Crazy that the State Capitol in Washington D.C. never had a metal detector until now

They also supported drug tests for welfare recipients, but won't take them themselves. They would fail.

Not surprised. As I understand it several GOP lawmakers had their own guns on them at the time of the riot. Meaning either they carry them all the time, or they were aware they needed them on that particular day. Either way, how was anyone allowed to have a weapon in capitol building who wasn’t a duly sworn law enforcement official?

Does this really have to be one side versus the other?

When I was at the capitol building it had metal detectors, seems odd that was temporary?
