Wow, I knew that Webb was a real paranoid jerk, but to get his aide arrested for carrying his gun? What a P.O.S. he really must be!

This guy ought to get a deal - plead immediately to the charges - and Bush should pardon him. Just to put egg on Webb's face, since Webb has been so rude to him.

According to congressional rules, congressmen and senators, not staff, are allowed to have a gun on federal property. Why? Are they also law enforcement officials?

There are a lot of very pro-gun Democrats just as there are anti-gun Republicans.

Webb's a Democrat, right? And what's this bull**** that Senators and Congressmen are ALLOWED to carry guns on Federal property?
I demand to know which Senators and Congressmen are carrying guns on Federal Property. They should open their records to all!
Woman and children are vulnerable here!

He's a democrat. One law for them, another law for the common person. He'll get away with it.

would probably vote against the Residents of D.C. having a gun in their own home.
What do you base that claim on? Is Webb anti-Second Amendment? Do you have evidence? I don't know how he is on the issue, so I'd like to be informed.

I'm just worried about this nut having a weapon close to President Bush.

Actually two or three people did in fact challange the law and the law was recently overturned by a federal court.

But I thought Democrats don't "do" guns! The Democrats don't want you to have guns. They can have all the guns they want for themselves!
