Thomas Massie: ‘Several of Us’ Were Glad to Be Armed While Barricaded

The day after riots brought the U.S. Capitol to a standstill, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) noted that “several” representatives were happy to be armed while barricaded in their offices.

Following the riotous events, Massie tweeted, “The next member who argues Congressmen shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at work needs to be laughed out of the Capitol.”

He added, “Several of us were glad to be armed while barricaded for hours in our offices with our staff.”

Massie co-chairs the House Second Amendment Caucus along with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).

On January 3, 2021 — just three days before the Capitol riots — Boebert tweeted about the caucus’s fight to preserve House members’ ability to be armed for self-defense:

On December 23, 2020, Boebert told Breitbart News she would “carry a firearm each day in D.C.”

She said, “I’ve already gone through the concealed carry firearm courses to obtain a Washington, DC, permit,” explaining that she, as a representative, will not be driven from her residence to the Capitol “in an armored vehicle.” Rather, her safety will be in her own hands.

Uh, I seem to recall that members were prohibited from carrying into the actual chambers. What's up with that. As far as special privileges for carrying, we can ALL carry or we can all NOT carry. Wherever. But, that won't be a problem for long once margabby kellygiffords starts his BS. Where to first? CCW data bases? Online ammo purchases? Centralized 4473 data base revealed?

Uh, Massie is on our side. He doesn’t want special privileges for members of Congress.

Bet most of their dem pals were happy to have people with guns nearby, maybe even wishing they hadn’t tried to ban “assault weapons.”

Sounds like the Washington po-po need to have a talk with Mr Massey. Obviously, laws don't mean a thing to him.

Ya never know.

No Massie is NOT on our side. He is only on Massie’s side. This worthless never Trumper media whore cut and ran on me (I’m a resident of his district) when he totally acquiesced to my disenfranchisement in the presidential election. Check his record, he worked with democrats to stop Trump’s using military funds to build the wall. He voted with dems to cut funding for Trump’s incredibly successful victory and withdrawal from the Middle East. He often talks a good game but gets zero done. When he’s in a position to actually help the nation by supporting Trump, he takes a powder. This POS is no better than Ryan or McConnell.

Why not go out and chat with the protesters? The congresscritter who would have done that would be a hero.

****crickets***

Again, FReepers are so easily triggered to “cancel” people. Without even knowing who they are and what they’ve done.

FR has been a breeding ground for cancel culture. Which is not good.
