Am I the only person who sees the irony in the fact that John Lewis has gone from a civil rights leader to leading a protest against civil liberties?

So owning a dangerous killing machine is now a "civil liberty"?

John Lewis is doing much the same thing 50 years later - protecting people and making sure their lives are better.
As long as the Second Amendment is law, yes, the right to keep and bear arms is a civil liberty.

House Democrats say "we want a vote". Well, the Senate already had more than one vote on this issue, including an amendment proposed by a Republican which would have met almost all of the Democrats' goals. If Senate Democrats passed that bill, it would have gone to the House and it would have been voted on. If there's anyone House Democrats should be demanding a vote from, it's from Senate Democrats.
