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.
