GOP Bill Would Create Capitol Gun Lockers For Reps

CBS News reports:

Some of the proposals on the bill to fund Congress’ operations have the unmistakable whiff of sarcasm. One amendment would require “stop, drop and roll” training for House colleagues who pull fire alarms.

Other proposals hammer at hot button issues, including one proposal to provide gun storage lockers on Capitol Hill for licensed gun owners, alleging growing danger in a “crime ridden” Washington, D.C. Rep. Greg Steube, Republican of Florida, has championed this idea.

Some amendments suggest Congress be prohibited from requiring COVID vaccines or masking. Another says the legislation should be changed to prohibit “funds from being used by the House Child Care Center to purchase or maintain in a school library any book that contains pornographic material or espouses radical gender ideology.”

Read the full article. There’s much more idiocracy.

Porn and gun lockers on Capitol Hill are just some of the heated issues that Republicans put into an annual House funding bill that is usually smooth sailing in Congress. @MacFarlaneNews has the details here. https://t.co/LUgHxJhjrE pic.twitter.com/L09VkEtOrW
