Kinzinger says he considered firing weapon on Jan. 6
By Mychael Schnell - 11/09/21 04:13 PM EST

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) revealed in a new interview that he considered firing his weapon on Jan. 6 as pro-Trump supporters were storming the Capitol.

During an interview with CNN political commentator S.E. Cupp for Rolling Stone that was published Monday, Kinzinger said he was “hunkered down” in his office for six hours “with my gun out, prepared to defend against my own party” when the rioters were making their way through the Capitol.

Pressed by Cupp about whether he considered the possibility that he would need to use his firearm against American citizens, Kinzinger said, “Yeah, I thought about it.”


“If you’re already at a point where you’re beating down police officers, and you’re willing to sack the U.S. Capitol, which hadn’t been done in hundreds of years, if you come face-to-face with Chief RINO in his office, who doesn’t believe that Donald Trump won reelection, yeah, they’re going to try to fight and kill me, and I’m not going to let that happen,” Kinzinger added, referring to the pejorative “Republican in name only.”

Asked if he was ever "genuinely scared" on Jan. 6, the Illinois Republican said he felt that way at around 2:30 p.m., a moment when he thought, "Man, there’s a real sense of evil."

So basically, all his 'trauma' is around things he imagined in his own head.

I don’t believe him

He strikes me as one of  those “oh icky, guns!” types despite his military service

Yeah, suuuuure. I remember video from that day showing our intrepid congresscritters hiding behind the chairs in the chamber, trying not to soil themselves.

Too bad he didn't shoot anyone.  The odds are greater he would have shot at an undercover law enforcement officer than a real right wing boogeyman.

He considered firing a weapon at who exactly? Who was anywhere near this drama queen that posed an imminent physical threat? He sounds exact like a person that has no business with a CCW and I'm sure he is someone who believes none of us serfs should be able to carry.
