There is actual wording that could make a bill barring the carry of a firearm within 1000 feet of a congressman palatable.
Like maybe building a 100' high wall around DC, with all the anti-gun politicians inside (with the criminals who ignore laws)? Then we'd need another wall 1000' inside that one, to be sure that no citizen outside the walls would inadvertantly break the law.
But you know, members of Congress & their staff members are allowed to transport (encased) firearms into their place of employment. So they'd be safe from the criminals, at least for a little while.
Yeah, I read that little tidbit in one of the news articles talking about the AZ shooting & what Congresscritters were talking about doing to protect themselves. Sickening, isn't it? They prevent citizens from protecting themselves, or carrying into gov't buildings, then go ahead & exclude themselves from the law.
