"Surprisingly, because of Washington, D.C.'s restrictive gun laws, congressmen and senators are not allowed to carry a concealed weapon," he said. "That is why today I introduced the Congressional Self-Defense Act to allow lawmakers to conceal carry so that they are better positioned to defend themselves against lone wolf and terrorist attacks."

Laws for me but not for thee? D.C. has largely been anti-gun. No-one but law enforcement.... if we can get them to bend a little bit by letting other elected, non LEO type government officials carry, D.C. might learn to accept the idea that we have a 2nd amendment. You have to get your foot in the door and this is as good as any chance. |

Same with all the LE carve outs and exemptions tonnage bans and gun bans. |

DC gun laws are unconstitutional.
Congress is right to attack them. They have the power to fix it. Frankly, the legal structure of DC is shaky...constitutionally speaking. As a "not a state", they make their own laws, enforce them at gunpoint, and have said FU to the courts/constitution several times on this issue. |

DC is a subordinate part of the Federal government. It's existence owes to the US Constitution.
Frankly, as the Federal government has never been given any authority to bar people from carrying arms in public, then it only follows that neither has the city of DC. In which case, the laws forbidding the carrying of arms in DC are unconstitutional on their face. |

According to various news sources; Republican Representative Brian Babin of Texas' 36th District has introduced a bill to give members of Congress reciprocity to carry a firearm in the Nation's Capital City.
The bill allows Congress and only Congress to be able to carry in Washington DC. Normal everyday Americans need not apply. Furthermore, the Chief of the Capitol Police will issue a permit to Congress and tax payer fund shall be assigned to fund for their personal training. So just to clarify here. We have a member of Congress submitting a bill that would grant them a special exemption and carve out and on top of that get tax payer funded self defense training. Rep. Babin stated that he was sent to Congress by the voters because they wanted their country back. I wasn't aware that submitting bills that only benefited the political elite was being the voice of the people. Rep. Babin stated to TheHill.com: "The tragic events of last week make it clearer than ever that we need to take steps to enable members of Congress to protect themselves," Babin said in a statement. "With the increase in security threats to members of Congress and our staffs, this is an important and necessary step that we must take." Members of Congress would be able carry firearms in most places under the bill, even areas where guns are typically prohibited. That would include federal parks and buildings, the National Mall, lawmakers’ offices, schools and military bases. So now we have three Republican members of Congress from three pro gun States publicly supporting for a Congressional Carve Out. Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama, Rep. Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, and now Rep. Brian Babin of Texas. All three are Republicans of course. Here's an idea. Instead of submitting bills that grant special exemptions for the few. How about actually doing what you campaign to do and push for real national reciprocity for all Americans. As a member of the law enforcement community I am covered under the Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act. When it was passed, many stated that it would eventually lead to full reciprocity carry rights for all Americans. It has been thirteen years since the passage of LEOSA. That along with all the other special exemptions and carve outs cops get with magazine bans and gun bans. We know that carve outs for the government elites and their agents don't ever help the average American. This is wrong. Rep. Babin is wrong. I personally do not support this and I want National Reciprocity for ALL AMERICANS. Not just the political elite. |

and maybe if Congress can engage in insider trading we can all get in on the deal. and then they'll give us a pass like they gave themselves. “Sounds naive respecting someone who doesn't give a shit about you.”
