 Follow this, if you can:

There's no such thing as gun violence," the lawmaker insisted. "There's only human violence. It's intellectually unsound to state otherwise." 

.... 

"CDC numbers, 620,327 legally induced abortions in America in 2020," he noted. "That same year, tragically, 4,357 children died from firearm accidental discharge, suicide, and homicides." 

.... 

"And I don't appreciate my Democrat colleagues constantly lying to the American people, referring to gun violence as if it's not driven by human violence, and ignoring the fact that America has allowed millions upon millions of children to be killed in the womb," he said.

Humans live in other countries yet there are more guns than humans in this country. And there have been more mass shootings in this country this year than there are days. And this is the only country where school shootings, or mass shootings, either, are such regular occurrence we don’t even notice they are more regular than sunrise.

But it’s “intellectually unsound” to call it “gun violence”?

All violence is “human violence.” Nobody calls the tornado that killed 22 in Mississippi “violence.”  And only crackpots call a medical procedure “violence.” 

This is clownish; even for Congress, even for Louisiana.
