Houston group protests gun control outside Jackson Lee's office

A Houston group in favor of arming private citizens for free protested in front of the Heights office of U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee this morning.

Kyle Coplen and supporters of his Armed Citizens Project voiced their opposition against Jackson Lee, D-Houston, backing universal background checks, and her involvement with Mothers Demand Action, a gun law organization.

Coplen opened the protest around 10 a.m. by addressing the crowd of around 50 people and restating his goal of arming citizens with Mossberg Maverick 88 shotguns.

"Made in Texas," he said.
