Dem lawmaker feels threatened and unsafe because of gun displayed in Rep. Ed [Ken] Buck’s office, reports him to Sergeant-at-Arms

Your congressional office is not your private home. It is a public space.

This behavior is threatening and unacceptable. I feel unsafe with this in my place of work.

I have been in contact with the Sergeant at Arms to express my concerns.

They think Ken Buck is Ed Buck, the creepy gay murderer in CA.

But anyway, I guess we have somebody in Congress named Haley.
Now I really feel old.

Buck has displayed the gun in his office for several years. His spokeswoman told CNN on Friday afternoon that it is inoperable and he received permission from Capitol Police before bringing it to his office.

The gun is locked and has been stripped of parts essential to firing it, according to The Washington Post. In 2015, Buck described it as “a beautiful, patriotic paperweight,” also telling the Post that the “only dangerous thing about that gun is if someone took it off the wall and hit somebody else over the head with it.”

Buck ended his video by saying, “Come and take it.”

Capitol rules have long allowed members of Congress to keep firearms in their offices, although lawmakers are banned from bringing them to the House chamber and several other specified areas. Some Democratic members have sought to change the rules in recent years, arguing guns on the premises represent a security threat, even if they are owned by lawmakers.

I agree, let’s get rid of all guns in the Capitol building. The Capitol Police can carry whistles and flashlights.

That DIMocRAT lawmaker, IF he/she/it feels “threatened & unsafe”, should RESIGN from Congress & go home forever.

I’m going to have to agree with this complaint.

The gun could have loaded itself, jumped out, aimed and fired at anytime. Even if it was a non-functioning display model.

It’s about time people focused on things that really matter.
For the children.
