Good for you Ms. Porter. Unfortunately, there’s only one member of Congress willing to look out for the American people and she can do little by herself.
Someone should have told her Katie Porter don't play. She is smart and informed . This woman is not smart or informed. Great job again Katie Porter.
Another Woman on Top of her Game! You Go Girl. There. Should not be assault weapons in anyone's home.
😆🤣🤣😆
Team Katie Porter !
Team Liar!
@@ClassicFIHD
Pathetic retort.
There seems to a generation of people that will do anything for money or say, do anything to justify their position, without morals or principles.
No moral compass on this faux GOP tribe cult of defenders of a President who has done so many crimes that I have lost count. They are on video, audio, and this GOP cult think if they keep lying we won't notice when the next election comes around. There is a silent majority out there thats wants these cult of liars dumped.
There’s always been people like that. It’s not limited to one generation.
in fact SEVERAL generations, and they're called democrats
@@trallfraztake your meds old man 😊
This isn't new. Congress' response was the same before, during and after slavery. What's surprising?
Holy cow these people are really corrupt, sick and evil.
Evil is mild!

@@johnc27Or like how every congress person conducts these committees regardless of party. 🙄 Are you saying you haven’t seen the right do the same exact thing? If you’re going to complain, at least be honest.
@@johnc27 Porter: "Did you know that the law _______?'
Witness: Yes
The witness answered the question
I'm out of order? You're out of order! This whole God Damn place is out of order!
😂
Yup...good point.
Lol. Thanks.🤣
Indeed it is.
you're quoting a GREAT movie: "And Justice For All" starring AL PACINO
Katie is a force of nature.
That’s mean. It’s not her fault she is that obese.
Yeah, just because she's the cause of earthquakes doesn't mean you have to pick on her.
When Katie moves the ground quakes.... she farts with the force of Krakatoa after she stuffs her face. She caused the great tsunami that hit Japan by simply jumping in the ocean.
A true leviathan of nature.
Wallace seems intimidated by Katie. I love that harsh reality
They fear Ms. Porter when she upcaps her pen and rolls up her sleeves . Listen to them whine like jackals .
I love the fact that she backs up her information with FACTS. Some people are just intimidated by the truth.
The problem is that this is a cross examination of the witness. It's great to have facts, but they need to lead to some sort of relevant question that pertains to the witness's expertise. Miss Porter was just grandstanding and talking AT the witness without asking questions. So no one knows if her "facts" are accurate or if they are even relevant to the witness's expertise. So it's a waste of everyone's time.
Imagine if a pro-gun senator just listed facts about how many robberies or attacks were stopped by gun owners. It may be factual, but it's not relevant to the witness they are talking to. It would just be grandstanding for the least intelligent of observers. This is not how progress is made.
Nope porter has no Facts she is pulling stiff up to back her own narrative .
Exercise machines are not protected by constitution but firearms are .
She does need one of those machines though may be if we firced exercise besides gun control it would be more healthy .
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
How about equally banning/recalling knives, vehicles, tobacco, alcohol, prescription medications and sugar?
Don't forget all vehicle manufacturers! Unless they create a vehicle that makes in IMPOSSIBLE, to purposefully drive over a pedestrian. Then it's their fault as a mfg someone was hit by their car. And should be sued into banckrupcy.@@peter.wilson
It is a wonder that congress gets anything done.
They don't except for protecting the gun manufacturers and the orange man.
The only things that have gotten done are the tons of bills that got past to lower insulin prices, to give relief to our veterans, the burn pit victims,
The pact act
The chips act … to move this valuable manufacturing to the United States
🇺🇸 and the many others… do you know that not one single republican voted to lower insulin prices and save lives? Republican is no longer a political party. It’s a party of monsters.
Lol true, look up PMQ and see how bad we have it

