A heated debate erupted in the halls of Capitol Hill on Wednesday when Democratic Representative Jamaal Bowman, a former middle school principal and advocate for gun control, was confronted by Republican colleague Thomas Massie.

The exchange took place two days after a 28-year-old former student opened fire inside a private Christian academy in Nashville, Tennessee.

"They're all cowards! They won't do anything to save the lives of our children. Cowards," Bowman said to reporters assembled outside the House chamber.

Massie, a Kentucky Republican, walked up to Bowman and asked him what he was talking about.

"I'm talking about gun violence!" Bowman shouted.

Massie told Bowman there had never been a shooting at a school where teachers were allowed to carry guns.

“More guns lead to more death,” Bowman responded.

Teachers carrying guns is the answer?!!!
I am petrified how calmly he answered with that, like... As if it was a totally normal and rational thing to say.
America is so backwards. It's gone beyond a joke to terrifying.

But 3 teachers at the school were armed. Still couldn't prevent the shooting

In my opinion if they can't give up one type of firearm after the 1000 shootings since January what is a life actually worth to them

From carrying a gun and having the courage and cold blood to actually use it goes a long way and not everybody as that ability in them. This is just another stupid manoeuvre to deflect blame.

I think that a former school teacher would have a better gauge about school

What he is saying in non-sense, wherever there are more guns and relaxed gun control, there is less violence using guns. He's a fool.
