Thomas Massie refused to let the gun control lobby spread their lies.
He stood up to one of their loudest and nastiest members.
And now Joe Biden and the Left are furious at Thomas Massie for his courageous act.
Thomas Massie is one of the strongest pro-gun members of Congress. He is the chairman of the Second Amendment Caucus and a staunch libertarian.
After the Nashville shooting, Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat congressman from New York, was standing in the House rotunda shrieking about the need for gun control.
Most members of Congress would have just let Bowman scream his lies to the adoring media surrounding him. And indeed that is what happened – until Massie came along.
According to Fox News, “Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., got into a shouting match with Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-NY, in the halls of Congress after the Democrat called Republicans ‘cowards’ for not supporting gun control in the wake of Monday’s school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee.”
Of course, the shouting match wasn’t a two-way affair. Massie calmly approached Bowman and asked him to support his bill to allow teachers to carry in schools.
Bowman reacted by screaming in Massie’s face and physically threatening him. At one point, it appeared Bowman was going to punch Massie in the face.
Massie calmly gave Bowman facts, telling him, “You know there’s never been a shooting at a school that allows teachers to carry?”
But every time Massie tried to make his case calmly, Bowman got more and more infuriated and physically threatening.
Most people in a situation like this would be scared for their safety and walk away. It was clear that Bowman was not in his right mind, and could be on the verge of doing serious physical harm to Massie.
But Massie courageously stood his ground and continued defending the rights of law-abiding gun owners throughout America.
The Fox News article continued, “Bowman continued to shout as another lawmaker approached and appeared to try to calm down the Democrat. Nevertheless, Massie and Bowman continued to talk over one another for more than a minute.”
Bowman later sent out a vulgar tweet using curse words to describe Massie and accusing him of being responsible for children’s deaths.
The article concludes, “Democrats in Washington are pushing for a universal ban on so-called ‘assault’ weapons, but the push lacks support from Republicans.”
Bowman is clearly a mentally unstable individual. His presence in Congress is dangerous to the other members.
But Democrats clearly want to use his threatening presence as intimidation for pro-gun Republicans who don’t want to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights.
Massie was not willing to be blackmailed like that. He stood down Bowman and told him the truth about guns and how to stop school shootings in a way that will actually work. As Democrats try to push more gun control, it’s fortunate that Congress has members like Thomas Massie who are willing to stand up to them in defense of the Constitution and the rights of Americans.
