Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., wasn't having any of New York Democrat Jamaal Bowman's political posturing.
Bowman, a former middle school teacher-turned-congressman, condemned Republican members of Congress practically to their faces yesterday for their supposed inaction on gun violence. His rant, tailor-made for social media, came just off the House floor as lawmakers from both parties meekly shuffled past.
While the Bronx Democrat — a prominent member of AOC's “Squad” — aggressively proclaimed that Republicans didn't care about the lives of children, Massie approached with a simple question.
One Bowman couldn't answer.
Just the News has more:
Massie stopped to speak to him, asserting that schools with permissive gun regulations have not faced school shootings. Bowman then grew visibly angry and moved closer to the Republican, gesticulating emphatically.
“Carry guns? More guns lead to more deaths!” Bowman yelled, prompting Massie to retort that every school that has permitted teachers to carry has never suffered a mass shooting nor an accidental discharge.
Bowman became increasingly agitated throughout the exchange and Massie eventually disengaged, attempting to address onlooking reporters directly as Bowman pursued him, seeking to continue the exchange.
Later, in response to claims that not every teacher wants or is qualified to carry, Massie shared a text he received from an educator.
Massie plans to reintroduce a bill to repeal the federal Gun-Free Schools Act next week.

a teacher. middle school counselor. middle school principal. there in is your problem Bowman.
you ask has he look at the data? have you looked at ALL the data Bowman? we don’t mean only the data you want to spew. we are talking about the DATA THAT SHOWS on average 500K to THREE MILLION TIMES A YEAR a gun is used in self defense. used to stop a murder. stop a violent attack. stop a RAPE.
yes Bowman. we have looked at the data. when are YOU GOING TO LOOK AT ALL THE DATA and not stand in the hallways bouncing around making a spectacle of yourself. not assaulting another Conress member that would have a civil conversation. not stand in front of the media spewing half truths.
how many recent mass shootings were stopped before the attack or during the attack by a law abiding citizen? how much longer are YOU going to allow gangs and drug lords to hold YOUR people and community’s hostage to violence.
act civilized. stop the fake outrage.
Tell the SOB he will have no success altering two parts of the Constitution, the second amendment and article 1, section 9, clause 3, the no ex post facto clause. I am very pro-second amendment and the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence but will tell this POS if anybody attempts to alter the second amendment I may campaign to throw out the entire bill of rights, but hopefully, he will somehow comprehend that abolishing the second does eliminate an unalienable right. And as many have stated surrendering some freedom for “safety” you soon will neither. See Chavez and the poor saps in Venezuela.
If you recently haven’t read the second paragraph of the D of I please do so. It is one of the best essays ever.
Almost all gun crimes are committed in gun free zone, including schools
Not almost all gun crimes BUT ALL GUN CRIMES. Deep blue cities in deep blue states don’t have legal carry and the most gun murders. The state is one big GUN FREE ZONE.
When righteous people have guns, more guns lead to more deaths of malefactors. The problem is NOT guns. The problem is moral and ethical decay in our society. Don’t like someone? Blow them away. Want what someone has? Blow them away. Bowman is a moron not to know that gun deaths proliferate in blue zones run by anti-gun DemoCreeps.
The shooter in Denver some time ago chose the ONLY movie theater in town that was A GUN-FREE ZONE. NO DANGER, do what you want! Understand? How simple do we have to make it before the Bowmans understand? Tell us, and we’ll make it happen.
