Default Shots fired at the Capitol.

Hearing this on Twitter at the moment. Nothing confirmed.

Senator McCaskill tweeting that the building is in lockdown. Police advising people to stay away from the windows.

Wonder what's going on, and also what false information will come out.

I'd buy tickets to watch. Hell, maybe they could broadcast it on Pay Per View. That would be sweet.

A duel requires the participants to be of an EQUAL footing and no rightist Republican would descend to that level with that leftist Democrat riffraff.

Sure bet the media will start spouting AR-15 at the first opportunity. Although after the naval yard incident, maybe they won't be so quick to "jump the gun". Pun intended.

Thou ar't too kind! My .30 M1 carbine has three of those properly stapled: 1 down, two up for the full ninety with muzzle flash cone; serious yet still timely support for the poor fellow with AK or MP4; and all the parts(ejector springs) are readily available at any gun show. The cone is actually highly collectable and repros are available at BIG 5. In dense brush(wicker) against feral porcines(considered a pest here), with a .357 Python for close work, the duo of choice. Wear firehose trousers good antitusk protection in case of nerve failure or an overly cunning brute. BBQ with marmalade/ginger glaze and serve with East India Pale Ale...or Hamm's.

it was reported that shots were fired at the capital building today but it turns out it was just a big misunderstanding as nancy pelosi had just farted and the panic that ensued after it was falsely reported as gunfire.
