DC and others may nail me for this, but I respect you, so I'll take my chances.
I watched CSPAN last evening for hours. It got to the point where I began wondering if all of the women in that chamber were simpletons. One after the other they marched up to the mike, asked to 'revise and extend' their remarks, and then gave a little anti-gun speech - clearly contrary to their parliamentary procedures. They all looked at each other and grinned and cuddled, as if they were having fun at some social event, or showing good 'ol girl 'solidarity'.
Then, almost without fail, they'd mention how they were doing this 'for the children', yadda, yadda, yadda. How cynical! Yes, by all means - let's trash the Constitution ... 'for the children'.
That phrase is now a litmus test for me. Anyone using that phrase is lying through his / her teeth. It is so cute to tell me they are working their a***s off to destroy my sons' rights in order to save them. By all means ... let's turn the country into one big District of Columbia, where the bad guys have guns, and the honest people are denied the right to defend themselves.
Let's continue to restrict the number of rounds of ammunition, how much I can buy, its caliber, the features on my firearms, where I can possess a firearm, when I can buy one, whose permission I must ask, and on and on.
And, let's do it for the children.
For heavens sake - women in America would do well to start criticizing their representatives when they show such specious logic. IMHO, these women leaders have not done their gender proud on this issue. We need powerful female intelligence right now - not simply emotion.
Of course, we have a lot of male bozo's in the House as well, but that's another thread ...
