Democrats are no strangers to hypocrisy, but their gun-control sit-in last Thursday might take the cake.
Twenty-six of the participants were gun-owners themselves!

The Democrats had no problem sitting on the House floor, demanding to take away second amendment rights for everyone on the no-fly list—including those who were put there arbitrarily—yet they kept on exercising their right to keep and bear arms.
Let’s remember, too, that the entire #NoBillNoBreak fiasco was because the Democrats voted against the Republicans’ reasonable gun control legislation and then threw a hissy fit that their own constitutionally-challenged bills were rejected.
