Fox Insider:
After congressional Democrats ended their day-long sit-in on the House floor in a push for a vote on two pieces of gun control legislation, it has emerged that 26 of those Democratic lawmakers are gun owners themselves.
Heat Street examined 2013 USA Today data on congressional firearm ownership, finding that in addition to the 26 gun owners, there were 12 more congressional Democrats who did not answer if they owned a firearm or not.
The sit-in centered on two pieces of proposed gun legislation, one for expanded background checks and one for restricting gun sales to terror suspects.
By "terror suspects" they are talking about the
no-fly list, which has been widely reported to be fraught with errors. (h/t MH)

Color me astounded.
Weapons for me, but not for thee.
Was it ever thus.
That no-fly list is total tyranny. Who puts you on it? No ones saying. Once on is there an appeal process? No.
FWIW, there is an appeal process. Unfortunately, it's all in-house within DHS so you know that smirking simpleton, Jeh (who names their kid Jeh?), will make it as political as possible.
PS If you look at the full piece, you'll notice the office that puts people on the list is more secretive than CAG, ACE, or anybody else you can think of.
Like so much liberals and even the conservative establishment are doing, it only creates more Trump voters. We "gun clingers" can smell hypocrisy from miles away on this issue. And there are more "gun clingers" every year.
That "sit in" was only nominally about guns.
It's true purpose was fund raising on the part of those Congressmen who were able to get their ugly mugs on television, and their likenesses in print media.
If sit-ins did anything to curb gun deaths, those Congressdoofs would be sitting their fat butts down in the middle of Michigan Avenue in Chicago.
Purloined form Scott Adams:
Democrats use guns to kill each other; Republicans use guns to protect themselves from Democrats.

Interesting you put it that way. If, by "conservative establishment", you mean NRO, the Whigs, and the NeverTrump crowd, you're falling into their trap. They are not conservative.
But I do agree that this all creates more Trump supporters. Consider the fact off Breitbart that Brexit issues are having an effect on swing states.
I saw this somewhere, maybe Twitter. A picture of the Dems sitting in w/ the caption: Typical Democrat, sitting on their asses and getting paid for doing nothing.
I don't think they mean the "no fly list" at all, and I'm not alone. It really is worse than you think.
We! Are! The useless one percent!
We! Are! The short bus occupants!!
We! Are! Distracting you with rants!
We! Are! Hypocritically militant!
C'mon EVERYBODY! Idiocrat power!
The kabuki theater never ends with these people.
