So, Boebert admits in the beginning that she had FEAR of what was behind that door
on January 6.... I thought it was a simple tour of the Capitol building and a peaceful protest?
They all have two faces.
Maybe ut was both? Why not? /s
@@maureenlaneski2802 Yes, there were peaceful people there who went to protest what they truly believed was a stolen election. I have a friend who went...she even made the news recently, and admitted to the judge that she was there because DJT told them to come. Remember, “Big protest in DC on January 6th.” “Be there, will be wild.” and several others by him and other influential individuals. She also went into the building because they let the people in through some of doors, not all.
There were hundreds others who stayed outside and continued a nonviolent protest. Others came as disrupters and with violent intent.
Human beings are a complex mixture of motivations, and I feel like many good people got swept up in the contagion of the protest. For the people who did physical harm to Capitol police, made threats to ‘Hang Mike Pence,’ stole government property (the podium, papers etc) they are feeling the legal consequences.
We can’t live a peaceful life in society unless we agree to certain ground rules: like which side of the road we drive on, what do traffic signals mean....do not steal....and do not kill.
Y'all make a good point. I was kinda getting sour. One thing, tho, you don't slap a bull's rear and get to act surprised afterwards. At least not if you're a "normal" person.
Yah, why wouldn't she be afraid of FBI informants and agents dressed up as protestors trying to rile up a group of angry people?

Always Outta Control and the Gross Squad do NOTHING In Congress. AOC is still telling the Jan. 6th LIE that she was in danger and she was no where lose to the issue. These frauds bought their way in and want people to believe they got the votes? 😂 They don’t want to work for the country, they blatantly work AGAINST it and just screech out into the void, having accomplished nothing while in office. They ALL need to go!

It was outlined actually... They are allowed to carry but on the house floor and select chambers if I heard correctly. Why should they give up their rights when they walk in the building?
Holy shit this is why nothing gets done, how can a committee make decisions if they cant even decide on the rules for even holding said committee? What are we paying these people for?
I think the better question is why are we electing some of these people.
@@scooter2163 we don’t elect them. We elect people who want to do the job and the ones who actually get it are the ones paying their way in or harvesting ballots and cheating to “win the election”. They’ve done NOTHING while in office and should’ve been fired the day they said they wouldn’t work with a sitting president. In what other job can you go to work and tell the boss or the owner of the country, “You’re disgusting. I don’t like you. I won’t work with you and I will do everything in my power to work against you.”? A normal person would be fired on the spot, yet Always Outta Control in the Gross Squad say it and they get put on the cover of a magazine. It’s insanity and they need to go NOW!
@scooter we're not. They only win their seat by cheating: gerrymandering and voter suppression

Congratulations! What a brilliant display. In any private company, in ANY company, these clowns would be all fired on the spot.
Not all…
You know it!
@kathyratino962 I'd say all. I'd constantly be quoting founding father gun quotes and that to infringe upon their rights to keep and bear arms is a crime against the U.S. Constitution. To swear oath to uphold and to defend the U.S. Constitution and then be a criminal against it is perjury and unconstitutionally criminal. I'd read the definition of infringe before everyone to make sure everyone knows that it means to limit. These are all pussy weaklings. To limit the right of the people to keep and bear arms is a crime in the U.S.A. private places is another thing altogether. For property owners have the right to limit people from bringing arms on their own property. Tax funded buildings, properties, and streets by law they can't limit. They can't limit based on age, sex, race, etc. either by law. That's how you get shit done. Straight forward. The only thing I agree with is discipline training in arms as being a free requirement because the founding fathers said so.
And that would be a good start, Pedro. : O )
Highly vetted? I present to you George Santos 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Didn't know this was the firearms carry committee. I thought it was the natural resources committee.
I know. How in the hell does carrying fire arms into the floor have to do with natural resources?
It's called business, folks. Taking care of business. Similar to knowing where the fire exits are located.
@@commontater8630 Oh! So are you saying bickering on fire arms on the floor is discussing natural resources in which the committee was established to do?
Natural resources might mean that members of congress in future have to hunt for their lunch. Regarding Paul Gosar: he seems to have a severe tick, would he be excluded from carrying fire arms on that ground?
Btw: in Zurich (CH) we had our first and last ‚mass‘ shooting around 1983, when the head of the building departement of the city government felt mobbed by his staff. He went and shot 4 of them and wounded a fifth.
In 2001 they had another mass shooting when a citizen entered a meeting of the parliament of Kanton Zug. He shot around 20 of them. Since then we have metal detectors on all entrances of government buildings.

