GOP's Gohmert plans to introduce bill to allow firearms on House floor
By Josiah Ryan - 01/12/11 05:17 PM ET

A spokesperson for Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told The Hill on Wednesday afternoon that the congressman plans to introduce legislation that will allow members of Congress to carry weapons both in the District of Columbia and on the House floor.

“There is a rash of legislation further infringing on Second Amendment rights that has been unwisely proffered in the wake of events in Tucson,” Gohmert told The Hill in a statement regarding the proposed legislation. “If members of Congress wishes to carry a weapon in the federal District of Columbia, it should be permissible. Accordingly, we are in the process of drafting a bill that will allow members of Congress to do that.”

1. Honestly, even the most staunch second amendment proponents...

Would you want to be confined all day with some of the RETHUG "intelligentsia" that inhabits the House, and their guns, trusting on them not to have a stupid, thoughtless "accident"?

What about some of those frothing teabaggers, that managed to get elected?

2. there's a good reason the word 'nut' so often follows the word 'gun'

:eyes:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

15. And the word "Gohmert."

3. Michelle Bachmann. Armed.

What could go wrong?

[pinboy3niner]

6. OMG!

"Armed and dangerous," in her own words.

And she thinks a lot of dems in Congress are "un-American." Yeah, what could go wrong? :scared:

8. Da Orange Boner...drunk AND packin heat!?

4. Loony Louie makes Bachmann seem almost rational.

5. Aaaaw..he just wants his country back

in an updated form, of course...

Maybe he got a lovely "You Lie!" gun from Santa.

7. But no guns in the gallery? This is elitist.

Members of congress should have rights that ordinary citizens do not. And members of congress should have access to health care that ordinary citizens do not. Oh, wait ...

14. Maybe enclosing the gallery in plexiglass would be a good idea if this passes.

At least the public would be safe if anything broke out on the floor.

9. Palin probably always carries a gun in her purse.

Should she stumble upon a bear, she's prepared to defend herself.

10. C-SPAN will go PPV when that happens.

[LeftinOH]

11. They want to turn this country into a third-world thugocracy; shoot or be shot. n/t

[LiberalAndProud]

12. If they keep pushing the same buttons, will they eventually wear out?

I am so tired of the endless grandstanding and theater. That can be the only point of this proposed legislation, to push the hot buttons for no good purpose. Can we please just throw the bums out? Please?

13. Just when you think that reality can't become any more perverse,

a politician (R of course) says something so inane that you have to read it twice to believe your eyes.

These ***holes are demeaning the lives of the AZ victims and the media is allowing them to do it.

16. why not bring back dueling pistols

sI would think anyone trying to get into the building is probably searched and screened for weapons, bombs and everything else. If it's necessary to get on a plane you think it would be for getting into the capitol building. So who do they need to shoot? Each other? If that's the case do it style with pistols at dawn like the old days::sarcasm::

17. allow them? what a wimp!

they should be mandatory! :patriot:
