Yet many states and cities won't allow a regular citizen to protect themselves.

If more Citizens were packing heat Jared wouldn’t have gotten off more than a couple of shots!

“After the elections, I let my guard down,” Shuler, an ex-NFL player, told Politico. “Now I know I need to have [my gun] on me.”

Oh of course.
Someone shoots them, it’s a crisis.
Muslim invaders kill us and it’s “racist” to want to protect ourselves.
How typical of the Ruling Elite.

The U.S. Marshals Service can deputize a member of Congress as a special deputy marshal if a threat assessment shows they are in danger, a federal law enforcement official said. Some animals are more equal than others.

I would not even serve as dogcatcher in this country without packing. Of course they should be armed. Citizens too.

If Heath Shuler knew how to protect himself, he wouldn’t have been sacked so many times.

Giffords was ambushed from behind. If she was armed it wouldn’t have helped.

I can't wait for the first case of a Congressman shooting to death a constituent who opposed a position, because the Congressman felt "threatened."
It will become worse than panicky policemen shooting Fido because he barked.

Carrying a special deputy badge allows the bearer to carry a concealed handgun anywhere, including inside a federal building like the U.S. Capitol.
There is nothing special about these people at all unless your life is of less value.What boat of privilege did these people get off of?

Yes, it’s tragic no one took him out quickly.

If she was armed it wouldnt have helped.But she was surrounded by a crowd of other democrats, so nobody else there had a gun either.

Of course it’s always the armed elite employed with body guards who take your gun, or push for a taking.
