[michael perelman]

In the wake of the Arizona shooting, Congress is discussing a number
of ways to protect themselves from gun violence.  The most interesting
suggestion is to enclose the will House Gallery in Plexiglas.

At the same time, lawmakers have been proposing making guns as
accessible as possible, even in bars and schools.  Given this
ideology, one should expect that members of would welcome this, many
armed visitors as possible.  Perhaps, to help the federal budget
deficit, visitors could rent guns when they attend sessions of
Congress.