He should have just said that he'll get more info and bring it to the next meeting. Then, switch back to the natural resource issues.
Yep, common tactic on that side of the street. For him, in that position, that's fucked up.
I can't believe we're having to have a discussion about bringing firearms into a committee hearing.
Not surprising or shocking considering they are willing to let firearms be kept in classrooms. Gun safety classes use to teach their students to; 1. Always assume a gun is loaded and 2. Keep guns away from children.

It ain't that serious. Just political jousting.
As an American, I’m just appalled as you are.
The question should be, "If you feel that no one here is a threat, why is there need to bring a gun into the room"?
The point is not what you think. The point is to show how exercising a RIGHT, which cannot be taken away, is done responsibly. In other words, an exercising of rights is to educate those around you.
@@WillHal1000
Well regulated militias don't behave that way.
@@Repdem Then u have no idea what the founders meant when they said "well regulated"
@@Repdem You cannot have a militia, regulated or otherwise, if the people don't have the right to keep and bear arms. That's why it says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" after mentioning a well regulated militia in the second amendment.
@@I3igI3adW0lf Nope. The states were worried about the federal government disbanding their militias which were formed to keep slaves from uprising. Therefore, the federal government is not supposed to interfere with 'their people' keeping and bearing arms and the reasoning (excuse) was that it would enable the states to have a well-regulated milita.
If our representatives don’t trust each other, how can we trust them.
Gosar threatened to kill another member of congress. How can you trust Gosar when his own siblings thinks he's dangerous?
There's a number of representatives in both the house and the senate that I wouldn't trust.
Paul Gosar put out a campaign ad, which actually depicts him murdering AOC. Would you trust him, after seeing something like that?
the only ones not trusting other representatives and thinking that CCW permits are given like popcorn in a movie theater are AOC and company........ they are indirectly saying that CCW holders are not educated in the use of firearms.... like if it was so simple to get a CCwW permit! Jesus H. Christ enlighten them!!
Can't trust them at all, anytime for anything.
Get her to explain why she feels the need to take a firearm into a committee room.
"...keeping wolves out of Colorado..." sheer insanity.
Is that important for the nation and Colorado...don't think so!
you do realize what she implied by that?

These two aren't scared for their safety. They just want to decide who can have guns, and who can't. It's about their power, nothing more.
I agree she wants to have power to say no guns till she gets threatened or scared…

As posted at the entrance of all federal buildings, firearms are not permitted except for federal law enforcement officers.
That is not true
@@patriot4757 Actually it is - "The possession of firearms and dangerous weapons is prohibited in federal facilities. In a Federal building, firearms or dangerous weapons are prohibited. exception The lawful activity of carrying firearms or dangerous weapons in a Federal facility where a weapon may be used to harm somebody." As a reporter I have never entered a federal building without being screen for a weapon first. There should be no question as to whether or not members of Congress should be able to carry weapons on their person.

@@florencemarlowe JANUARY 20, 2021
Five days before the Capitol insurrection, 83 House Republican lawmakers wrote a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy asking them to uphold lawmakers’ right to carry firearms inside the U.S. Capitol complex. They cited several attacks, including a 1954 shooting by Puerto Rican nationalists who wounded five Congressmen; a 1998 shooting that killed two Capitol Police officers; and a 2017 shooting at a Congressional baseball practice in Northern Virginia, which left four people wounded.
One of the signatories on the January 1 letter, freshman Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, made headlines for lashing out at Capitol Police who insisted that lawmakers go through metal detectors that were erected at the entrance to the House and Senate chambers following the insurrection on January 6. At least a dozen other lawmakers also refused, pushing their way past Capitol Police. The episode prompted Pelosi to announce a $5,000 fine for members who refused, and $10,000 for each subsequent offense.
A 1967 law bans civilians from carrying guns on Capitol Hill, even if they have concealed carry licenses. But the law carves out an exception for lawmakers, who can keep firearms in their offices. Guns aren’t allowed everywhere: They’re prohibited in the House and Senate chambers and their adjoining lobbies and cloakrooms, the Marble Room of the Senate, and the Rayburn Room of the House.
@@florencemarlowe You realize that members of Congress are exempt from most of the laws the impose on the surfs. You are supposedly a reporter, not a member of Congress.

Are you aware that most democratic countries change their constitutions from time to time.Constitutions are not written in stone.A referendum is held and the citizens vote on the amendment.This is basic democracy.
These people are nuts! Why would u bring a gun to work! Especially if u already have your own police force. Imagine one of these people getting upset and losing an argument. Or doesnt like what the other person says and then starts popping off. You have to admit that some of these representatives shouldn't even have a gun.
When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.
Most people think others will act in the same way that they do. Therefore, you're assuming that, since you would get upset and shoot someone else in an argument, that everyone else would. I would suggest you don't get a firearm.
Who shouldn't have a gun and what grounds do you base that belief on?
Most of these representatives shouldn’t be representatives.

