I'm so tired of these crybaby hypocrites

Ohio congressmen take issue with U.S. Capitol metal detectors; supported them in schools

*****

Three Ohio congressmen have reportedly taken issue with new metal detectors installed outside the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, objecting to increased security measures put in place after insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol building just a week ago.

All three of them — Reps. Steve Stivers of Upper Arlington, Bob Gibbs of Lakeville and Bob Latta of Bowling Green — previously supported efforts to install metal detectors in school buildings as a method of preventing school violence.

(snip)

2018, all three representatives voted for the Students, Teachers, and Officers Preventing (STOP) School Violence Act. Stivers was also a co-sponsor for the bill.

The bill would have also allocated grant funding for school districts to install “metal detectors and other deterrent measures,” according to a summary of the legislation.

Considering he’s from the district that was massacred, according to Kellyann anyway.

I’m glad Nancy is having none of it!

She must feel like she runs a day care center for spoiled toddlers.

He gave up that position in 2018 after the Dems did well in those midterms.
He has taken NRA money to about 51K.

snip-Stivers has received about $51,000 from various gun-rights groups since his first run for Ohio’s 15th Congressional District seat in 2008. In total, he’s received about $30,000 from the NRA’s “political victory” Political Action Committee (PAC). The rest of the cash comes from gun-rights groups such as Safari Club International and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, according to FEC records..

His wiki and NRA section-"Gun control
Stivers voted against legislation to require universal background checks for firearm purchases.[16] He voted in favor of making concealed-carry permits issued in one state valid in other states.[16] He voted against a measure to grant law enforcement agencies additional time to conduct firearm-purchase background checks.[16].


And because I am physically about 18 inches shorter then he is, and he was not looking in the North Market in Short North neighborhood of Columbus he walked right into the hand truck of political pamphlets I was moving. I ran over the tip of his right foot. Mutual apologies were exchanged.

He is smart and I think he could be Speaker of the House if the GOP wins in 2028.
