Police in Washington, D.C., have been referred
materials for a possible investigation into two Republican congressmen
who posed for a picture with an assault rifle in a House office
building.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) last week tweeted a picture
of himself and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), the leader of the House’s
Benghazi investigation, holding an AR-15.
Having the AR-15 in the District could be a
violation of the city’s strict gun laws, and the city attorney
general’s office has referred the matter to police, a spokesman told The
Hill.
The Republicans will use any potential investigation
as a reason to tout their “Second Amendment Rights,” but the issue is
the respect for existing laws. The hypocritical contradiction between
law and order conservatives, and the Republican willingness to violate
laws that they disagree with is striking.
Contrary to what Republicans believe, this is not a
Second Amendment, or personal liberty issue. It is an issue of public
safety and respect for the law.
Rep. Gowdy is better known as the guy who is
supposed to be leading the House’s latest Benghazi investigation, but
his credibility will be damaged if he is breaking the law while
investigating the Obama administration for breaking the law.
Gowdy
is another Republican, who President Obama lawless while he is
potentially breaking the law. Republicans have demonstrated repeatedly
that the when it comes to breaking the law, nobody outdoes the GOP.
