Washington (CNN) — US Capitol Police on Wednesday afternoon arrested a West Virginia man who was armed with a handgun and 20 rounds of ammunition outside the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, which is near the US Capitol, a spokesperson from the Metropolitan Police Department said.
He was taken into custody for having a black .9mm Sig Sauer handgun and the ammunition, the report said.
The arrest comes weeks after hundreds of rioters stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the Senate's confirmation of President Joe Biden. Five people, including a police officer were killed. Security was tightened throughout DC after the January 6 insurrection and continued through last week's presidential inauguration.

Being that DC is now run by China, I wouldn’t walk there unarmed either.

Isn’t being a black firearm 50% of an assault weapon?

A week or two ago I think there was a similar story in which a man was found to have a gun and the implication was that the man was a terrorist, when in fact he was an ordinary citizen exercising his Constitutional rights.

He wasn’t walking. The gun was in the console of his car. It wasn’t even on him.

I was there in 2017 with a backpack with several collapsible batons, several pepper spray cans, several knives. Of course i didn't attempt to go thru the lines to the mall.

Without a license? I wasn’t aware the 2nd was repealed.

So a man with a gun in Washington DC justifies 25,000 troops occupying the city. Is that what this story is about?

Amen, Brother. I went to see the Veteran Memorials and then to Arlington to pay my respects back in 2004 or so. Even then we were told not to go to them after dark and there were areas to avoid. Shameful. DC should be a clean, safe place - not another dirtbag filled s-hole city. It broke my heart.
