One Republican lawmaker showed off his guns over Zoom, while blasted their colleagues for allowing mass shootings to happen due to their resistance to gun control laws, during Thursday's heated House Judiciary Committee hearing. Lawmakers held a markup session for the 'Protecting Our Kids Act,' which combines eight pieces of legislation in the latest Congressional gun control push on the heels of mass shootings in Buffalo, Robb Elementary School in Uvalve, and Wednesday night's killings in Tulsa. The bill would raise the purchasing age of certain semiautomatic centerfire rifles from 18 to 21 - as the shooters in Buffalo and Uvalve were both 18. It also goes after high-capacity magazines, ghost guns and bump stocks and mandates certain requirements for firearms storage on residential facilities.
