You can't being weapons into a court room, and you can't bring weapons onto the Chamber Floor. That's a no brainer.

Why? It's a violation of your enumerated right to self defense.

People showing up to court ... do so voluntarily ... or they're already in custody. Get me?

You give 'em an inch, and the next thing you get is Wyatt Earp banning guns in your whole town.

Lawmakers are legally allowed to carry weapons throughout the halls of the Capitol, but they aren't legally allowed to carry weapons onto the Chamber Floor.

You had several lawmakers trying to bypass the metal detectors in order to bring weapons onto the Chamber floor, and whining when they were caught.

You can't being weapons into a court room, and you can't bring weapons onto the Chamber Floor. That's a no brainer.


Then there is the rule about no head coverings that Ilhan ignored. Legal is in the minds of the our brave Legislators hiding under desks during a non-event.

Nope. I don't "get you". It's illegal to bring a weapon into a court room, whether you're an attorney, a defendant, a plaintiff, a witness, a jury member, or a spectator.

Ooooh! Dangerous religious head coverings! Good point! Don't forget, Tammy Duckworth brought her infant baby girl onto the Chamber floor too! That was against the rules too! Oh! The humanity!

Many states in the US have exceptions to that rule.

Somehow an ar15 is the symbol of evil itself when these fools have no idea what my semi auto 12ga shotgun with 00 buckshot can do.


I've thought about that for a while now, because it's utterly ridiculous. My theory is it's to try and demonize the rifles used by the us military and what was always portrayed as the 'good guy' gun in action movies and stuff.

Think about it, every 80's and 90's action movie, bad guys used ak47s, good guys used m16's. They used to be the hero gun. Now they've been turned into the domestic terrorist gun.

Has Nancy ever met California Senator Dianne Feinstein, also from San Francisco, who regularly carried concealed illegally in her younger days?

I am pretty sure they have met... but I doubt that either one remembers it.

The point was that the rules are arbitrary. Perhaps Nancy is feeling so guilty that she is afraid but I doubt that it is more than her usual clown act.
What will happen when a Sikh is elected to Congress? Gotta have a dagger and a head covering for religious reasons. Justification under one amendment shouldn't preclude justification under another.

-chuckle

I'm their huckleberry. I 'think' I am within the law to carry there legally. I might be breaking their rules and therefore subject to being held in contempt. Could be a far worse fate. They wouldn't 'have' to let me go until I cried, "Uncle."

ETA: That's the same BS they pull when you carry inside a courtroom, BTW. You're not breaking the law, but you're in contempt. At least, that's the way it was 'shplained' to me decades ago.

Nancy should tell her security detail to give up their guns and lead by example.

Or is she some kind of hypocrite?

Am leaning towards the latter.

At least Pence's security detail isn't around shooting people in the neck anymore. I wonder what instructions the new VP handed down. I also wonder if Pence's guy was relieved for not sending a double-tap nor scoring the brainpan on his ambush single.

Bet his name is more closely held than Lon Horiuchi's ever was.

It's not an "arbitrary rule". It a Federal Law. It's a felony. www.law.cornell.edu...

Where's your source that Ilhan Omar carries a dagger, for religious reasons or otherwise, within the Capitol building or otherwise? Or did you just pull that out of your arse?

Sookie, as expected your reading comprehension hasn't improved.

1.)Federal Laws are made by the people in the organization we are talking about and can be unmade or changed at their whim.
2.) Ilhan is not a Sikh. That was an example of a religious custom of the Sikhs, much like the head coverings for human females who practice the "religion of peace." They are second class chattels who must cover themselves because of a complete lack of self-control of their male masters. Likely, Joe the hair sniffer falls into that category, too.

It should be noted that the head covering is not a requirement in the US and that is merely an Ilhan affectation.

Whatever...it's not an arbitrary rule, as you said, it's a federal law. It's a felony to bring weapons onto the Chamber floor.

This particular law was first enacted by Congress, both houses, in 1932, and signed into law by President Herbert Hoover.

Capitol Police are investigating an incident in which a Republican lawmaker was blocked from entering the House chamber after setting off a metal detector while apparently carrying a concealed gun.

Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., set off the metal detector while trying to enter the chamber Thursday afternoon. The metal detectors were installed after the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, which left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer. The incident was witnessed by a reporter from the HuffPost website.

After setting off the machine, Harris was asked to step aside for further screening. At that time, an officer discovered Harris was carrying a concealed gun on his side, according to the reporter.

The officer sent Harris away, at which point Harris tried to get Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., to take the gun from him. Katko refused, telling Harris he didn't have a license to carry a gun. Harris eventually left and returned less than 10 minutes later. He once again went through security and did not set off the magnetometer. He was then allowed to enter the House floor.


Md First District is about as conservative as it gets. this will not lose him any support.

A bull barrel Colt Python will do the trick.


So will a 1911 1a .45 automatic.

I don't get you - what planet do you live on? I've seen plenty of guns in courtrooms. Didja ever notice those guards escorting prisoners in and out of court? What was that thing in the holster tied around their waist? Doh! That there is a gun in a courtroom. It's there for protection. End of story.

Nancy Pelosi shouldn't worry about guns...
A security guard or a Marine could twist her head off in a split second.
