Matthew Yglesias, on the bizarre arrest of an aide to Sen. James Webb for carrying a loaded gun into a Senate office building:
Why not let Senators pack heat as they roam the corridors? Then, next time Dick Cheney tells Pat Leahy to go fuck himself, Leahy can pull out his piece and fill Cheney's belly with lead. Even better, if Cheney tries to shoot back, he'll probably wind up missing and taking out half the Republican caucus.Posted by Stephen Silver at March 27, 2007 05:31 PM
Senators are allowed to carry weapons. It's the aide that wasn't allowed...
