A 7- or 8-year-old boy found a loaded gun in House Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) Capitol suite bathroom a little more than a month ago, Roll Call reported on Friday.
The gun, which Roll Call only referred to as a Glock, was reportedly left there on March 24 by a dignitary protection officer.
The incident, however, was not isolated, according to Roll Call. The publication reported that Capitol police have a tendency to leave their guns in the building's restrooms.
On Jan. 29, according to Roll Call, one of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) security guards left a Glock and its magazine jammed into a toilet seat cover holder in a restroom stall at the Capitol's visitor center, where it was found by an employee.

And exceptions in the law, so that it doesn't apply to individuals such as dignitary protection officers, capitol police, and senate security guards.

(19,497 posts)Even if we restrict gun ownership solely to law enforcement there will still be plenty of guns for the civilian population so long as we institute a "finders-keepers, losers-weepers" policy.
