It was a shocking scene in France and nearly commonplace in the United States. U.S. Representative Greg Steube from Florida brandished three guns from his personal arsenal at a House Judiciary Committee hearing about gun control. This hearing took place after the Ulvade killings.
The representative, who was opposed to firearms control, pulled out his guns to show that restrictions on magazines and cartridge formats would make certain models of guns in circulation ineffective. "This pistol, which I carry around to protect my wife and family, would be prohibited!" He annoys by brandishing his weapon.
Democratic Representative Sheila Jackson Lee stops the Republican from delivering his speech. The Democrat responds, "I hope the gun doesn't load." "I am at home. "I can do whatever you want with my guns," replied the Republican.
As lawmakers are urged to address soaring gun violence following recent Texas killings that left 21 people dead (including 19 children) and New York State, the hearing on gun control was held.
Joe Biden, Thursday June 2, called upon the US Congress for a solution to the problem of assault rifle sales. He also blasted Republicans who opposed it. Just over 200 mass murders have been committed in the country in the first month of 2022.
