Dem Congresswoman Calls Sergeant At Arms On Republican Rep Over His Gun Video: “I Feel Unsafe With This In My Place Of Work” Erin Flockhart newspushed.com Haley Stevens, a Dem Congresswoman from Michigan just threw a public and vary obnoxious temper tantrum over her colleague’s gun video. Colorado Congressman Ken Buck wanted to have a little fun and made a 2nd amendment video using a gun he mounts on his wall. “I have just one message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one? Come and take it. #2A,” he said.

It is a public space. This behavior is threatening and unacceptable,” Haley wrote. “I feel unsafe with this in my place of work. I have been in contact with the Sergeant at Arms to express my concerns,” she added and she was serious. Your congressional office is not your private home. It is a public space.

Haley Stevens (@RepHaleyStevens) March 6, 2020 Beto O’Rourke decided to join in, and responded to Stevens’ post with his own message on Twitter. “This guy makes the case for both an assault weapons ban and a mandatory buyback program better than I ever could. These are weapons of war that have no place in our communities, in our politics or in our public discourse,” he commented.

Ken’s “AR-15? has no firing bolt and a trigger lock, besides he got permission cleared through several agencies prior to hanging it on his wall,” one wrote.
