It's time for House Republicans to "spare me the bullshit about constitutional rights," Democratic Rep. David Cicilline said Thursday during a discussion on gun restrictions in Congress.

After an outburst while debating legislation relating to "red flag" regulations, which would enable the government and law enforcement to seize weapons from anyone considered a risk, the Rhode Island congressman refused to give up any of his time.

Amendments to the bill that allow courts to issue "extreme risk protection orders," or "Red Flag" statutes, in the States "trample on an individual's due process and Second Amendment rights" were proposed by Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, a member of the House Judiciary Committee.

The protection of constitutional rights in the United States was labeled "bullshit" by Cicilline.
