'Whatever I want with my guns': GOP lawmaker pulls out handguns during House hearing on gun control
Candy Woodall
USA TODAY, June 2, 2022
WASHINGTON Florida Congressman Greg Steube pulled out multiple handguns during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday aimed at curbing mass shootings.
The Republican congressman appeared by video conference from his Florida home, arguing that Democrats are trying to strip Americans' constitutional right to bear arms by restricting the ammunition they use.
"Don't let them fool you that they're not attempting to take away your ability to purchase handguns," Steube said. "They are using the magazine ban to do it."
The congressman said his Sig Sauer P365 XL comes with a 15-round magazine and would be banned if the Democrats' "Protecting Our Kids Act" passes. The congressman also said the Glock 19 would be banned.
Snip
The display of weapons added to the tension of a legislative hearing packed with partisan and personal broadsides over an issue that has deeply divided Ameicans (sic).

Bastard gets a hard-on over blue steel and wants to whip the gun nut masses into a frenzy.

Sarah Palin is targeting -- yes, with gun sights -- House Democrats facing tough reelection fights who voted for health care reform.
Palin's Facebook page now carries a map featuring 20 gun sights, one for each of the Democrats targeted this year by her political action committee SarahPAC. Three of the gun sights, those where incumbent Democrats have already announced their retirement, are colored red.

(3,986 posts)are those who consistently vote against gun controlespecially those refusing to ban assault weapons.
They know who they are.
MSM should take their cameras to each of those politicians, keep the heat on, and publicize how much the NRA contributes to them.

(8,744 posts)But then we know there's no connection between mass shootings and easy access to "killing machine" type guns.
This was the kid's way of committing suicide; go out in a blaze of gory that people will remember.
Yes, I deliberately spelled it that way.

(89,141 posts)This cranky old retired lady ISNT in a newsroom anymore. But I worked in enough newsrooms to be BEYOND dismayed AND disgusted with the empty-headed pretty-boy and glamour-girl faces on the air now!!!
Now the priority is chasing ratings, NOT the truth. And somehow theyve granted trump a free pass to EVERYTHING and a get-out-of-jail-free card that he doesnt even have to buy or steal or make up.
The assassination attempt DOES NOT mean complete absolution from all his lies, crimes, and double-dealings. Seems like thats all gonna be forgotten, or overlooked this week - as the media folks bend over backwards and turn themselves inside-out and upside-down to avoid and/or try to forget (and try to MAKE YOU forget) the unpunished criminal part that is trump.
Sorry to rant, but - hey - SORRY, but I just HAD TO.
