The chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security Peter King, R-New York, announced today that he will introduce a bill that would ban knowingly carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet of certain high-profile government officials.
[Mayor Michael Bloomberg] and I have discussed that we are introducing in the next several weeks legislation which would make it a federal crime to carry a weapon within 1,000 feet of any event which is attended by the President, the Vice President, members of the Senate, members of the House of Representatives, Cabinet officials, including the CIA director as well as federal judges,” King announced this morning at City Hall in New York City.

Not to worry, this will go absolutely nowhere.
Start canvassing King’s area now to get a good conservative to take his place in 2012.
“Top Republican?” - and Moe was the smartest Stooge.
Proving stupidity is bipartisan.
The very idea that some Republicans believe in the Master andSlave state is appalling.
BTW, had the Tucson incident happened while the dems still controlled congress before November, this and many more silly laws would have passed.
Elections have consequences.
show me where that is in the constitution
So now our elite masters can take away our rights with the very power of their presence? They subjugate the rights of the American people in favor of their rights to lord over us with impunity.
Thank God for the Republican revolution!
Not really. It is just that He is a member of the ruling class and members of the ruling class are much more important and need to be protected from us little people out here in fly over land.
Yeah this is gonna work! Another worthless law! I have told my Rep that the next time he does a public appearance,if I am there I have his back because I will be carrying. He said “thank you”!
If they can take our guns away while in their presence, what is to stop them from demanding our mouths are taped too?
Serious question.
The effing people need to read the Constitution.
Why not pass a "new law" that requires EVERYONE to stay 1000' away from each other?
This is beyond scary!
If this pases, it’s only a matter of time before it would apply to their Congressional aides. There would be thousands of GFZ’s throughout the country at any given time.
This proposal is already causing us harm. It supports the leftists' lie that the current political climate is exceptionally rancorous and violent.
King needs to stop abetting leftist destruction of our country. He should instead turn his attention to Conservative principles such as reducing spending, taxes, and regulation and securing the border.
The Fascist State has been born.
knowingly carrying a firearm within 1,000 feet
knowingly
The law is unenforceable.
