‘One pistol clip can change the balance of power’: Congress is wholly unprepared for a mass casualty event

“Our Democracy” continues to work as expected. Unfortunately.

I wish you would stop saying how JAN.6TH was a mass casualty event. Not one congressman or women would have been hurt if they were confronted that day. To say they would have is just pure BullSh!t! If they were hurt it would have been by CIA,FBI OR DOJ plants.

" a Capitol riot that had hundreds of lawmakers fearing for their lives."

Oh horse shit.!!! :(

[military cop]

Must have slipped their minds about the attempt at the Republican baseball practice.

Selective shaping of their carefully crafted narrative.

Lazy article.

"It’s for the M1 pistol in .308"

I hear that pistol weighs 40lbs. Just ask Sheila Jackson Lee (if you can commune with the recently departed).

President Kirkman approved

Trump is setting the tone of bravery and defiance in the face of this most recent spate of crazed anarchy.

“WTF is a pistol clip?”

ZACTLY!!!!

Congress must be feeling really uneasy about the decisions they have been making. Why else would the “servants” fear their “masters”?

[dforest]

Yes, this is what they are up to. The left wants to make sure that if the power goes to the right that they can shoot up the critters on the right and replace them with their own leftists.

Such truly filthy vermin.

Half-moon?

I am surprised this hasn’t come up before now. Dems and RINOs are playing with fire.

THIS is a Pistol Clip.

It holds 120 sheets of paper together.

[Alas Babylon!]

This is just an attack ad on Trump. They want people to be in fear he’ll have his pistol clipped MAGAts attacking the noble Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.

The governor of each state....sometimes with conditions imposed by the state legislature...selects the replacement - not the congress critter themselves. This is a matter for the states and not the federal government or any politician in the federal government to determine.

WTF is a pistol clip?

As you know, it's a magazine--for those whose firearms literacy is restricted to watching television.

The reality is, Congress should fear the people. But the most those lick-spittle miscreants had to fear that day was little old ladies looking for the toilet.

[jmacusa]

They should be afraid. Very afraid.

[PghBaldy]

It’s in the first sentence. I assume the other shooting mentioned is the Gabby Gifford shooting?

[Churchillspirit]

During the State of The Union, one member of the Cabinet is always in a safe secret location.

So....if that is all it takes to ensure continuity of Government, just keep one cabinet member safe at all times.

Problem solved!
