'Let Me Finish, Let Me Finish!': Greg Steube Has Tense Exchange With Democrats Over Gun Control Bill

yield to a member of the democratic side who served in a combat area designated zone and deployment of our country anyone on the democratic side mr

steube

what is the purpose of the question my father my father no no let me

finish

let me

finish

I am I'm going to leave Of course you're taking my time, so I'm going to use team members because I'm offended by your suggestion that somehow, if we haven't served in a combat zone, we don't care about protecting the lives of our constituents. that's what happened to me, our relatives who have lost blood should be responsible for reclaiming my time president, I have seen my constituents die in battle, it is Mr.

Stooby's time and I will ask for an extra 40 seconds, they took me well, so I served In Operation Iraqi Freedom I served in the military and there is a lot of talk in Washington about weapons of war and my purpose in deferring to one of my colleagues who may have served was to ask him a specific question about what type of firearm he was given. He delivered. when you were deployed and the answer to that question is true, what would be defined as a weapon actually used in war has a selector switch for fully automatic and semi-automatic three-round bursts, so when I deployed it in 2006 in Iraqi Operation Freedom We were issued M4s in the United States Army.

Those M4s had a selector switch. Those selector switches allow you to have fully automatic or semi-automatic three-round bursts. Those firearms are not permitted for purchase in the United States today, as well. that these this cascade of weapons of war what they issued to me and again I would ask anyone who served in the deployed environment you are issued weapons that allow for fully automatic and three-round bursts that are not available for purchase in the United States United and it is Not what the Democrats are trying to ban today because that is already banned. What we're talking about is a semi-automatic rifle that is only used in semi-automatic form, so behind me is a typical AR platform weapon and you can't see it.

It's because it's on this side, not the other side, that it has a selector switch. That selector switch is either fire only or not fire safe or not safe and that's for semi-automatic operation of the gun, which means every time I press it. The trick I press, the trigger bullet comes out of the firearm. Alright, next slide and just move it. This is the most popular pistol in the United States and was purchased as a glock 19. It works exactly the same as this rifle. It is semi-automatic like that is semi-automatic the rifles are not available for purchase they do not have a selector switch for three round burst or fully automatic this is a semi-automatic pistol as fast as I pull the trigger on this glock 19 a bullet comes out of the chamber the functionality between that gun and this gun is exactly identical there is no difference so you are banning a class of weapons that you don't like the look of not because of their functionality not because of how fast a bullet comes out of the gun just because you don't like the way they look because they work exactly Maybe now move this one over another so now this is the glock 19 glock 19 comes with a 15 round magazine which according to this

bill

is legal, although it is interesting that a couple of weeks ago you banned 10 round magazines and then the you switched to a 15 round magazine.

It's interesting to understand the thought process there, but that's for another time. This is a sig sauer p320 that some of you probably saw at one of the hearings about the charger gangs. I showed my p320, this one comes with a 20 round magazine, so in this build, because it has a pickup with a 15 round magazine, this gun would be banned because you wouldn't be able to use it. Again, it works exactly the same as that gun. It works exactly the same as fast as you press the trigger. It's as fast as a bullet comes out, so now pass the next one to get that gun banned.

That would be nice because you can. Place a 15-round magazine. This is a lever action under this

bill

. Lever actions are apparently fine, but semi-automatic AR platform rifles are not fine, so we are going to discriminate the type of firearms we are going to use despite the fact that the functionality is the same, the only difference here is that after you press the trigger and a bullet comes out, you have to reload using the lever action, which saves you maybe half a second. The next one, which is also legal, is a tubular. It's a .22 tubular which once again and Mr.

Massey did a good job of highlighting how ridiculous the bullet calibers are. We are this, the democratic majority is discriminating against some of the most popular guns in the United States simply because they don't like the way they look, not because of the way they work and there are so many Americans who are confused when they see the semi-automatic rifle the Democrats want to ban as completely automatic, it's not that you can't buy it, that it's illegal. It is not a weapon of war a weapon of war has a fully automatic switch or a burst of three bullets I yield the rest of my time the gentleman yields for what purpose is the lady from Texas seeking recognition Mr.

President I propose to attack the last word that you have recognized thank you Mr. President with