It is.....insane to me that anyone could say this, even a fake ass paid-to-post troll like yourself.
Not.
That witness could not stand being called out.
who is the guy next to the chair women? he is talking to her while she is talking and he is the one that keeps turning off her mic.... absolutely nuts...
Very disrespecful. I saw all of the Watergate trial. There was no one who talked to anyone with disrespect. I am 76 and these people have disgraceful behavior.
Katie truly is disgrace. She should be in prison.
That's the young Congressman from Missouri, Josh Hawley! He's the one that gave the closed fist to the insurrectionists on J6 and was then seen RUNNING from the Capitol when they breached it. 😮😢😮
I believe the guy is an expert in Robert's Rules of Order, and is telling the chair woman how to respond to these "points of order" called out.
stopping and starting the clock. Ms Porter spent quite a bit of time "reclaiming her time". Apparently she didn't want to hear the answer, she just wanted to ask the question. Does that mean she's asking rhetorical questions? I'll take that as a "yes".
Interesting that Forbes reports on Katie accurately unlike per usual.
Probably needed a ratings boost since their minority is failing at EVERYTHING it touches...
they are afraid of a suit like Fox just went through.
@@justretired1573 suit...? That is payment for 2024
She is passionate about the subject. Are you offended?
@@janetives5470 She is passionate about taking guns away - NOT about saving lives or listening AT ALL about ideas on how to save lives. Not knowing things makes her ignorant. Intentionally avoiding finding out things makes her evil.
Katie and others like her are dangerous to America.
Katie should have been our senator, from California.
I love that when asked " if " she had lied she was unable to deny it so she demanded time to justify an obvious lie by explaining " why " . Not very logical .
How did she lie? She was accused of lying and when she tried to defend herself from the accusation of perjury, the cow interrupted her.
@@f.wallace8969Apparently that "cow" is a bit smarter than the lying witness. She asked a question, the witness answered that question and then the "cow" called her out. Just because she didn't like it, didn't make it wrong. There are no half lies, or lies with an explanation, they're just lies.
@alandueck210 she didn't ask any questions she just accused and made statements.
She claims that since there was a grandfather clause in the bill and the lady knew that, that would be perjury because the lady said millions of Americans would be felons overnight. However, what isn't said(because she never let her answer) is how grandfather clauses require registrations. Registration is highly unconstitutional, and millions would not comply. Therefore... millions would become felons overnight. I would argue that they would actually become millions of revolutionaries overnight, but whatever.
LOL - Porter wasn't "asking a question" to get an answer- she was using her time to make political statements. make the witnesses look bad by choosing "snippets" of statements made to fit her narrative. She "acted like" she was asking a question so she could make her idiotic , so called points........old trick, everyone in congress does it
@@f.wallace8969 if you can't recognize congresswoman Porter asking a question, then maybe you should remain quiet.
The concept of integrity and honor dio not even come into consideration in the wielding of power. It's because they never earned it .
@randorover Jesus INSTRUCTED his Disciples to buy the modern military grade weapon of the time...a sword. All my adult life after the military I teach/taught children how to defend themselves, even lethally, with firearms knives pencil/pens, rocks, sticks, etc. All of them are still alive, today. I guess God listened to me...since God uses PEOPLE to perform his needs...Your wrong ..God suffers the children....they did NOT die because of their own lack of faith..they died because Satanic people in power and the churches have control....the child in the womb has been murdered for decades by these same scum as Katie Porter.. Katie Porter isd responsible for millions of dead children...and she is hypocrite leftist trash.
@randorover what a disgusting thing to say. I hope that you are held to that statement whenever you meet your maker. God is capable of ANYTHING. It’s His game, His board, and HIs players. He has made EVERYTHING known and unknown. If He intercedes and uses His people to nock down the walls of Jericho, so be it. Where a correction is needed, it happens. Otherwise, He gives us free will. With your absurd statement, He would prevent EVERY unjust death, crime, etc. Maybe before belittling Him, you get to know Him. Your eternal life is at stake, and I bet if you are asked about this statement when meeting HIm, you would want more than anything, a chance to undo it, and have a do over. Well here is your chance right now to undo it and have your do over. Best of luck.

If companies are responsible for the criminal use of their product what stops individuals from continually suing them for related incidents into oblivion?
That’s why manufacturers SHOULD be for stricter gun laws. It’s all about the money.
Saving lives is a distant second.
@@glendaadams1481 Federal law PROHIBITS firearms manufacturers from being sued for CRIMINAL uses of their products.

It also says keep out of reach of children or those who are not comfortable or knowledgeable of it function.
Parents lock up your weapons. I do when my grand children visit. Otherwise my shot gun is by my bed. I know how to use it and I will.
Great but people don't follow rules and that's not their kids fault. Other things that are dangerous for kids are designed so kids can't use them. For example, lids on medicines or dangerous household cleaners etc that kids can't open.
Why are guns always the exception to rules that apply to everything else?
There is no cure for STUPID.

