an election year, during the worst pandemic this country has had to face. I hate (and I rarely use that word) all of these MF's with a heat matching that found on the face of the sun.

The problem with it is I can’t blame him. Right now, you have got an unprecedented number of “gun owners” who are willing to wipe their feet with the Constitution. They are completely cool with the suspension of basic human Rights as a measure to “do something” against a bug that just about everyone will survive. But that doesn’t matter. They are willing to use the same gun control buzz words, the same false “value of human life” emotional fillers, and the same logic to let you constantly know that your Rights have to go for the greater good. They are more than willing to use false statistics and incomplete data to insist you comply and forfeit your Rights. Hell, there is a couple that I think will be angry if this bug doesn’t kill 100,000s of thousands of Americans.

We are in the largest Constitutional crisis we’ve faced in my lifetime. Most of society is completely ignoring it. I can’t blame idiots like Hank Johnson for trying to take advantage of it. We are doing this to ourselves.

If we had "like" buttons, there would not be enough "likes" for that post jljones. Well said! I agree completely. Regards 18DAI

They need to create a special subcommittee of one, make him the leader and put him in a padded room.

A shining example of how the "leets" will take every opportunity to strip us of our rights. Fie on them!

Why does he always sound like he just smoked a reefer in the cloak room 10 minutes before he started talking?

Everyone is entitled to a opinion. The congressman is a nut no doubt. He's not the only one. "Willing to wipe their feet with the Constitution"...

The left will keep up their perfidy, trying to foment a civil war. What they'll a
end up with is a revolutionary war.

I don’t need another reason.

But it’s another that reinforces what I already know about them

Surprise, surprise. Here's an op-ed pushing drastic measures to stop "gun violence" in Chicago.

If government can curb our rights to fight a virus, then why not to fight gun violence?

If we can fight a war against an enemy we can’t see or touch, we certainly could use draconian measures to fight the gun violence in our neighborhoods as well.

I am just amazed how quickly the world changed.

Up to this point, the biggest threat many of us have faced was gun violence.

And despite the tens of thousands of innocent adults and children killed each year by guns in this country, no number of deaths has been enough to move government to take the drastic measures now being taken to stop a deadly virus.

A month ago, we couldn’t imagine that schools, restaurants, bars and businesses would be shut down until further notice.

But Gov. J. B. Pritzker took the unprecedented action in Illinois on Friday of ordering all of us to “shelter in place” as of Saturday.

The threat of effectively being quarantined even for the initial 14 days was enough to send hordes of people running to the grocery stores to stock up on toilet paper.

As one of my daughters put it, “People are acting like the zombies are coming.”

It didn’t take mass rallies to convince elected officials — Democrats and Republicans — that they would have to take draconian measures for lives to be saved.

Everyone is hammering at the message that this deadly virus can be overcome if we all follow the recommended guidelines that include constant hand-washing, social distancing and that thing we learned in kindergarten — covering our mouths when we cough.

The fight to stop a virus that already has killed thousands worldwide has revealed some good, some bad and some really bad behaviors on our parts.

I got caught up in the hysteria when I went to my local supermarket and saw people pushing shopping carts filled with toilet paper, paper towels and disinfectant wipes.

And that wasn’t just happening in Chicago.

Soon after the mayor and governor announced school closures, a close friend was hospitalized in the Orlando area with a wound infection. A senior with a host of underlying medical conditions, she is most at risk for the virus.

So, on Wednesday, I was at Midway Airport boarding one of the few flights that wasn’t canceled after the air-traffic control tower there was shut down because employees had tested positive for the virus.

While this crisis has shaken all of us, I could get used to social distancing.

I was overjoyed no one was breathing down my neck while I used the kiosk and went through security.

And while the closings of schools, businesses, churches and entertainment venues have put us on edge, I’m afraid the “shelter-in-place” order Pritzker issued will only add to the anxiety.

In Orlando, it isn’t just toilet paper disappearing from shelves; it’s also bullets and guns.

And my friend saw firsthand the stress this crisis is having on the healthcare system.

“There are nurses walking around with no masks on, putting other healthcare workers at risk. Tempers are flaring,” she told me when I came to take her home.

For seniors in her situation, this is a real nightmare. Because of coronavirus, home healthcare services basically have stopped, and non-emergency doctor’s appointments are being canceled.

Rather than go to a rehabilitation facility, some seniors are taking their chances at home.

Seemingly overnight, Americans are being denied the right to assembly, to travel, to attend church and school and to entertain themselves in an effort to save lives.

Similarly drastic measures could be used to curb the gun epidemic that claims lives every day.

Don’t take this wrong.

I am taking precautions and following the CDC guidelines, and you should, too. I’m also praying I make it back to my own home before domestic air travel is canceled.

But I am more afraid of walking the dog early in the morning or late at night in a neighborhood plagued by guns.

I’m more afraid someone will fire a gun on the expressway just for the heck of it and take a life.

And I’m more afraid that a gun will fall into the wrong hands.

If we can fight a war against an enemy we can’t see or touch, we certainly could use draconian measures to fight the gun violence in our schools, in our workplaces and on our streets.

A lot of lawyers sound like that. "Beer Flu" ... Love it!

Hank Johnson is the dumbest MF I've ever encountered and to think people actually went into the voting booth and selected him over Micky Mouse astounds me. I only wish he was the DNC selection for president. Oh, the fun with the debates against our president Trump. Fun times.

Not even remotely close--unless maybe you're a gang-banger.

One of the only things I miss about Twitter: Idiots like Mary all have Twitter accounts. You can light 'em up, directly, over inane statements like that.
