The nation needs her. DU from 2022:

NAZI GOP signals time for Civil War.

Like their gun worshipping hero Adolf Hitler, today’s Republicans want to take the country down the Dead Ender path. THIS was during a hearing on STOPPING GUN VIOLENCE AT SCHOOLS!



'Whatever I want with my guns': GOP lawmaker pulls out handguns during House hearing on gun control

Candy Woodall
USA TODAY, June 2, 2022

WASHINGTON – Florida Congressman Greg Steube pulled out multiple handguns during a House Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday aimed at curbing mass shootings.

The Republican congressman appeared by video conference from his Florida home, arguing that Democrats are trying to strip Americans' constitutional right to bear arms by restricting the ammunition they use.

"Don't let them fool you that they're not attempting to take away your ability to purchase handguns," Steube said. "They are using the magazine ban to do it."

The congressman said his Sig Sauer P365 XL comes with a 15-round magazine and would be banned if the Democrats' "Protecting Our Kids Act" passes. The congressman also said the Glock 19 would be banned.

Snip…

The display of weapons added to the tension of a legislative hearing packed with partisan and personal broadsides over an issue that has deeply divided Ameicans (sic).
