Well, if you canā€™t even remember if your carrying you gun or not, how on Earth are you ever going to spring into action and prevent the evil-doers from doing evil?

I wonder if heā€™ll get his weapon back. I bet yes.

I am just fine with people taking weapons into Congress. Why should they be any safer than the rest of us?

The National Pork Association lobbyist in Congress? And heā€™s arrested for trying to carry in a gun? ROFLMAO! So much material, so little time!

Is there any doubt?

Maybe, but it seems from that incident last week this is considered a real no-no felony in D.C. If all they do is keep the gun heā€™s lucky, thatā€™d be like a $600 fine.

Maybe they get real casual about carrying pistols in those guns-anywhere states, but for Godā€™s sake, every public building in D.C. has very tight security, itā€™s like one big airport, screenings and checkpoints everywhere. You canā€™t be unaware of it.

ETA if the gun was loaded, heā€™s looking at a felony. Up to five years and/or $5,000.

Of course, he will, heā€™s a Republican!!! Itā€™s OKAY if you are a Republican!

If every lobbyist carried a gun in the Capitol, why then them gumment congressmans would have to vote the way our Job Creators want, because MURKA!

Yup, pork, guns, lobbyists, Congress. All very good material for jokes for the next few months on late night TV.

I well-deserved sentence, and probably heā€™ll lose his license the practice veterinary medicine, too. Heā€™s a DVM, doctor of veterinary medicine, was he going there with his gun to perform ā€œmercy killingsā€ on some of the pigs in Congress?

Why wouldnā€™t ā€˜guns everywhereā€™ apply to US Capital Building?

They are just hoping he was a lawyer as well . . .

Dr. Gonzo and I disagreed on many things, but he was always spot-on with his observations regarding our Walmart culture.

He is missed.

Well, you know it was loaded, who in their ā€œrightā€ mind would carry a weapon that wasnā€™t fully loaded?

If he was black they probably would have shot first, handcuffed second.

I assume ā€œpork lobbyistā€ is, in fact, a completely redundant term?

Because, um, well, maybe because some people who pass laws want to be safe and canā€™t have a gun on them in Congress?

Just a guess.