To manipulate people. OMG they cutting social security. And Biden's best line when talking to blacks, "Republicans are gonna put you all in chains."
Fear is such a great way to manipulate people into victim mentality and keep them there. AOC and others need to stop their whining and get some work done
@@JustMe-zk2wh I'm sorry dude but 1) I don't want to know that I'm going in to a workplace that should be secure that I have to worry about a constituent who has a gun, is a little unstable, might have a bad day. 2) That everyone has interpreted the rules as acceptable to carry so there might be a crazy day when everyone's having a bad day and I'm stuck in the middle of it.
@binh Huynh so to have a ccl you can't have certain charges on your police record, especially violent ones. Yet here we are with sitting members that have these kinds of charges and are probably more unpredictable than someone with a ccl. Ps in reference to the security of the building, you drive a point with the key words SHOULD BE.
Yet, fear has never created a job. Odd, eh?
This is a perfect example of why nothing important gets done they are to busy quibbling over who did or said what. Not a single concern over those they are supposed to represent or what they are there to actually do. .
From the same people who demand GFZ in schools were our children are at high risk, but have armed detail protecting them at all times.
Ask AOC if she's willing to give up her security guards to go defend our nation's children, and i bet I know her answer.
Maybe because some of those congress members have been physically threatened? Some of them have been targeted by shooting them in a political ads. You don't think those congress members should be more wary of their safety?
From Tuckers lips to your ears…..
Makes sense if your dizzy, drugged or drunk I suppose.
GFZ, as all sane people know, allows stiffer penalties to be charged against anyone committing a crime with a gun there. THAT is why they were created, because it is so extremely heinous to bring a gun around children that they deserve harsher punishment.
How desperately sad to live in a country where people can even consider the possibility of carrying a gun into a governmental committee meeting.
why?
How sad that there are people like you who think it's sad. 120 years ago when people respected the constitution, it would not even have to be discussed. If you don't like the constitution, change it. Oh yea that right, you've already neutered it. First the second amendment, now the first!

Don't worry. Nobody is trying to get rid of that right as specified in the second amendment.
As for the past let's go back 150 years to the old west where most towns had laws requiring that anybody who came into town in possession of a gun had to immediately hand over the gun to an authority figure such as the sheriff or to the owner of the town hotel.

Absolutely
When stupidity and ignorance collide… carry firearms to a committee meeting to prove what?
If our national legislative body cannot agree that responsibility for the security of that body is properly vested in its security force (i.e. the Capitol Police), because some individual members believe that their 'personal' security - or their gun-toting ideology - overrides all other considerations, then we as a nation are in deep trouble.
We're in deep trouble.
They make donations off the sound bytes. Boebert will be sending out these clips with several donate to me emails.It’s gross. Gosar too. While they threaten other members outside the chamber.AOC made a very good point. Sounds like they are trying to be vague and push it through. Very shady.
Totally Agree - very well stated!
They should bring back duels.
I mean, if a weapon is inside the committee's room, who are they intending to shoot?
Olive oil is right
Every single day everyone walks by many many many concealed guns and they wouldn’t even know. God they’re nuts.
People are not concerned about the concealed guns that remain concealed. It's the ones that come out of concealment for the wrong reasons that are concerning. If nobody ever got shot by the crazy ones, this would not be an issue.

@@lindarock4128 You do not need to convince me of the ineffectiveness of gun regulations in America. I know first hand.
I am not promoting a gun regulation agenda. My only point was that most anti-gun people are not concerned about responsible gun owners (such that they exist). They are concerned about the irresponsible ones.
In the same way that fear drives many people to own guns, fear also drives other people to try and restrict those guns. A large majority of Americans live their lives in fear of one thing or another and most do not react rationally to that fear.
AOC is right, she had a reason to be concerned. 🙏🏾👏🏾
I'm so happy Bobert acknowledges that the capitol police were over whelmed and should be credited for their courageous deeds. I bet she voted to reward them with medals of honour!

@Walter Pierce or he is holding back laughter from asinine questions?
What puts a smirk on my face is republicans swearing the dems are the ones changing narratives or lying about events.
Also how are those questions asinine when Boebart is indeed suggesting carrying weapons anywhere in government buildings.
@Daniel Essex it's asinine how much noise democrats make about guns except in, Chicago, Maryland, Philadelphia, Saint Louis, etc etc. It's asinine how they make so much noise about taking rights from responsible gun owners and no bail for irresponsible gun users.

