Congress is considering new legislation that would permit lawmakers to carry a concealed firearm wherever they perform official duties across the United States, according to a copy of the new bill that marks an unprecedented effort to help lawmakers confront a growing threat to their safety.

They are no BETTER than me.CCW should be national.
“No anti 2nd Amendment Democrat better carry one.!!!!!!”
Dianne Fineswine does! “Not for Thee, Only for Me!”
Perhaps not — after securing the ability to carry/use weapons for the elite, the next step could very well be to deny the right to the average man.
(This has, in fact, been the modus operandi of an elite caste upon a lower caste. I seem to recall the Huguenots rioting over an attempt to disarm them.)
null and void:
One set of laws for me, another for thee...
That's the way things have been going pretty much my entire political lifetime, and it was pretty well illustrated to be fact when Comey made the recommendation not to prosecute Clinton after laying out exactly how she violated the law. (Video)
Also interesting, and disturbing, are the allegations of the satanic/demonic ties (eg spirit cooking) and pedophilia rings (eg Epstein). -- In fact, if the former is credible then the latter becomes orders-of-magnitude more possible and probable.
RepRivFarm:
This pisses me off more than anything else the Republicans could have done.
If the bill is not modified so that it applies to everyone, I will actively work to defeat ANY Republican elitist that votes for it.
I am SO SICK of our elected scumbags upholding rights for only themselves. Asswipes....all of them.
I understand and agree with you here — and apparently a lot of people agree with us. What is unclear is how aware they are of our growing anger and resolve: they could easily thing that because the American people have never risen up against the government to the point of hanging politicians they never will. (As the Declaration says: accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Paine in the Neck:
In effect, granting themselves titles of nobility.
Yes — It's amazing how few people realize that's exactly what is going on, and has been going on [incrementally] in the past few decades.
Why should they have special privileges that the rest of us do not?
To Hell with that.
Us first.
NO and HELL NO
Make it for every one not for the elites.
Screw that. Everyone has that right, and it is about time that it is acknowledged.
Pass that law and your problem is solved, congress.
Any law or regulation that establishes or protects a special class of citizens is problematic.
Yup...If they do it, so will I.
Congress is exempt from those pesky executive branch regulations that harass the proletariat. Separation of powers doncha' know.
Congress exempted itself from Obamacare. It was said that staffers couldn't afford the premiums.
Licensed CCW holders in one state have been prosecuted in other states.
Congress looks out for itself, not the proletariat.
Make it only for Republican Congress critters. They’re the only ones being shot.
We don’t want the proliferation of guns to get out of hand!
How’s about American people
Just pass Constitutional Carry as a National law. Problem solved.
My hope was that once they got the universal right to carry that someone would sue for that same right for the rest of us and 5 of the 9 would agree.
While there is room to argue, 'safety, blah blah blah BS', show me in the text of the 2nd Amd., this term 'law abiding citizens'. I'll wait. Oh, this feckless treasonous seditious con-gress can pretty well KMA! Oh, further more, I guarantdamntee you, that same feckless treasonous seditious con-gress, is the most removed from that 'law abiding citizen' category than anyone walking this planet, should you find reference to it.
Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen — remember how they decided that a fine could magically become a tax? and how imaginary numbers justified the taking of someone's property? or how they reiterated that exigent circumstances
are perfectly reasonable to use to ignore the 4th Amendment? or how indefinite detention is a-ok? — not with this sort of track record in recent years.
Not in New Jersey!
Doane Feinstain does and therefore proves gun control is a socialist control issue!
By golly they really can move fast on something...
when they consider it is in THEIR BEST Interest.
Try the eighteenth word.
