Hoyer calls for update on review of regulations for carrying firearms in House office buildings
The Hill ^ | 12/14/2021 | MONIQUE BEALS

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) in a letter on Tuesday is calling for an update on a review of policies regarding guns on Capitol grounds.

"The presence of deadly firearms only raises the dangers of a violent incident, an accidental discharge, or some other preventable tragedy," Hoyer writes in the letter. "That is why it is essential that rules and regulations regarding where personal firearms may or may not be carried must be communicated clearly to Members."

The letter was written to Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Karen Gibson, House Sergeant-at-Arms William Walker, Capitol Architect Brett Blanton and Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger.

Sleepy Joe is the one most likely to have an accidental discharge.

This is aimed squarely at Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"Hoyer has previously called for increasing gun-related restrictions, such as with the Bipartisan Background Checks Act,
which the House approved in March.

“Nine out of 10 Americans support the reforms in this bill. That includes a majority of Republicans and a majority of responsible gun owners,” Hoyer said at the time."

These lying Democrats cannot stop. They believe that telling the lie often enough will make it true.

Did he make any mention of the career staffer, who looks like he’s on Hoyer’s side of the political spectrum, that got caught trying to bring a pistol into the building.

He’s definitely a Democrat since they made ZERO mention of his political affiliation when the story broke and it quickly disappeared from the news cycle.

Start with the Capitol Police and that dumba@@ moron scared you know what who KILLED an unarmed female. Outright shot her in the neck and upper torso.

Where he be at, now, Steney? you be likin’ dat kind o’ proteckshun? What a farcical turd Hoyer is.

The people carrying firearms are quite capable of restraining themselves in their use— UNLIKE your buddies on the Capitol Police junior G men.

Tragedy is that this assclown is still able to convince his constituents to keep voting for him and his miscreant pals. Wake up sheeple.

It does for MANY. Think of the ‘MANY’ as the weak-minded fools that Jaba the Hut talks about when Luke Skywalker shows up to rescue Han Solo and the rest.

The ‘MANY’ are the majority that will gladly continue wearing a mask that doesn’t do anything. They’ll continue getting boosters that don’t work. And they’ll continue doing anything and everything that Fauci and Gates tell them to.

To paraphrase a meme I saw yesterday.....The ‘MANY’ are the ones that never read a history book and think that complying with tyrannical orders for the last two years will give them back their freedoms.

It is, in fact what the Bolsheviks did to the Socialist Revolutionary Party

They believed in the same things. Both were motivated by revolution and socialism. Bolsheviks considered themselves Marxists, Both parties were opposed to ‘the counter-revolution’, ‘the bourgeoisie’, ‘the reaction’ and spoke about ‘class struggle’ and the ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’. Each considered themselves to be Socialist and denied each to call themselves Socialist.

The NKVD/KGB and military under control of the minority Bolshies— went to a shooting war with the Socialist Revolutionary Party and executed all their leaders.

So, Steny Hoyer is the Kerensky of the Socialst wannabees in the “center” demonrat Socialists— doing the direty work of the Bernie Sanders/AOC/ Muzzie gang that is the Bolshies— the ones really running things. Disarm our people, just like they want to disarm the People of the United States of America. To control them outright.

Of course they have all sworn to uphold the 2nd Amendment, which reads (in part): “...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, except at the site of the national Capitol building (because we think that the utter hypocrisy of that will really benefit the nation).”

“The Despot’s heel is on our Shore— Maryland My Maryland....”

Oh how Maryland has CREATED most of this Leftist shite the dems keep pouring on the People. Let’s see Jeremy Raskin (the Communist from Silver Sring), Rod Rosenstein (the DOJ former DA in Baltimore and organizer of the COUP fraud process including recusal of the new AG Sessions, and much else among the Tres Amigos, Comey, Rosenstein, and Mueller), the careerists inside the Beltway just inside the border with Maryland who LIVE IN Maryland— this is the internal source of the supposed “political” power over the rest of this Republic.

Oh, and don’t forget Ft. Detrick, MD and the “benign” Fauci built “National Bioweapon Analysis and Countermeasures Center” run by Batelle, Inc under contract with the US ARMY and Fauci’s downline at NIH/ AI division. We give you— covid response enforcement as Bolshevism.

Ain’t gonna work.

“Deadly firearms??”

Just the sight of one can cause people to get the vapors, lose their minds and have a conniption fit.