@@dionysusnow I was broken into when I wasn't home. Someone was on my property when I was home. Shot the gun in the air and he left.
She did this one WITHOUT HER WHITEBOARD! Well, I’ll be darned.
Great job!
Kind of like the whiteboard mtg uses all over the halls of Congress.... as usual, the r's are such hypocrites!
This morning, I caught my hand gun conspiring with my hammer. The box of nails was a witness to this.
"Madam chair if she's going to ask questions..." She didn't ask a question. She pointed out that the witness knowingly lied under oath which had just been established. If you don't like being called out for lying. Here's a novel approach. DON'T LIE
She's asking questions, but not wanting answers. Do you know why? Because she wants to preach a woke anti-gun anti-American unconstitutional agenda. She doesn't care about answers. She doesn't care about facts. She just wants to take guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, because like the witness said, some of them are scary looking.
Katie Porter is like any party hiding something
Won’t allow the witness to speak.
Or won’t speak when asked a pertinent worthwhile question.
@@acbonness12 so the problem in Washington is that there isn't enough political grandstanding then? I think the opposite is true.
Katie Porter is simply not allowing the witness to carry on and on and on.
@@acbonness12you didn’t listen, did you?
What a joke of a government
This is a direct result of how allowing lobbyists to influence politicians does nothing but create conflict and division. Our politicians don't care about what their constituents want, they only care what their political party wants and the party only cares about what lobbyists pay them money for Our government structure as developed by our forefathers was genius, but over time politicians have completely gutted the original intent because of their own greediness and self-interests. And it's not just one party -- it's both of them. Without lobbyists the Democrats and Republicans would have negotiated an acceptable middle ground on this years ago.
keep funding it, they will care about your safety, tomorrow
@@WithaJoeFroSo untrue. Republicans have been trying to misguide the public systematically in all aspects. Why? Bevause they are the party of the big money, the big donors and the big lobby. Fossile fuel, NRA, against Obamacare ( because of lobbyists from the pharmaceutical industry), anti abortion ( due to lobbyists of church) , systematic trying to have people NOT vote, etc etc. The list is endless. Why? Because they’ll loose on the popular vote every and each time, thus they must walk the fraudulous and corrupt line as much as they can.
Before anyone in Congress enacts gun regulations…they should be REQUIRED to take a class explaining what guns are, what the parts/accessories are for, and a concealed carry class… AT THE VERY LEAST!!
Right just like anyone who buys a gun should be required to go through a background check and take the same classes and know what parts/accessories are there and pass a class on firearms
@@Wongseifu548 And anyone who buys a car should know everything about it right?
@@ItsCarlnotCarla well lets see in order to drive a car you need a learners permit, a provisional license and then after. 2 years get your full license. So yeah you can buy a car but you won't be able to drive it until you pass all the hoops first. If you want to buy a gun go for it but by that logic the persons gonna have to jump through a ton of hoops first
Amen
@@Wongseifu548 driving a car is a privilege, owning a firearm is a right just like freedom of speech is. So you want people to get a license before speaking as well? Fuckin Commie
I love Katie Porter! She always brings the goods with her when she comes and she does it well.
violated the committee rules by engaging in personalities of the witness.
I have never seen a judge sentence a gun to jail.
Its usually a person.
if that person wouldn't have a gun he wouldn't be sentenced.
Never seen a pill sentenced either but the first thing you hear on the border debate is fentanyl is coming cross it. Not to mention the big deal over the opioid (crisis). As soon as drugs started affecting certain people it became a “crisis.”
Oversimplification of the issue
They should be sentencing the Gun manufactures to jail, that would solve the problem.
The gun is on trial
Then they're talking about point of order and perjury what there's no laws and rules that follow anymore it's like a damn kangaroo court
perjury in congress is not the same as perjury in court. Different standards. In congress it is purely a political standard. Just like impeachment. They could toss out perjury charges on a weatherman who was accurate with zero recourse for the weatherman.
The woman admitted that she had read the bill, and knew what was in it, yet her answer at the previous hearing was a contradiction to what the bill said. She answered the question, then wanted to ad some BS propaganda. Katie Porter wasn't having it.
@@darryldunmore5184 BS. It has to with context. If it was me I would got out and walked out and told Porter to stick it where the sun don't shine.
I've seen Porter do this before. She's a disgrace.
This wasn't a hearing, it was a platform
If the lady answered truthfully at all hearings and not try to spin the question she would have no problem. Why should porter let her kill all her time explaining why she was less than honest.
Try punctuation. It's awesome! Kudos on using the correct spelling of 'they're' for the situation, though.

