FRANKFORT – State Sen. Morgan McGarvey, D-Louisville, has drafted a bill to prohibit deadly weapons and masks in the state Capitol, responding to an incident in the building last week that made national headlines.
Following a gun rights rally outside the Capitol on Friday, roughly a dozen men with rifles entered the building and gathered in the rotunda, many posing for photos while wearing masks and with guns raised above their heads.
McGarvey told The Courier Journal on Wednesday he has already drafted a bill to prohibit anyone from wearing a mask or bringing a deadly weapon into the Capitol, including guns, and expects to file it by the end of the week.
“There’s no reason to have people with masks walking around the Capitol with assault rifles when we’re confiscating nail clippers from teachers,” said McGarvey, referring to accounts of teachers who say such items were taken by Capitol security in recent years.
Then don’t confiscate nail clipper from teachers, idiot.
What he really doesn’t like is the optics of armed citizens to whom he has to report, all of whom had good muzzle and trigger discipline while they were in the building.
It goes against the narrative. You know, the narrative that the pols are kings, and that gun owners are bumbling morons who have NDs. He’s confusing us with the cops.
As they say, this is a solution in search of a problem.

Is it possible that those armed persons in the rotunda were actually .gov .fed or some other 3 letter agency looking to stir the sh*t pot? As we all know, the filth that I mentioned are not above this or any other heinous bullshi*t.

The fact that they didn’t do anything sez all we need to know.
On the other hand just a small group made a big impression! But sooner or later Auntifa will do something stupid.
Their problem is if they start shooting, patriots will start shooting back.
Basically the same reason Hadji don’t show up. Along with muzzle awareness and trigger control. Comes situational awareness.

A few years back, friend of liberty TX legislator (now Lite Gov) Dan Patrick, after a shot was fired outside the Capitol, won installation of happy monkey dance security at the front door. Poor boy was a’feared for his safety.
Must be working since there have been no more shots fired outside the Capitol.
But if you buy a state license to carry you don’t have to do the dance.
