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.

“Five people, including a police officer were killed.”

Yet another CNN lie.

There was only ONE person KILLED, and that was Ashli Babbit.

Say her name.

4 other people tragically died with causes RELATED to the events of the protest, but they were absolutely not “killed”.

Except for Ashli Babbit. She was absolutely killed. Some may say assassinated.

"20 rounds of ammunition"

I've never owned a gun, but wouldn't most boxes of ammunition contain at least twenty rounds? So if you buy a single box of bullets and keep them with your gun, they are trying to make you sound like a potential mass murderer.

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

_____________________________________________

Yes. And also know that a military coup d’état in the capital is always a favorite tactic of left wing Banana Republic types who want to overthrow a legitimate president.

See tagline.

Two ten round magazines probably. One in the weapon and one for reload.

Is it illegal to have such personal protection in Washington, DC, now?

You can get a license to carry in DC. It's not easy to get but it's possible.

If you don't have the license and are found in possession of a handgun, you're up s**t creek without a paddle.

Don’t visit my house if 20 rounds scare you. Because I have a 3 yr old granddaughter, I own a gun Safe bolted down. My youngest was not even a teen yet when I started CCW.

As a child if we even looked at dad’s hunting rifle we’d get butt hurt.

How many rounds did that kid in Broward spray into helpless kids, while the ‘security’ guard hid?

Just curious, who can? DC residents only or anyone?
