DC Police investigating Republican Congressmen for possessing AR15 on Capitol Hill!

[SteyrAUG]

It's beyond f'n disgraceful that in our nation's Capital, on Capitol Hill itself, a U.S. Representative's symbol of our god-given Right to Keep and Bear Arms, for which so many Americans have sacrificed immensely, is a a non-functional rifle (no BCG) -- WITH a trigger lock -- AND the U.S. Representative may very well be prosecuted for possessing said firearm. 1776 can't come any sooner.

Actually this is the part that pisses me off.

"But members of Congress are exempted from rules that otherwise prohibit people from having assault weapons, including AR-15s, Capitol Police said.

The District’s gun laws “specifically provide that members of Congress may maintain firearms within the confines of their office and they and any employee or agent of any member of Congress may transport within the Capitol Grounds firearms unloaded and securely wrapped,” Capitol Police spokeswoman Kimberly Schneider told The Hill."

Removing a BCG, having a trigger lock and unloaded do NOT make it inoperable. The receiver ALONE constitutes a firearm and in this case one that would get a "ordinary citizen" arrested.

I know this guy has an (R) after his name, I understand he is pro second amendment and I get he's a special target since he's involved with the Benghazi and all of that, but special rules for special people is bullshit.

It is NOT a paperweight, it is NOT a wall display, it is a functional firearm by ATF definitions. If he's so second amendment he shouldn't take advantage of privilege to enjoy rights that are not afforded to others.

If you look at all the special privelages that members of Congress enjoy, and the rules they don't have to follow, it's not even something that pisses me off as a Citizen... it's just... amazing... incredible... dumbfounding.

Kind of like, if you were leading a group of people, your own conscience wouldn't allow you to go buckwild and make crazy rules for yourself... but the disconnect between DC and the constituency sort of allows for it...

Keep voting, it'll make a difference.

Capitol Police say it's legal:

And slander is entirely lawful and protected no matter how absurd the falsehood if your speaking from the senate floor. Reid wins the day on that one.

I was wondering why all those question marks fell off his suit...

That is Trey Gowdy. While he is a goofy looking bastard in this photo; he is a tireless, well spoken bulldog that goes after Hilary at every chance. That makes him OK in my book.

Well that is good. But when one is in public service they should have a sense of dress. Not knocking the man's politics just kind of hard to take someone serious when they don't dress the part.

Is he attempting a middle age "faux hawk"?

He looks like a graying version of the Penguin on the series Gotham. He is really pushing Hillary hard on Benghazi and doing a great job.
