How do you carry a rifle in a gym bag? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

Pure ignorance. And this time from an ex-secret service agent on NBC news. Hopefully she was just a paper pusher in the SSA.

[/QUOTE] Some members of Congress do carry legally. Like Dave Reichert, former King County Sherriff in WA state. He observes the laws of both WA state DC. Be nice to see more observance of the 2nd by our law makers; own and take responsibility for their own safety. And bolster that with security. Not necessarily SSA, but perhaps, a Protective Service detail sponsored/monitored/funded by DHS. The former servicemen and women who could do with a well paying job with benefits. Yup, arguments for and against the opinion that I just wrote. We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid." ~ Benjamin Franklin.

Are you sure you really want to go there? That's the same "logic" Democrats and leftists have used in the past, anytime somebody not-a-Democrat/leftist committed mayhem on the innocent with a firearm. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe "If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher | |||

This makes sense and there was a detail here that seems to have prevented much worse outcome. Providing a detail to every Congressman would get expensive quickly. Two person detail adds up to six people just so cover M-F with 8 hour shifts. Add in time off, weekends, sick time and your looking at 10+ people per congressman. Now if they have a detail who drive them and in what. Add in vehicles for each detail. This would get very expensive. There are crazy people out there and this guy is certainly one of them but these things happen very infrequently. Im fine with Congressmen being able to carry if they can meet the same qualifications others have to. Maybe start with notional carry laws so they and others can carry in their home state and others when they travel. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

WAS married. HAD a kid. He is now fertilizer, and carrying on a completely different conversation than was his custom. It will be a short one. Actually, he's finished already, and has a completely different perspective on life, the Universe and everything.

I do not want the U.S. Gov't anywhere near my right to carry firearms. Somehow, someway, they'll fuck it up. | |||

Well, let's think about that. We have a rich variety of ahhh, ehhh, errrr, characters, in Congress, thingies that go up, Guam tipping over, Maxine, Sheila, who regularly demonstrate that they might be dangerous with sharp objects, let alone firearms. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

FFS. They should have to abide by all of the same laws that we have to. Is our republic not greater than these men and women? It's the ideas that we champion, not the royalty in the city where they decide to meet. If you want to carry a concealed pistol in DC, live under the same laws that your maid or taxi driver has to abide by. That includes varying laws from state-to-state. Is it a bitch to travel with a pistol? GOOD. It is for the rest of us as well. You are no greater or less than I am. We just chose for you to represent us while you're in D.C. You are not royalty or of some divine bloodline. “The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it.”—H.L. Mencken | |||

Thank goodness the kook was alone and didn't do even more harm. What the hell is wrong with some people...? | |||

The SAA already felt they needed better security for the rank in file members. They will get it, and quickly, too. | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
I don't know what I was expecting, but I was very impressed by that news conference by the FBI and the two chiefs. No speculation, just facts. And the reporters asking the same questions over and over...my word it hasn't even been 12 hours. Dam the media is disgusting. | |||

The FBI agent in charge made me think of Samuel Gerard from The Fugitive in that press conference. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

I just saw an update reporting it was actually a SKS with a scope... I'd like to see a picture - might have been a 10/22 for all the media actually knows. NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

I heard an interview with a witness earlier in the day who said he saw an AK-47. May very well be an SKS. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

It doesn't sound like a 10-22 on the video. Among the witnesses I've heard, an M-4, AR-15, SKS, AK-47, full auto according to some bimbo sounding former SS agent supposedly. Good grief!

For the record, the female Capitol police officer was actually shot in the ankle according to a recent update. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||
