I've always thought that since the only assholes in america that want everybody armed are the NRA and Congress, we should oblige them and hand out free loaded handguns to all the homeless people that hang around the capitol and K street.

Much of that was Hillary Clinton's platform.

By the way, "lower middle class" is not the same as "working class", working class is typically defined by education (no college degree). While having a college degree certainly helps with income, on average, one can be less wealthy and college educated, or one can own a business like a plumbing contractor without a degree.

Sorry if someone has already said this, but I don't think Ryan and Co. can frighten Rep. John Lewis with the threat of fines.

Just wait, folks...gavel-to-gavel coverage on C-SPAN will be the next to go. Brian Lamb had better come out of retirement, before they shut down ALL the cameras and mikes. Yet another step toward fascism...

I'm sure the NRA would consider these fines to be highly ineffective since they don't require anyone to buy more guns.

Shut down the Government? Totally justified (when the black guy is in the whitehouse).

Sit in in protest against opposition to gun regulations?

CHANGE THE RULES (yeah, we're going to see a lot of that, starting already with North Carolina, the not-Democracy which is above other American states in terms of certain Democracy index indicators) AND FINE!!!!!

If anything they may not say that they are a great country yet, but are getting closer at least to a fine one.

Yeah, where did that come from?Did someone get them some for Christmas, or something? At any rate, it looks like they're already returning it for the (NRA) cash.

No, AshLee, the plumbers fixed the sewage leaks. Unfortunately you'll have to "preserve the Decorum of The House of Representatives" some other way.

After Donald cashes their checks, will he declare the money as income on his 2017 returns?
