Republican lawmaker tries to bring a gun onto the floor of the House but is turned away by police after he set off metal detectors put in place after Capitol riot

 Harris then asked another lawmaker, Rep. John Katko of New York to take the gun so he can enter the chamber and vote on granting a waiver that would let retired Army General Lloyd Austin serve as President Joe Biden’s defense secretary.

 

 Katko refused holding his gun, saying he had no license to carry guns. Harris then left the premises and returned minutes later without his firearm.

 

The incident which happened on Thursday, January 21, comes after the House imposed new safety rules following the January 6 MAGA riot at the US Capitol.

 

Rep. Lauren Boebert (pictured below) , has bragged about her desire to carry her  pistol into the Capitol, and had a standoff with Capitol Police on January 12 as she didn't let them search her bag after she set off the security alarm on Tuesday night.
