More than 80 members of the House of Representatives are taking a stand against a Democrat plan to end lawmakers’ eligibility to carry firearms on the grounds of Capitol Hill under current regulations.
The effort is being lead by Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) who says she refuses to give up her ability to carry a firearm while spending time in the crime ridden District of Columbia.
“I refuse to give up my Second Amendment rights,” Boebert said in a statement, adding:
“I’m a 5-foot tall, 100-pound mom with four children and will be walking to work and serving in one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. I choose to defend my family and my life with all of the force the Constitution provides. I will not let a bunch of gun-grabbing House Democrats take away my Constitutional right to protect myself.”
The Colorado representative’s call for allowing the continuation to pack heat has been joined by 82 other members including Louie Gohmert, Matt Gaetz, and Dan Crenshaw.

How nice that our betters don’t have to follow the same rules that the rest of the plebes in DC have to follow.

I wonder if any of the protesters will be packing January 6th? Easier to carry than a guillotine, which is what is really needed .

Definitely NOT a good idea in DC...especially if engaged in a ‘non approved’ demonstration etc...
Unless things have drastically changed, LOCAL LEO aren’t even allowed to carry in DC (am sure lifted if say an Arlington PD was on official business in DC).
Rope works and they can’t jail you for possessing it.
Plenty of lampposts in DC.
83 out of 435.

‘We’ aren’t supposed to notice that— much less publicize it...<: <: <:
83 armed people versus 300 or so unarmed is a majority.
Surprised Crenshaw signed on. After all, he’s all for Red Flag laws.
Where the hell was the rest of the pubs!
That’s our rinos, way to go. Aholes
All of the remaining Republicans should sign on with her, too.
I wonder what the founding fathers would say.
Exactly
I hope those same 83 vote pro 2a.
Cool. Sounds like it may be the match that lights the fuse. Dear Lady, just think mid mass with double tap. Be aware of everyone!
good looking family. Those kids will grow up to be fine men.
Stop. So sick of bashing good people. It never ends. If I were in congress I’d hate to be loved by FREEPERS. They’ll destroy you with one difference of opinion. Not shocked many conservatives don’t run for Congress. Why put up with your bull crap?
