We'll see if the aide plays the role of fall guy to the hilt, or if he sells out his weasel boss.

Virginia Sen. Jim Webb said Tuesday he did not give aide Phillip Thompson the gun that led to his arrest in a Senate office building. Webb did not say whether it was his gun.Guess it depends on the definition of the word "give". How Clintonian of him.

He is charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possession of an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition. All this restrictions are unconstitutional in any case.
He did nothing wrong.

If this jacka$$ were a republican, he'd have apologized 100 times and resigned from office by now.

"Virginia Sen. Jim Webb said Tuesday he did not give aide Phillip Thompson the gun that led to his arrest..." Typical blood of a Democrat - cut-n-run on your buddies!

Five paragraphs before they gave the party affiliation of the senator and his aide. I knew by the end of the first sentence that it must be a democrat.

Gun laws such as this are unconstitutional. It is alright for legislators to carry one but commoners can't.Our founding fathers would be highly pissed off.

Gosh, if the handgun is registered, see who the legal owner is. Then, see if the Senator is going to claim that the weapon was stolen. I gotta say, I feel pretty bad for that aide right about now. His backside is really hanging out in the wind.

No doubt Webb or one of his little friends READS FREEREPUBLIC.
He'd rather throw a lifelong Marine buddy to the wolves than accept any level of responsibility for what is all too clearly a failed attempt to bring guns and ammo into the Congress to dispose of political enemies.
We'll see Webb ratted out in return in just a few days, kind of like the way that Nichols guy turned on McVeigh.

[A senior Democratic aide said Monday evening that Thompson forgot that he had the weapon when he sent the senator's bag through the X-ray machine at the office building. The aide said Webb gave the bag that contained the gun to Thompson when the aide drove the senator to the airport.]
To: Sub-Driver
Regardless of party this very well could be an honest mistake. If anything this is a Second Ammendment issue and the focus should be on the infringment of it. Putting the guy in jail for a night is pretty severe.

Webb did not say whether it was his gun. Let the BATFE pull the 4473 and we'll know who it belongs to.
If it turns out to belong to Webb, will he claim it was stolen?
To: Sub-Driver
The evil gun jumped into the bag by itself.
Everyone knows guns aren't allowed in DC, no matter what those crazy, far right-wing, extremist judges say. /sarcasm

Virginia Sen. Jim Webb said Tuesday he did not give aide Phillip Thompson the gun that led to his arrest in a Senate office building. Webb did not say whether it was his gun. I suppose we're going to hear next that it depends upon what our meaning of the word "gun" is.

Gun laws such as this are unconstitutional And were declared so by the D.C. Appellate court just a couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunately, I believe that the laws are still in place until the Great and Wondrous Federal City decides if it wants to appeal (they almost certainly will).

You: "All this restrictions are unconstitutional in any case. He did nothing wrong."
All?
So, the 2nd Amendment means that we cannot stop people from carrying concealed weapons even into the US Capitol building?
How about the White House? How about speeches where the President is speaking? Can the Secret Service screen for concealed weapons THEN?
Even if the DC Circuit is right and the 2nd Amendment is a personal right to have concealed handguns, surely that cannot go so far as to be able to carry them concealed into the White House or Congress or the gallery of the Supreme Court. We all KNOW what will happen if you let anybody who wants to walk into the heart of the Federal government with a hidden gun.

This whole story is falling apart. I understand there is no need to comment, but a whole lot of troubling questions are floating to the surface? It is a major act to put a top Senators aid in the pokey even just for a night.
Guns in the Capitol is a major concern.
Whose gun?
Any other guns or weapons, knives or whatever?
Any note?
Anyone else involved?
Who is telling the truth about the gun(s), the Senator or the aid??
