but if you or I went in there with a weapon, we'd be arrested immediately and taken to jail. Why can't they do the same with lawmakers? Don't the rules apply to them too, or just to us common people?

I would write her a letter, but, from previous experiences (and she's my senator), I know she would never see it.

Otherwise:


Clause 1. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

You’re going to get fined for your Glock.

Nancy don’t give a hang
For things that go “bang”
And you can’t come in toting your Glock.
