Ballasy reported that back in July, Jackson Lee “introduced several gun control bills in the House, which would ban the possession of firearms over .50 caliber and restrict individuals ‘from storing a firearms in a residence’ where someone ‘under 18 is likely to get access to the firearm without their permission.'”

Radio host and former NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch shared a thread on the footage from Blaze Media’s Jason Howerton, asking, “How are these people qualified to write legislation on this when they demonstrate such cluelessness?” – READ MORE
