A BILL - To allow Members of Congress to carry a concealed firearm anywhere in the United States, with certain exceptions. [More]How about nowhere that I can't?
That said, this is basically much ado about nothing in terms of real change, but about plenty in terms of real insight:
This reminds me of something that I have in my notes, referring to a book available via Google:
ReplyDelete“March 30th 1705
From a book called "The Manuscripts of the Marquis of Ormonde".
LICENCES TO ROMAN CATHOLICS, TO CARRY ARMS.
AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF THE NAMES OF ALL SUCH PERSONS OF THE POPISH RELIGION
WITHIN THE KINGDOM OF IRELAND WHO HAVE LICENSES TO BEAR OR CARRY ARMS.
All below were licenced to carry 1 sword, 1 case of pistols, and 1 gun.”
A rather short list, with many having the description of “Sir”, “Lord”, “Colonel”, “Lieutenant Colonel” or “Captain”.
I thought that we rejected that system on July 4, 1776.
