Congressman To Push Bill That Lets Lawmakers Carry Guns

New York Post – by Marisa Schultz

WASHINGTON — A Republican congressman who survived the horrific baseball shooting will offer legislation this week to allow lawmakers to carry guns throughout the nation’s capital.

“I’m going to be introducing legislation this week … to allow congressmen to carry a sidearm, should they so desire,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

Members of Congress are “high-profile targets, but we have absolutely no way to defend ourselves because of Washington, DC’s rather restrictive gun laws.”

Brooks said the legislation would allow members of Congress to be armed in places throughout Washington where average citizens typically cannot carry guns.

“I want congressmen to be treated as if they were law enforcement,” Brooks said, “given that we are high-profile targets for the bad guys, the lone wolves, the terrorists.”

When liberal-activist gunman James Hodgkinson opened fire Wednesday on a group of GOP lawmakers practicing for a baseball game, the attack would have been far more devastating if it weren’t for the two armed Capitol Police officers assigned to protect Rep. Steve Scalise, the House majority whip, according to witnesses.

Brooks said the gunman had a list of GOP targets in his pocket, including Brooks himself, and he’s concerned that other deranged people may come after him.

“I’m very much concerned by that,” Brooks said of being targeted. “…You’ve got a situation where, yes, this one shooter has been killed, but he’s a member of an organization that applauded what transpired on Wednesday. Those of us who are on this assassination list, it behooves us to be a little bit more wary than we otherwise might be.”

  1. Well, isn’t that just dandy? What about the rest of the folks in the district of criminals, the corporate capital.

    1. well, they believe that they are the only ones that should be armed but in no way do they want the Goyim Cattle armed, you know what I mean oy.

  2. Told you this would happen. Either they would have bodyguards or armed police or they would be armed in some way. ‘

    Man, they are so predictable.

    These bastards get guns but we can’t.

    So let me get this straight. If someone shoots them, they need to pass a bill to get them ARMED. But if someone shoots us, they need to pass a bill to get us and others DISARMED.

    The hypocrisy is unfrigginbelievable…….

    What a bunch of hypocritical sons of bitches.

  5. “I want congressmen to be treated as if they were law enforcement,” 

    Couldn’t agree more. They’re creating scenarios to justify circling their wagons and appear defensive or reactionary, as opposed to defending themselves from an angry, fed up righteous mob of 330,000,000 Americans.

    They’re gonna need a bigger boat.

  6. This is hilarious….
    They need permission on a piece of paper.
    That some asswhole priest class lawyer gives them permission to protect themselves.
    Well…
    I don’t need a fkng paper and permission to conceal.
    Like carrying a knife.
    You’ll know I’m concealing…
    When I shoot you either in the azz , balls..or face.
    I don’t need your paper permission.
    Just like career criminal felons.

    Do local gangsters have paperwork….?
    How about Al Capone. ..?
    I’m sure all of his gang members had legal paperwork.

    Hell…
    I can kill someone with a coffee cup…
    Car..,
    Nail gun…
    Hammer…
    Pencil or pen.
    Toilet seat.
    Metal spoon …fork.
    Chopsticks. …
    Tooth brush…
    Phone…
    Screwdrivers. ..
    Can opener… and best of all….

    2 days of stinky dog poo I picked up today.
