”Guns in the House? A raucous Natural Resources panel debate”
“House Natural Resources Committee Republicans on Wednesday defeated Rep. Jared Huffman’s (D-Calif.) push to reinstate an explicit ban on carrying firearms to the committee room”
“The panel’s chair, Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-Ark.), repeatedly declined to clarify, under questioning from Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Huffman, whether he interpreted House rules as barring firearms from committee rooms.”
“At one point, Huffman asked his colleagues for a show of hands to reflect who among them were currently not carrying a weapon — a question many Republicans declined to answer. He then asked how many lawmakers felt like they would need a weapon in the committee room.”
“I feel I need one everywhere here, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) replied, underscoring that it would “not be an unloaded weapon.”
“Democrats repeatedly pressed Westerman to answer how he interpreted the existing House rules for gun possession, though the push was ultimately unsuccessful”

And that is what MAGA has bought the Founder’s envision of the people’s house to, representatives so hateful and paranoid they they think they have to carry loaded weapons to conduct the country’s business
Biden might be endangering his own life in the SOTU Address
