So, let's all send one or two of our Congresscritters a couple of empty brass casings each, to see if we can get them some special attention from the DC Police. If we could get enough of them out on "vacation"....

I wonder how much of that is true. They cite one incident at a VA where metal detectors were involved. That would have been the Dept of VA FEDERAL police as well vs DC. IF anybody is arrested for an empty shell casing that is absurd..

You realize the solution for that is to require the wearing of shoes at all times....

Or not leaving upright shell casings laying about...

Perhaps she stepped on them, or they were thrown at her.

Maybe I need to start turning my pistol sideways before I shoot.

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.
Dunno who made the policy.
