Congress is considering new legislation that would permit lawmakers to carry a concealed firearm wherever they perform official duties across the United States, according to a copy of the new bill that marks an unprecedented effort to help lawmakers confront a growing threat to their safety.

Funny -- I want the same thing!

[Husker24]

But not for the proletariat.

[SecondAmendment]

Only if it is for everyone !

[Red Badger]

There already is a law.
It’s called the 2nd Amendment.................

[rktman]

🔫. And here I thought that was what the 2nd amendment was for. Silly me.

[jdsteel]

Liberals are OK with incrementalism. I think that this is a step in the right direction.

Ding!

[skimbell]

"lawmakers" my azz.

Give it to everyone or walk around defenseless like your subjects have to do everyday.

Phony bast@r¿s!

[amihow]

No anti 2nd Amendment Democrat better carry one.!!!!!!

I’d imagine the background checks are going to be very, very problematical. Though I would support extreme psychological vetting.

[j_guru]

Yay! constitutional carry for everyone... oh, wait... just for the important people? ugh!

[reaganaut]

This should apply to all citizens

[DungeonMaster]

It’s good that the conversation is going that way rather than a law further restricting us peasants.

[null and void]

One set of laws for me, another for thee...

[Carl Vehse]

Since when does the full right of the Second Amendment ONLY to lawmakers and not to law-abiding citizens?!?

[ealgeone]

We already have it. It’s called the Second Amendment.

[reaganaut]

they don’t need to they already have armed guards.

[rigelkentaurus]

No special “perks” for government officials. None. Either we all have rights or we don’t. People in government should never be more equal than the people. The warpped thinking that Congresscritters should have special rights is one of the main swapcritter problems.

[Gay State Conservative]

I'm not at all certain that I have a problem with this.But perhaps while they're at it perhaps they can attach a clause stating that ordinary citizens....law abiding ones,of course...can do likewise.

[BOOHA]

good for me but not for thee

I’m all for term limits. One term, they live in a dorm, same pay rate as a pfc. And when its over, banned from any type of lobbyist and never set foot in Washington again.

I’m sick and tired seeing these a s s wipes entering with a net worth of $600,000 leaving 15-20 years later worth over $25 million. How does this happen?-—did you exempt yourself from laws we have to abide by?
