(6,917 posts)I was just embarrassed by someone who said it was a legal carry. And when I researched it, apparently these ass-hats disabled the gun and got a special permit to have it.
The image is misleading.

(33,982 posts)That is a high cap mag, and the lower receiver is what is classified as 'the firearm', so removing the bolt doesn't make it legal.
I'd be curious to know more about the permit.

(2,062 posts)Capital police state that congress members can have firearms in the confines of their office as long as the firearms remain unloaded....hmmm but if you try to carry an unloaded firearm into the capital building.....duck and cover....

(8,203 posts)Like the current SOH Boehner....re tobacco corps - from 1996 documentary by PBS called "The People and the Power Game," John Boehner is caught red-handed in an amazing act of corruption -
From Crooks and Liars..
Boehner: Mine asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. I did it on the House floor which I regret and I should not have done, it's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that's gone on here for a long time.
Were the checks from tobacco companies?
Boehner: Ahh, I think if my memory serves me correctly, I think it was a tobacco company, yes.
Q)....but in this case tobacco's well timed contributions helped save its subsidy. The people that were passing out the checks won.
So how did he become their leader in the HOUSE? Oh right, being corrupt is just fine for Republicans...

IMO, BOTH should be/should have been charged.

(8,203 posts)Of course Boehner is going to it it wasn't illegal...but in days past and current - corruption is everywhere - and those with the captian kangaroo pockets.."just fill 'em up - and I will make this go away"....pay to play...

Jakes Progress
(11,122 posts)Or did you really think Diane owns that gun?
Or were you just pumping for the NRA?
Shamash
(597 posts)I believe the purpose of the OP was noting that possession of such weapons is illegal in DC, and illegal possession has nothing to do with ownership. If you disagree, see how far that gets you when you tell the nice officer "It's not mine, I'm just holding it for someone else so that makes it okay."
But if you really wish to make comparison of the pictures, one is a picture of one non-functional weapon with a trigger lock, kept in a locked case and only then after advance permission was given by Capitol Police (even if that permission was faulty), and the other is a picture of a veritable arsenal of completely functional and unsecured weapons.
I guess it is just a case of IOKIYAD?

YoungDemCA
(5,714 posts)...unless Buck is telling the truth, that he did in fact get permission to bring an AR-15 into his House office by the Capitol Police:
The District also prohibits a person from carrying or having readily accessible a firearm upon the U.S. Capitol Grounds or within any of the Capitol Buildings. Capitol Buildings are the U.S. Capitol, the Senate and House Office Buildings and garages, the Capitol Power Plant, all subways and enclosed passages connecting two or more of such structures, and the real property underlying and enclosed by any such structure.

FWIW, here's the text of the law itself.

We need the Capitol Police to set the record straight here.

(19,243 posts)Last week, Colorado Rep. Ken Buck tweeted a photo of himself and Rep. Trey Gowdy posing with the American-flag-painted assault rifle.
Buck told the Washington Post that he received clearance from authorities to transport the firearm from his home state to his office on Capitol Hill.
I went to Capitol Hill police, Buck said. They went to the D.C. police, [and] they got permission for me to transport it into the District. I went to TSA, and followed all of the regulations in getting it onto the plane and getting it here.

If you had spelled it either "idiocy" or "idiocracy", depending on what you meant. Making us look like Tea Party placard wavers misspelling words about low intelligence does not help make your point.
Considering that the weapon in the picture posted by the OP is about as dangerous as a picture of a gun (the parts that let it fire a bullet are in Colorado), explaining why it is idiocy would also be a nice touch to help distinguish you from the gentleman above.
