no metal detector. no searches. ayone should be allowed to carry a fully loaded ar-15 into the capitol building. after all "shall not be infringed"
Or else enact REAL gun control laws. full background checks. no open carry. 21 to buy a gun. mandatory liability insurance before buying a gun or ammo. limits on magazine size.

I think one can still conceal carry as long as they have a CWP.

(4,664 posts)Now it's accepted in the mega-churches. One in Tulsa bragged they took 3 bus loads of "patriots" to the insurrection.
Since the OKC bombing they have branched out, the basements are armories and children are being trained by returning military. The church that housed/trained and financed McVeigh is STILL there joined by dozens of other "church" compounds along the OK/AR/MO border.