I would hate to be in that room. I’d be fuming just listening to how they control the room in a such a piss poor manner. Bunch of toddlers arguing
So if I heard the witness right, it is lawful to own a weapon IF it was bought prior to the new law, but when the owner dies, no one else.may possess it, therefore eventually making all illegal to have.
Put them in a trust, then add trustees. Trust remains owner while trustees change, adhering to ban on transfers but allowing whoever you want to maintain possession. Simple, but should not be necessary.
This isnt an atf regulation tax stamp, its state law. So yes, over time itll just be unpossesable legally@finngamesknudson1457
We don't know what the witness said because she wasn't allowed to speak.

"The gun manufacturer should have included a warning that the gun could still be fired without the magazine installed" Clown World 2.0.
Yes that is a great statement. If the manufacturer didn't have immunity, their lawyers would've placed that statement stating as such to remove their liability.
Instead, they can sell a deadly product and they're immune from jump street from any litigation. They have no incentive to use warning or feature labels.
Warning labels should be routine on guns. Gun manufacturers should know that a lot of people who buy guns don't know how to operate them safely, and some firearms can't be fired without a magazine, and some can. There is nothing wrong with requiring warning labels like any other product; it is common sense. Also, gun manufacturers should not be immune to lawsuits.
Semi-automatic assault weapon? OK, that's an oxymoron. Just goes to show you.
The Consumer Protection issue is Irrelevant to Her argument. The deaths were not caused by faulty products. Just lack of instruction and training.
Good point 👍
Exactly right. Well said.
So your saying the guns were doing exactly what they were designed to do. So things that acidently kill people should be banned or changed, but things designed to kill shouldn't be regulated?
That sounds so so logical.
@@distanceismyplastercast - The gun doesn't "accidently" kill anyone... the negligent (or intention) actions of the PERSON is what results in the unintentional death.

Public utilities carelessly sell water to families without the simple safety devices required to prevent "water drownings" Water should be only sold in childproof safety packets to be secured in childproof lock boxes in the home.
not really. Water doesnt come with safety instructions or any inherently 'Proper' way to use it. Youve presented a very poor argument by trying to compare 'proper uses' of two very different 'products'. The ONLY proper use of a gun is to pull the trigfer to send a round into something: its sole function is to propel a bullet into a living being in order to end its life. There are no 'no injury' guns, there are no 'wont kill' guns. A guns sole dunction is to kill. Yes, you CAN shoot targets but its still putting a round into something. Water has multiple uses but doesn't have a sole or single use, it is provided as a necessity and IS a necessity to life, guns are not. Noone NEEDS a gun but you DO need water.

MAGAs, just listen to friends or people they think are cute or funny. Trump is a bone-head, he seems ill, and thank goodness his time is done.
What fascist wrote that ?
The actual quote from George Washington is, "Government is not reason, it is not eloquence,-it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant, and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action" As to "irresponsible action", I refer you to the 12-year olds that the GOP voters put in power.

Firearms can be used to save lives or take lives. They are used about 5X as often to save a life as take a life. If you take guns away from citizens, you will end up with more innocents dying.
I respect what Porter stands for on this discussion, however it sounds like the issue stems from a parent lacking the knowledge that even if you remove the magazine from the firearm, you still need to check the chamber to see if a live round is there. 😞😞
Her entire Argument doesn't make sense period in all very examples, she's assuming that The item being used is being properly used per the manufacturer's guidance period but we all know that firearms all ship with locks and safety manuals that layout all the gun safety laws, including treat every weapon as if it's loaded. Not to mention that it also states that children shouldn't be using the firearms. Her argument is just a flat out lie.
Sounds like parents not teaching their child safe gun handling nor reading THE INSTRUCTIONS and/or securing the gun from an irresponsible child
We need to pass a law that before u bring a gun into your home u must have a safe to store it in. And the head of the household is responsible for the guns stored in safe. If someone uses the guns to kill someone the head of household is also responsible. But that will never happen makes to much sence....
I agree. But there are some “parents” who leave loaded guns within reach of a three year old. This happened in Indiana.These “adults” shouldn’t have guns either.
The Supreme Court has already ruled in Heller that you cannot mandate the use of any kind of gun lock.@@garylovelace711

Bullshit…. Porter BLOCKED … the wines from EXPLAINING her answer
If the lady would have answered porters questions without elaboration, and if she would have let Ms. Porter finish her point, She would have been given the chance to elaborate after. As it was her answers were fueled by self preservation and emotion. if she would have let Ms. Porter's point be concluded, she would have had more time to think and not come off crass and hostile. Government and politics is basically theater, or sport. if you don't play the game you are being played, and if you are a no one you're not changing the rules.

