      Yeah, but you gotta love that these people are so stupid they think they can just walk into federal buildings with a rifle as if they were the entire mob of January 6th insurrectionists.

    It’s always interesting that there is a right to bear arms but not here or there. Maybe the only place to bear arms is in the closet.

      Based on pics it looks like a rifle that’s not legal in DC due to it having too many features, and probably the named/clone ban.

      Being from Atlanta I presume the fellow did not take the 16 hour class to put in for a DC carry permit, which doesn’t let you open carry or carry on the mall.

      That’s a felony for the firearm, carrying it, one for each bullet, and each magazine over 10 rounds.

        Well, you certainly aren’t going to be bothered by the police for an hour or two if it means they might get hurt.

      Same reason you can yell fire in the middle of a field but not in a movie theater.
