WASHINGTON (KDVR) — Rep. Lauren Boebert was briefly refused entry to the U.S. Capitol Tuesday evening.

Boebert, who has announced her intention to carry a gun on Capitol grounds, set off a metal detector. It wasn’t clear if she had a cellphone or other metal object in her purse.

OTOH, if capital punishment for certain crimes were reinstituted, then there wouldn’t be such a need for restricting gun rights for others.

The problem with any or all of your “ reasonable” restrictions is who gets to decide.

Of course, the med folks, the state,the neighbor down the street will always decide for the control of others.

Hence, the right to life liberty and pursuit of happiness is the operative principle behind all other rights.

Don’t tread on me, and you won’t be tread upon.

What’s the point.

They couldn’t arrest her so it is freedom from metal detectors.

...sniveling little Schitt.

Agreed. He has crazy eyes. One look at him and you know there are some bad things running around inside his head that he's barely keeping a lid on. I literally wouldn't turn my back on him and would not want any of my family members in the same room with him.

On that, we are in agreement. And I bet you and I both work with people who have no business being armed.

You may think that, but if they are non-criminal, citizens you don't get {nor do you deserve} to decide who is armed.

You sound like a liberal with that kind of a statement.

As I said...there would be those who,given their contempt for the 2nd Amendment,would attempt to deny our rights.

But,OTOH,are there any people who you think should be denied access to firearms?

I had a 20+ year career at a world famous,big city,hospital. My first 10 years there were spent in the ER. I could tell you stories that would make the hair on your toes curl. However,in spite of that experience I'm a firm supporter of the 2nd Amendment. And because of that experience I believe that some people should be denied access to firearms.

Just sayin'...

I don’t disagree but I think that is where the problem comes in.
Your question..’Who gets to decide’ is the real problem for society.
We as individuals of society have many varying opinions among
the total. Thus all the rules, regs, etc.

Well, I can just see some idiot (liberal) pulling a gun because he didn't get a big enough tip. It was kind of a half joke.

Thanks for the insult. 8~)

Long ago, felony was defined as a crime where someone deprived the victim of their inherent civial rights. Therefore, the state deprived the perpetrator of theirs. Hence justification of negating someone’s 2A rights.

Misdemeanor was all other crimes.

I just heard on the news that Twatter has suspended Lauren’s account until after the inauguration.

OK, this one I am kind of torn on. If someone commits a crime and does prison time (no parole, no time off, etc) and fulfills their debt to society, I see no reason that their rights should not be fully reinstated. Now, if the crime was so heinous, or the person is so morally bankrupt that they have proven they are still a threat, we need to ask why wasn't capital punishment applied or why is this person being allowed out of prison to begin with?

Exactly. Either they are in prison or not. Once they have done their time, they should have the same rights as any other citizen. If they are a danger to society, then something needs to be done to work on the punishment side of things.

” I believe that some people should be denied access to firearms.”

Should they be denied access to motor vehicles? Gasoline?

Your approach to the problem has resulted in states like California having about 100 pages of gun laws. We have to pass a background check to buy ammunition. Have you read any reports of dramatic declines in crime in California? I haven’t.
