The man who interrupted him (edit: Massie, KY) with nonsense about arming teachers just stopped Bowman's message with what he knew was idiotic. The nutbars who claim to want MORE guns are to be ignored completely because they are doing exactly what Bowman said: carrying water for the gun lobby. To even address nonsense arguments about things like arming teachers is a waste of time and that is the only point of such: to waste time.

DO NOT ENGAGE with faithless actors who just want to interrupt for its own sake. KEEP ON MESSAGE and keep doing this every single day until they answer questions seriously about gun control and saving children's lives.

Bravo! Bravo!
