WASHINGTON — U.S. Capitol Police arrested a top aide to Sen. Jim Webb on Monday after he tried to enter the a Senate office building carrying a loaded pistol and two fully loaded magazines.
Phillip Thompson sent a bag through the X-ray machine at Russell Senate Office Building, where Webb's office is located. It detected the weapon and Capitol Police say they determined that Thompson didn't have a license to carry the gun in Washington, D.C. Thompson was arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possession of an unregistered firearm and unregistered ammunition.

No, Democrats are traditionally hypocritical on gun control. It's the little people that need their guns taken away, but big shots like Senators, celebrities and journalists need to keep theirs.
I still remember the famous anti-gun journalist Carl Rowan getting busted for using a gun to scare off an intruder.

At least he didn't slap the Capital Police officer and say that the x-ray was racist and immediately call in Jesse Jackson, Danny Glover, Al Sharpton etc. the way that Cynthia McKinney did. Too bad, she didn't get re-elected last year.

No, you are adding 2 + 2 to come up with 22.

One person is not representative of a party. Also, a political party isn't going to unravel over a gun. We didn't unravel over a bj either.

No. Someone screwed up. It doesn't have any more significance than that.
