its time to allow guns in state capitols and the US capitol

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.

in many of the states they control. I don’t think you can come up with a scenario involving carrying loaded guns they would object to.

Just as it’s illegal to carry a firearm on school campuses here as well. The big difference is that the state capitol has its own armed police force to actively enforce the law, schools don’t have that luxury.

Our new concessionaires will gladly rent you the firearm you need for admittance AND sell you whatever ammunition you desire! (The guns must be returned - the ammunition is yours to keep as a souvenir!)

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.

Plenty of Republican House members have brought guns into the Capitol.
