I'm not sure I understand. Why did they end the sit-in?

I own guns. 22's mostly. But I believe in background checks with any sale, limits on clip/magazine size, and limits on carrying a gun around.

"If you get your information only from left-leaning politimedia, you might get the impression that last night’s four votes on proposed firearms bills were sponsored by Democrats and blocked by…"

Standard right wing nut jobs, my vote was not ammosexual, just anti-gummit.

Then I checked out the rest of the site. There were several love stories about AR-15s. There was one that included these definite signs of ammosexuality;

1. He talked about his extensive level of training, even placing himself above law enforcement on certain skills

2. He made the obligatory comparison to the effectiveness of his other weapons in comparison. Ignoring the fact that other said weapons are actually more effective at close range, talking about their lower ammo capacity.

3. He talked at length about the ammo and how effective it was because it would do less damage but had more stopping power. Even talked about how it wouldn't kill any unintended targets.

4. He bragged about the light and the flash suppressor and their tactical advantages as if they were of any use in the hallway of his house when 5 guys rush in meaning harm(his wet dream scenario). If you know anything about guns, a shot gun with no bells and whistles will stop a 350lb ex-con and convince the other 4 guys to GTFO in a quick and orderly fashion. No need to blind them with a flashlight.

5. He believes that he will get to his AR-15 and get between his family and 5 violent criminals before they can do any harm. If a pistol or a shotgun going off won't stop them, a rifle won't either. And once they are close up, the rifle is pretty cumbersome.

Definitely an ammosexual site, but the article you linked was standard RWNJ spin.

Paul Ryan is so put out! At night, after everyone else has gone home, he likes to go through and methodically sit in each seat in the House, one by one, and jack off into a ziploc bag. It takes him almost a whole session's worth of nights to get through every seat, and these jerks are eating up valuable jacking-off time!

That's the pattern whenever the Republican party unveils their newest "wonk". He always turns out to be a creepy jerk who is too mired in ideology to do anything smart.

Maybe he needs to take a few pictures of himself pumping iron on Leg Day. Because the world needs to know it does indeed exist for him.

Poor Pauly--those evil Demoncrats getting in the way of his vote on a bill to allow financial planners carte blanch to fuck people out of their retirement savings by repealing the recently added rule that they have a fiduciary duty to their clients to act in the best interests of the client instead of selling them overpriced financial products that generate fat fees for the planners. The nerve of these Democrat politicians acting in ways contrary to the best interests of the financial industry is unconscionable to those fine GOP congressmen

What I love is that Rep. Lewis absolutely had Ryan over a barrel. What the Dems did was completely outside of the rules, but the thought of seeing Lewis dragged out by cops was political suicide for Ryan. Ryan couldn't win.

Have I mentioned that I am smiling right now?
