She should be forced to carry a firearm - everywhere. Let the gravity of the real world sink in.
She should also have her security detail pulled. No "rules for thee but not for me."

Jeannine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, on Monday threatened jail time for anyone who enters the capital with a gun.
In remarks on Fox News that could deepen a growing rift between gun owners and the Trump administration, Ms. Pirro declared that if anyone brings “a gun into the District, you mark my words, you’re going to jail. I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else.”
Her remarks prompted swift pushback from the Republican Party’s pro-Second Amendment wing, which was thrown into a cycle of confusion and frustration over comments from President Trump and some in his administration after Alex Pretti, a licensed gun owner, was shot by federal immigration agents last month during a protest in Minneapolis.
The shooting has fueled debate among conservatives over the administration’s vacillating posture toward lawful gun ownership. After the shooting, Mr. Trump and some senior administration officials sought to blame Mr. Pretti for carrying a concealed firearm during the protest.
“I don’t like that he had a gun, I don’t like that he had two fully loaded magazines, that’s a lot of bad stuff,” Mr. Trump said last week in Iowa.
Ms. Pirro’s remarks caught the attention of several Republican lawmakers, including Representative Greg Steube of Florida, a U.S. Army veteran, who said on social media that he travels into Washington from his home district every week with a firearm. “I have a license in Florida and DC to carry. And I will continue to carry to protect myself and others,” Mr. Steube wrote. “Come and Take it!”

“””Let me introduce you the the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution. Are you even from the United States?””
So I can go get a machine gun? I don’t have to fill out the yellow sheets when I buy a gun? All I have to do is show them the Second Amendment and they will let me skip all that? Groovy.
And then they will ask "how could this happen?"
That’s not good. “Lawful gun owners are ... lawful.”
I’ve become a big fan since my oldest moved to Silver Spring 15 years ago.
Unlike Miami (and a lot of other cities,) it’s well-designed with beautiful avenues and roadways and tons of scenic parks. Just 4 blocks from my kids’ home is Sligo Creek Park, which my wife and I love to walk. There are scenic walks like that throughout the metro area and an absence of billboards and other urban clutter.
Additionally, I’d give the city the nod over even New York in terms of the diversity of restaurant cuisines, and it’s much more affordable.
Years ago, when I was in college, I’d visit a friend of mine who went to American U. Back then it was a cesspool.
That is the law there. Obey it. And, I am a more radical gun guy than you are. You just don’t know me. Obey the law, or do NOT ever go there. And, work to get the law changed. I actually would like to find a way to retroactively severely punish leaders who have taken anti-gun stances. Wasn’t thinking that way until Molly Ringwold made me think of it with her rhetoric.
"Just following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg and it won't work here. Requiring a license changes an inalienable right into a privilege.
Jeanine Pirro needs to go back and study the Constitution. Cut off her government paychecks until she submits a handwritten copy of the Bill of Rights, preferably in cursive, especially the Second Amendment.
Stop with the lies, what she said was
“I don’t care if you have a license in another district and I don’t care if you’re a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else.”
She is being clear, those who are not legal in the district will be held accountable.
I hate it but that is the law. Stop misrepresenting what she said
Really? Which states might those be?
Doh!
“Dont believe anything nyt”
Thanks for the tip. Can I believe my lying eyes? About 2:17 in this video:

Even worse, she sounds completely uninformed
Now there are lawful gunowners the New York Slimes says? How interesting, because New Yorr sure limits that lawful ownership as much as it can, and the New York Slimes cheerleads this unlawful conduct of cancelling the 2nd Amendment to people who have no record of ever committing a crime.
Gun grabbers are a dime a dozen. Pirro makes it a baker's dozen.
"Just following orders". I've heard that line somewhere before...
Three dumps I will never visit again. Add NYC, LA, and Minneapolis. (I’ve been to all except Minneapolis).
However, the overall issue should matter to all 2nd Amendment supporters.
“So I can go get a machine gun?”
What an uninformed statement. Of course you can buy a machine gun. I have not, but have friends who have. It’s burdensome, but it’s perfectly legal. You know there are websites that specialize is selling transferrable automatic weapons?
“I don’t have to fill out the yellow sheets when I buy a gun? All I have to do is show them the Second Amendment and they will let me skip all that? Groovy.”
You’re argument is that infringements justify further infringements? Groovy.
If I have a permit from my state it is invalid in numerous states. So...it is illegal for me to carry there.
“ think something is developing and they’re trying to head it off”
Leftist “influencers”, along with some anqeefa larpers have been calling for their useful idiots to take up arms against “MAGA”.
