As freshman New York Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman announces to onlookers that Republicans are “gutless” and “cowards” for their failure to act after the latest, not last, mass murder at a school by an attacker using an assault rifle, Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie, a co-chair of the Second Amendment Caucus, attempts to confront Bowman, claiming guns save lives. Telling Massie he doesn’t have facts, Bowman notes that gun death rates are higher in states that have open carry and other laws that provide easy access to guns. Steny Hoyer, an embarrassed senior statesman in the House, tries to de-escalate the situation unsuccessfully.
