Federal authorities and a congressman said Wednesday they were continuing to investigate whether a Department of Homeland Security employee with a top-secret clearance was planning to attack at the agency’s Washington headquarters when he entered the building with a gun and other weapons.

Jonathan Wienke, a 45-year-old analyst in the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, so far only faces a handgun charge and is not in custody, pending further court proceedings. He is accused of carrying a gun, a knife, an infrared camera, pepper spray and handcuffs into headquarters on the morning of June 9. According to court documents filed by the federal government, investigators have probable cause to believe Wienke “was conspiring with another to commit workplace violence, and more particularly may have been conspiring or planning to commit violence against senior DHS officials in the building.”

Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the House committee on homeland security, said his committee would look into the matter.

This is why I believe any gun control law passed must affect everyone, citizens and government alike. I don't want cops, or anyone on American soil allowed to own weapons the general population is prohibited from owning. Its a slippery slope if the government passes laws but exemps themselves from them.

Laws that target only citizens assume at there core that only citizens are prone to violence....when it is often the opposite that is true. Power corrupts absolutely.


Remember Kent State?
Well cops aren't armed in England and England enjoys a low rate of violent crime!