Harden the schools - nope. Arm the teachers and staff - no way. Crack down on criminals - c'mon man. Deal with the mental health issues - not on your life. Disarm law-abiding citizens and deny their 2nd Amendment - yup.
Get out of America tyrant , you deserve no rights of the constitution. Every law abiding citizens have the the right to carry , bear arms . In America! Go to china , Venezuela, take yourself and family there , see how well that works for you .
So everything else in the world has to be changed just so you can have your toys?
Guess after today, you think streets should have a bullet proof roof, so nutters can't shoot people from up on buildings?
Once more for the folks in the cheap seats:
It's a school, not a prison.
The way to make a school safer is to make it harder for any yahoo to get a gun, carry it concealed, and not have any training or even require a permit or license. All of which are proposals that republicans are in favor of and have passed in some states.
Hey, let's go all the way! Not only harden the schools (whatever the hell "harden means"), let's harden the movie theatres, the malls, the offices and open areas where mass shootings have and could happen. Arm the teachers and staff? Sure! By the way, when the teacher is assaulted by a student, something that's happening at an alarming rate, is the teacher justified in shooting to kill in defense? And, in those states where unlicensed open carry is the law, can the armed student respond with gunfire? Just asking. I'm all for cracking down on criminals - we could make it harder for them to get their hands on a gun, for instance. And I agree that mental health issues are a problem, but we have to define what a mental health problem might be. As an example, I think that a single-minded focus on fire power and a dedication to having a killing device always at the ready might be an indicator of poor mental health. What do you think? And here's a sticky issue - In virtually every case of mass shootings, the perpetrator, up to the moment when he pulled the trigger, was a law-abiding citizen. As to 2nd Amendment rights, I believe every gun owner should have to serve in the militia. A careful reading of the Amendment seems to indicate that. Other than these few reservations, you and I are in full agreement.
Legal owners of guns is allowed. Porter said it. In what way is it disarming anyone? Go get a license and quit being a baby.

Firearms are NOT like any other 'consumer product.' They are weapons and are inherently dangerous. A congressperson with a clear bias against private possession and use of weapons should never have a right to badger any witness or to prevent them from testifying on their understanding of legislation, existing or proposed.
Fact: The legislation being reviewed in the initial segment would have required owners of existing modern / modular sporting rifles (MSR) - which ARE NOT 'assault weapons' (a made up political term) - to be registered. The majority of MSR owners are fervently against gun registration, would not register any firearm and would indeed be classified as felons under that proposed law. Similar state level legislation passed in Connecticut had less than a 30% compliance rate years after passage.
The Congresswoman's behavior toward the witness is overtly biased and appalling. I would get up and walk out before tolerating such execrable behavior and would expect the same response from any reasonable individual.
How disrespectful. How dare the Congresswoman indeed.
Wut a Repugnant attitude
Cars are weapons when they're mishandled, too.
Weapons are weapons no matter the handling tho
no significant point of order?
you wait until you're accused of purjory
Lecturing experts and prohibiting a response is not useful. We need debate - the exchange of ideas.
she did respond she said yes! she read te bill and stated something oppisite of what the bill stated, that is a lie! she knew that the bill would NOT make ppl felons overnight but she testified that it would anyway. that is perjury!
Anti gunners do not want debate because their stances are easily debunked. I have been at this for 10 years now and have never encountered an actual justification for stricter gun laws. I’m also from the south side of Chicago and intimately familiar with violence and criminals.

How is it that when a cop kills someone, it’s the cop’s fault, but when a crook kills someone, it’s the gun’s fault?

