83 House Members Reject Democrat Plan to Prevent Lawmakers From Carrying Firearms on Capitol Hill<\/a><\/p>\n

More than 80 members of the House of Representatives are taking a stand against a Democrat plan to end lawmakers\u2019 eligibility to carry firearms on the grounds of Capitol Hill under current regulations.<\/p>\n

The effort is being lead by Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) who says she refuses to give up her ability to carry a firearm while spending time in the crime ridden District of Columbia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI refuse to give up my Second Amendment rights,\u201d Boebert said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>, adding:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a 5-foot tall, 100-pound mom with four children and will be walking to work and serving in one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. I choose to defend my family and my life with all of the force the Constitution provides. I will not let a bunch of gun-grabbing House Democrats take away my Constitutional right to protect myself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Colorado representative\u2019s call for allowing the continuation to pack heat has been joined by 82 other members including Louie Gohmert, Matt Gaetz, and Dan Crenshaw.<\/p>\n

21 Democrats wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi asking her to stop me from being able to carry on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

I choose to defend my family and my life with all of the force the Constitution provides.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m honored that 82 of my colleagues have decided to stand with me. pic.twitter.com\/OBkVuAFvv7<\/a><\/p>\n