So if I'm hearing this right, the members of the house are not permitted to bring guns in the committee chambers yet some do anyway? Would this not be the same as an American citizen bringing a gun into a gun free zone? If so then shouldn't the members of congress that are violating the rules be prosecuted the same as a citizen that violates a gun free zone restriction?
No, they shouldn't. Any law that violates the US Constitution is null and void. Government has no business in dictating what I use to defend myself.

What part of the argument did I miss? Elaborate.
I cannot believe that they are allowed to carry guns in a committee room.
Why?
Who is going to stop them, you ?
amazing! this is sacred grounds! and they hold sacred positions! these people should be held accountable to any statements they made in public! crazy is ruling and holding power! crazy ain't it?
It's crazy!
Past 🤪 crazy! No weapons or guns of any type!
That anyone considers any of this sacred is part of the problem today. These are public servants who won popularity contests and are there to do as they are told for a short period of time. Most, especially on the left, are incompetents who can't survive in the real world.

For what purpose do people want to bring firearms into the capital and what kind of message does that give?
Are they afraid of another insurrection?
But there wasn’t an insurrection. It was just a gaggle of tourists enjoying a day off, she said, with a wink and a nod.
I watched bobbet yelling the floor plan lay out on jan 6th!🇬🇧
Huge props to AOC. Sitting across from the twitching fool who posted memes of him killing her and then the jack-fool who kept asking her and the others to identify who they should fear. As if there is NO reason to mistrust them.
Poor AOC the border hopper who couldn't handle some internet memes
For all these politicians that are against the 2nd amendment, go pitch a tent at the boarder for a weekend with no armed guards, tell us how safe you are.
No one is “against “ the 2A. Stop with the Cliff notes already.
Sue lives in North Dakota but still whining about the border
Yeah and take sleepy Joe and cackle Kamala with them 😊
The chair won't answer what the rules are!!!! Wow ridiculous
Seems like a good thing to discuss at a natural resources committee
Well, at least we know boebert wants to keep wolves out of Colorado. Wolves have been there before an Europeans came to this country. They belong there.
_Never_ underestimate or ignore the legal arguments of AOC.
Lol. For real? She’s a paid actress dude. A professional victim.
@@alienlife7754 You DO know that Paul Gosar -- who was sitting in that very room -- posted a video that showed him killing her?
@@alienlife7754 She was literally being hunted on 1-6 ...were those your people? She's smarter than most of the room and they're afraid of her so they mock her.
@@michaelelder3131 She was being hunted while not even being in the capitol building?
@@michaelelder3131 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 What a dweeb
Concept: Law Makers should be familiar with The Laws that exist when they are working on making new laws or editing or deleting existing laws…
...and not try to baffle their fellow committee members with bullshit.
No one should be allowed to bring a firearm into any meeting. Who are these people…..where did they come from.
These clowns are debating weather or not it's ok to carry a firearm into the capital without knowing if it's even lawful. Unbelievable
The Supreme Court has ruled that your safety is your own responsibility.
Run on the money They also said it's the duty and obligation of the individual citizen to do so Nice reference
Castle Rock v Gonzalez
@@bobfoster687 Thanks I hadn't even heard of that one before. It's just more proof that even with officers that believe in trying to come to the ages civilians they can't and unfortunately our legal system is working against the victims and for the criminals Thanks for sharing that information.
Then what’s the function of the police, sheriffs, and any form of law enforcement?
That was a long-winded way of the chair to act I don't want to make that decision because it will be fuel for me to be ousted when the house flips back
That, in itself, is the sad, cynical view. That goes to politics, re-election, and delusional.
Jesus…is this REALLY what we’ve come to? Next they’ll be debating whether or not they can bring Flame Throwers into the committee rooms.
Not flamethrowers 😂😂😂😂
So this is why nothing ever gets done.
Your upset gun grabbers didn't get their way?
I found this refreshing. Pointing out they were not unarmed, they were DISARMED, and made helpless.
"Reasonable"carrying a fire arm in Congress? Sick America....
If they want to carry firearms it is to be able to use them when they want , if they need them it is usually to late. So this is a question of anarchy or not. Do they want anarchy in congress ? Absolutely YES.
Dude was sweating at AOC's questions
He was too scared to answer, total 😺, if I were AOC I’d go in there strapped too. What is the reason for anyone in congress to be walking around with a gun? The question should be asked, who does he/ she feel that is a threat to them that they feel they need to walk around with a gun
Huh...didn't seem it to me.
To me, it looked like he was trying not to laugh at her lol.