Good question. Leftists are a cynical people.
@randorover You are slandering and totally and completely misrepresenting the Christian (and probably Jewish) faith. I call that evil.
Reply winner for 2023, so far!!!
because cops have to carry guns? what stupid question is that? now, go beyond the limited view of self defense for a minute. Pretend you are really serious with reducing mass killings. Other countries have done this experiment and pretty much all of them have significantly reduced it, What do you think they all did to achieve this. i think you know the answer. Let us not pretend this is just a confusing hard to solve problem
So, Porter is going to say misuse means the product is "unsafe"? Irresponsible use is "unsafe"? CPSC gets to step in if firearms are blowing up in people's hands due to defect in manufacture. Not because people don't know or ignore the rules of safety. Tinpot.
And there goes the circular logic again.
I didn't know suicides were considered accidents.
If criminals don't obey these laws, why should the public be further disarmed?
Fun fact, other nations with strict background checks and registration do not have wide spread issues with straw purchased guns or spree killers like only we in the US have. Those laws work at keeping guns away from thugs and crazies. I am all for owning guns including semi auto mag fed rifles but the far right is just full of shit on the issue and causing our problems.
just assault weapons dude. No one will ever take my guns and im a dem. I dont need an assault weapon. No one does. Period. Ask the COPS.
is that really your justification for the lack of laws vs the gun industry?
What a bunch of BS. Every man woman and child has the ability to own 4 guns. Who is disarmed?????
@mymobilebuddy4392 you know children cant own guns right?
Anytime I listen to the gun arguments in the USA and how this is a violation of the Second Ammendment I remember this:
Kinder Suprise, a chocolate egg with a toy inside the hollowed egg, is illegal in the USA because it is too dangerous for the kids in the USA.
Guns are legal in USA.
Is there a constitutinal right to chocolate eggs? Can you explain why the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves should be restricted under the delusional belief that violent criminals obey laws?
@@pr073u569 I'm just pointing out some of the silliness of the laws. Sure, violent criminals do not obey laws. I can go for that. That being said - I just find it silly that a chocolate egg is too dangerous to allow - yet a child can have a gun. It simply does not make sense.
@@raymanbacchus A child can have a gun? What? You are obfuscating the reasoning by playing ignorant. Children aren't allowed to purchase guns. The egg was banned because it had a choking hazard in an item designed for children. Guns are designed to sling metal at great speed - not for enticing children in the checkout line. There are reasons - you just choose to ignore them.
@@raymanbacchus the issue is that the US Constitution is not a document of laws. It's a document of rights which are not granted by the government. They're granted by birth. Once you understand that, you'll understand why laws can be silly, but rights are not.
@@jchamberlainhome Interestingly enough, rights are NOT guaranteed at birth simply because a piece of parchment says so. You need a GOVERNMENT of LAWS to enforce said piece of parchment or you don't have rights at all. I think you're missing that part of your argument.

Law suit for defamation anyone?
She should be
Congress constitutionally has immunity for all speech on the floor. Committee hearings are considered floor speech.
So yes to slander but no to any lawsuit.
No defamation since the congresswoman never accused the witness of lying, only pointed out how her testimony under oath differed from the content of the bill she was testifying against. Witness getting but hurt over their actual stated testimony is irrelevant.
Funny that Katie Porter didn't say the recalled all exercise equipment, trying to make the comparison to "guns".
What the frick is this stupid card suppose to do?
When did the government add the right to exercise equipment in the constitution?
Those idiots should have never put the 2nd amendment in there, but of course they could not have known we would misuse its meaning hundreds of years later as if we are still fighting the British using muskets.
You have a first amendment right to freedom of speech. Doesn’t mean you can say anything and get away with it. Perjury, verbal harassment, etc. are still illegal.
I don’t see why second amendment should be any different. Guns are still commercially sold objects and should be regulated to ensure maximum safety (by both gun design and ownership).
@@claudiusatlas8083 they are heavily regulated already. The issue is in the lack of anyone who believes in future regulation having a rational definition of what needs to be done and with what kinds of guns and from what type of study. Hysteria about guns has made more people buy them not less. Also, a focus on the mass numbers of black kids being shot in inner cities is just as important as freedom of speech. Don't you?

I'm using a tablet to write this,if I use it to beat someone to death then it's an "assault tablet".
OK. It's official: the 3 words "reclaiming my time" is the most aggravating phrase ever.
They are on a strict and short timer, maybe 5 minutes total. It is very common for the witness to talk slow, change the subject, pretend to be emotional, or do almost anything to run down the clock so they won't be asked mre questions. That's why congresspeople interviewing witnesses can come across as rude. Their time is very very short and they are taking it back from the rambling witness
Democracy means that everyone gets their time to speak, not that someone who has been evidentially lying to the House is allowed to witter on interminably for hours. If you don't like it, I'm sure they'd be happy to have you in Russia or North Korea.
This is a political speech not a questioning.
Has Ms Porter presented child safety a matter of politics or a matter of economics?
