Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democratic Congressman Jamal Bowman of New York got into a heated argument about changing gun control laws, and Bowman raised his voice in an outburst.
Rep. Bowman thematically urged reporters in the House chamber to probe further into lawmakers who supported the second amendment before the yelling began. “They’re cowards! They’re all cowards! Children are dying!” Bowman began yelling.

“Question them! Force them to respond to the question, ‘Why the hell don’t you do anything to save America’s children?’” added the Democrat.
“You know, there’s never been a school shooting in a school that allows teachers to carry,” Bowman was interrupted by Congressman. Massie, who was standing nearby.
“Carry guns? More guns lead to more dead!” Rep. Massie was retorted by Bowman, who then began to verbally abuse him.
Massie answered calmly, “You’re just screaming at me,” and made an effort to leave the argument.
Bowman, a former administrator in the field of education, couldn’t help but be curious and decided to follow Massie. To satiate his curiosity, he grilled Massie with inquiries about his upbringing and career.
“We have guns here to protect us, and he doesn’t believe that kids should have somebody to protect them,” Rep. Massie’s words may be heard.
Rep. Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, is stepping up his attempts to have the federal Gun-Free Schools Act repealed. After encountering opposition in prior attempts, sources indicate that the legislator intends to present his contentious bill the following week. The action comes after fruitless attempts to win over other members of Congress, including a failed attempt to get Bowman to co-sponsor the proposal. As this story progresses, check back for updates.
