On Friday, South Carolina Republican congressman Ralph Norman held one of his ongoing “Coffee with constituents“ at Rock Hill Diner. At this meeting, according to various reports, constituents—some who are part of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America—wanted to discuss gun violence.
Instead of listening, Norman pulled out .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun. The Post and Courier, a local publication, first reported the incident. According to the report, he put the gun on the table and left it there for a several minutes “to make a point” that guns alone aren’t the issue.
Later, he implied to the publication that people need guns to defend themselves.
„I’m not going to be a Gabby Giffords,“ he said, referring to the Democratic congresswomen who was shot in 2011.
