An aide to Michigan Democratic Rep. John Conyers got off with a warning after illegally bringing a gun into a public building.

Security officers at a federal building in downtown Detroit found a gun in the purse of Betty Petrenz, Conyers’ office manager. Bringing weapons into government buildings is strictly forbidden, but Petrenz received no sentence or formal punishment. Just a ticket, which will be stricken from her record if she demonstrates good behavior.

Conyers is a strong advocate of stronger gun control laws who has received an “F” grade from the National Rifle Association.

I remember when we had a country of laws, not a government of men. George Orwell and Ayn Rand would be impressed with how accurately they predicted our future.

The stupid is strong in this one. The funny thing is that you can't carry a gun in a courthouse but you can carry in the capitol building.

Typical democrat hypocricy. They make laws for other people while they do what they want and live off the fat of the land.

Had this been a TEA or NRA Member, they’d be looking at 20 years to life in the supermax.

Their house would have been SWATted, ransacked, and their dog shot while they were getting booked, and everyone in their e mail address book would be audited for the next 7 years.