AOC and Barack Hussein Obama , Planned All The 911 Attacks and All The Radial Muslins Attacks and Yes We Only Have Our Freedom Be😢 Of Our 2nd Amendment 😊
I have never seen someone trying hold back laughter so hard before. AOC's grandstanding is always good for a nice chuckle.
"(having a firearm) wouldn't worry you, would it? I mean, if you don't see it and most particularly if you don't hear it." English Bob, Unforgiven
The should just do all of this on a zoom call - so they can bring all the guns they want at home
This is the NATURAL RESOURCES committee ACUTALLY debating whether they should be able to BRING FIREARMS INTO A committee meeting or not ,... Let that sink in. Talk about a TOXIC work environment. Just imagine for one minute an all teams meeting at your work where the 1st few hours are whether you should be able to bring guns in or not.
Well then...seems to me those that was hollering insurrection would want firearms...
Yeah you would think so but then again since as they were the ones to orchestrate the whole thing trying to create a way to offset all the bad publicity that they're little animals they at least on the cities to burn them and riot and loot had caused them means that they know they aren't actually in danger. It's just like them knowing the whole time that there was medication that if taken when you caught COVID it would allow you to survive but they suppressed it so they could push a vaccine that never worked. Typical Democrat bullshit. But it was entertaining to watch
Shows you how much of an insurrection it really was
LOL
We don't have gun permits around here, some of my neighbors leave their garage doors open overnight and no one dares to go inside or steal their kids bikes in the front yard.
Also, people are for the most part very polite.
@OldskoolN8ive A polite society that blows your brains out for stealing a bicycle. LMAO
Well aren't you lucky, what's your point.
@@dutchdna Everyone has a choice to make, don't make bad one's, there are REAL consequences.
Your neighborhood is an exception to the rule these days.
Yep i grew up when we never needed to lock our doors. We also knew all of our neighbors. That is something i still work at. Knowing our neighbors is very important.
That VERY FACT that they are actually discussing this is scary as s**t
NO it's healthy!! Get it through your metro or suburban head.
@@johnhill7585 No it's not. Can you imagine going to a meeting at your job to discuss the rules of a committee to run a project and you are arguing about whether members should be allowed to bring GUNS into the meetings! I swear congress is the single most toxic workplace I have ever seen. I don't know how they actually run the country.
Televising this on a loop in U.S Government classes would wake up a few future office holders.
I would like to hear Boebert name the Congress members who pulled their guns and helper Capitol police, because that number is absolutely ZERO
😂😂😂 ZERO
Didn't she say that they weren't allowed to have them???
Yes they should be able to carry
To purchase arms is their 2A right under the constitution but to carry them into the house or senate must be debated and voted on ! This is why a constitutional Republic is so transparent and fair ! But there is one thing I can assure that if all members decide to be armed you can bet your bottom dollar that there will never be any attempt at a real insurrection ever !
Second Amendment. All that needs to be said.
Exactly 💯
Not when you're sharing a room with that crazy lot on the other side of the aisle.
So well screened don't think George Santos would agree as he could bring a gun to work !!!
We all need to know!!! We all live in America! And it's our right!
But not in federal buildings. Why are our representatives able to have more rights than the common people?
When I carry concealed nobody knows, and as long as the firearm is properly holstered there would never ever be an issue of negligence. Accidents don't happen; negligence does but negligence can be defeated completely! 2A is all AMERICAN!
The way people drive their cars, you now trust them carrying guns?!?
It was no accident when the US Military fired upon unarmed students at Kent State "Accidents don't happen"
@Sharon Zuck-Dignard people that have it in themselves to break the law will do just that. Guns are prohibited on school grounds, but did that stop the criminal from doing that?
You don’t need a gun at the Capitol. Members of Congress, as Santos demonstrates, are not vetted.
Boebert is insane.
Completely speculating here, but the only reason I can fathom they want firearms without disclosing who has one so that the next time there is an insurrection they can help the insurrectionists from the inside.
Social media makes politics more like a reality TV show. Who ever spends the most money gets the most influence
That’s historically been the case as far back as the Romans and it’s still no ok.
AOC is more annoying than losing electricity at home.
Speaking of grilling, I thought she was against gas stoves.
🤣🤣 yeah but I guess you wouldn't have any problem eating a steak cooked on one 🤣
AOCD has a gas stove. Gas has a smell so you know if there's a leak. No smell no problem.
"Do you have a reason to believe that there is a homicidal maniac in this committee?"
HELL, YES!!!
yeah - AOC
