GOP Rep Flaunts Guns During Virtual House Meeting

The Washington Post reports:

As House Judiciary Committee debate continued, Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), appearing remotely, held up three guns to try to drive home a point. “Here’s a gun I carry every single day to protect myself, my family, my wife, my home,” Stuebe said as he displayed one of them.

The move alarmed some of his colleagues. “I hope that gun is not loaded,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.). “I’m at my house. I can do whatever I want,” Steube responded.

Steube was arguing against a provision in pending legislation that would crack down on large-capacity magazines. He argued that the provision would effectively outlaw the guns he owns because they can’t use smaller magazines.
