Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) said Thursday on “The Laura Ingraham Show” that it is “imperative” that members of Congress have the right to carry weapons to defend themselves following the shooting rampage at the baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia. During the attack, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the No. 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, and three others were shot by an angry left-wing activist who’d volunteered for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
“The fact that we should be able to have an opportunity to practice our Second Amendment right to be able to arm ourselves in a concealed way, I think, is certainly common sense at this point,” Walker said. |

The suggestion that Congresscritters should be able to CCW in D.C. without considering everyone else is insulting.
Shame on those guys. Instead, they should be pushing the Article IV Full Faith and Credit bill, which would enable EVERYONE with a CCW permit to carry there. And, they should preempt local control of carry permits and mandate "shall issue" by an act of Congress. |
