The day after riots brought the U.S. Capitol to a standstill, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) noted that “several” representatives were happy to be armed while barricaded in their offices.
Following the riotous events, Massie tweeted, “The next member who argues Congressmen shouldn’t be allowed to carry firearms at work needs to be laughed out of the Capitol.”
He added, “Several of us were glad to be armed while barricaded for hours in our offices with our staff.”
Massie co-chairs the House Second Amendment Caucus along with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
On January 3, 2021 — just three days before the Capitol riots — Boebert tweeted about the caucus’s fight to preserve House members’ ability to be armed for self-defense:
The Second Amendment is more important now than ever before, but the far Left wants to take it away. @RepThomasMassie and I are fighting back.
We just launched the Second Amendment Caucus, which we will be Co-Chairing, to fight for your Constitutional rights. #2A pic.twitter.com/7KaYWS5wZ4

Congress can carry guns but you can’t
Those a**holes were there to scare, not kill.
It’ll be revealed that they were paid by good friends
of Democrat and RINO members of house and senate.
Rules for thee and not for me?
