A pro-gun Republican lawmaker recently attempted to compare a Parkland, Fla., mass shooting survivor to insurrectionists. According to The Daily Beast, Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) recently appeared on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" where he shared his reaction to being confronted by Parkland survivor and activist David Hogg.
When the House Judiciary Committee convened on Wednesday, July 20, to discuss gun control legislation, the pro-gun Republican lawmaker laid out his arguments in opposition of stricter laws. According to Business Insider, Biggs argued that "Americans, specifically residents of his state, need assault weapons to protect themselves against an 'invasion' of undocumented migrants, whom the conservative lawmaker said posed 'a danger or threat.'"
