When politicians can face impeachment for inciting violence despite asking people to show their support "peacefully," you would think politicians would weigh their words more carefully.

Apparently members of congress can’t carry but can keep guns in their office. See above link.
If Nazi Pelosi and Chuck Tumor let members of Congre$$ carry, how could they support disarming law abiding citizens?
They are more important than us! Now go back to work and pay your taxes peon!
“Reaching across the aisle” will take in a whole new meaning!
I hear and obey
