Deputy Minority Leader Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda, said the rules have been clarified to make clear that openly carried guns are among items that are banned as objects of demonstration. Last Thursday, he said, some gun-rights advocates brought loaded firearms into the gallery. One had a chambered round and ejected it onto the gallery floor.
“All the rules of gun safety were violated,” Kretz said. “It's too bad, because I don't think they represented your average gun owners.” |

1. Bad link. Was this what was intended?
http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/jan/20/washington-legislature-bans-guns-in-galleries/
2. This is the first I heard of loaded chambers and fools manipulating actions in the House. And it appears to be quoting an anti-gun legislator. Any factual basis, or just the Spokesman reporting the insane babbling of an anti as established fact? |

This is the outcome of the fear generated by the anti-firearm, gun-control groups.
No one should feel uncomfortable with a law-abiding person firearm. But many do, why is this? Propaganda promotes unfounded fear, a mass brain-washing campaign.
What happened in this situation shouldn't have happened, outcome as such. Law-abiding people who live under unalienable Rights set forth by the 2A should not have to fight for what already is in place. Law-abiding people must not be demonized, made into criminals in wait for simply owning a firearm.
The comfort zone has been attacked. Irresponsibility falls on anti's for creating this fear, fear which leads to violence in a disturbed person. No anti-campaign wants to talk to the facts, do they? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
