Steube made headlines in June when he pulled out several guns during a live Zoom session of the House Judiciary Committee, convened to debate gun laws.
Steube argued that the law limiting high-capacity magazines would have unintended effects, and he raised his own guns to demonstrate, while participating in the hearing virtually.
“I hope the gun is not loaded,” said Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee.
Steube replied: “I’m in my house, I can do whatever I want with my guns.”
