Republicans in the US House of Representatives on Thursday objected to a Democratic attempt to advance new limits on gun purchases as one Republican legislator pulled out his handguns at a hearing to complain that they could be banned.

Republican Representative Greg Steube, who attended the committee meeting virtually from his Florida home, contended the legislation would ban various handguns.

He held up four guns one by one for the committee to see.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler interjected, "I hope to God that is not loaded."

Steube retorted: "I'm at my house. I can do whatever I want with my guns."

There have been more than 230 mass shootings - where four or more people are killed or injured by guns in a single incident - in 2022 so far.
