U.S. House candidate: 'We should be allowed to shoot' anyone who doesn't take COVID seriously enough | 9 Aug 2021 | We should be allowed to shoot anyone who makes practical arguments regarding COVID-19, according to one 2022 California congressional candidate. The candidate is Steve Cox, an independent running to represent California's 39th Congressional District.
