Why is it that one of the safest places in one of our deadliest cities is around the Capitol and other government buildings? Given the target rich environment, one would think we'd be treated to an NBC video of some wack job on a weekly basis.
Politicians have assured their safety, not only with their own police force, but politicians in Washington can conceal carry, not D.C. citizens of course, but the special people on Capitol Hill. Next time you see your Senator or Congressman, ask him why it is that they can protect their life, but teachers and principals and college students over 21 can't protect their lives, and the lives of their students and friends? Why is it that they need concealed carry weapons when their own police force is much closer than the local police department which would respond to a school hostage situation?
Is there any angrier place in our country than on the steps of the Capitol. Just listen to a group of Democrat politicians denouncing Bush as Hitler, or a gaggle of N.O.W. hairy lipped feminists screaming about their right to abort babies. Mercy. We don't need angry politicians walking around packing heat. Let's denude them as they've denuded our children. Until politicians allow school children to be protected, let's revoke all concealed carry privleges for politicians In fact, let's use their argument. Make Washington D.C., the capitol and all congressional buildings included, a 'gun-free' zone. After all, isn't that what we are told makes our schools as safe as they can be. Then maybe we can get NBC to publish the names of the politicians and their office numbers when they make the announcement that "Politicians in D.C. unarmed!!".
