The security services have already demonstrated an inability to protect the legislators. So now they want them disarmed?

What can I say but that any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.

The biggest scam in America is why they are allowed to carry and we can’t.

This is aimed directly at Lauren Boebert, new Rep from CO, who carries openly. Firearms are NOT forbidden, but now the Communists are in control, and the ‘Republicans’ agree with them. May the Lord judge the whole kit and kaboodle.

Wow, almost an admission that Ashli was gunned down by a Congressional lawmaker?

Oh wait, perhaps the deep state has an even MORE deadly false flag planned for next time that leaves Congressional staffers totally defenseless..

BTW, when exactly will the next mass shooting occur in America? You know, the kind that the DemonRats seize upon to fast track their gun grabbing agenda? Hasn't been one in a while under Trump. ISIS and Islamic terrorist attacks in the U.S. are nearly gone too.. Any plans for Biden to bring them back as well? AND HOW EXACTLY DID TRUMP NOT GET RE-ELECTED!!! (Don't answer that.. I know: JOE CHEATED).

That was my first thought.

So the metal detector goes off? So what? Now they know she has one. She wasn’t hiding that info from anyone. The metal detector can’t take away her right to carry.

Open carry is illegal in DC other than in ones home or business. It’s a shall issue district so she could get a CCL. I presume her office is her business, but maybe not. I believe they’re forbidden on the floor, I don’t know about the office building.

This is BS. No congressmen participated in the riot; this is just an effort to smear them.
