I think this is a waste of Congressional time. Don't we have a budget that needs passing somewhere?

I do, she in a position as a politician and one who has survived a shooting should be able to weigh in on the topic. It is no different than someone who served in the military and now a politician weighing in on the military.

We're not talking about the ability to tell the story. We're talking about why anyone should give a **** what she thinks about guns, as if she is an authority on the issue. In case you're wondering, she's not.

She's a gun owner, in addition to being a gunshot wound survivor.

Talk about a couple of empty heads!

I have no problem with both sides of an argument being able to state their case. We are far better off for that.
