Watch: Republican crushed after suggesting she is the only Congress member personally affected by gun violence

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) on Thursday claimed to be the only member of Congress affected by gun violence, and her comment drew backlash just moments later.

Luna described her lived experiences during a joint hearing on gun stabilizing braces held by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance and the House Oversight Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs.

“I am the only member of Congress that has both survived an armed robbery, a home invasion, a gang shooting on my school campus. And I remember being a young girl and being brought to a cousin's funeral that had been murdered, she was shot,” Luna said.

And just for the record Luna.....as a 15 year old I can still remember hearing the shots of my school administrator and a student being shot and seeing his body laying on the ground that was over 57 years ago.....and you want to know something Luna the student that was shot was the "first " student to be shot in the state....in 1966.....and in honor of my secondary administrator there is a Memorial for him at The National Teachers Hall of Fame......and yes, Congresswoman Lucy McBath has you pegged you are immature.....

She almost died at that airstrip near Jonestown, Guyana in 1978.

I heard her tell the story of it.

It send chills up your spine.
