Capitol police protect nation

To the editor:

In response to the “$64,000 question — Why do the Capitol Police carry firearms?”

Ooh, ohh, I know. I know. (I have both hands up and am out of my chair.)

To protect the nation.

As much as I try not to watch the news, they showed it on PBS television — the only channel I trust.

I saw a loud, violent, angry, terrorist mob attempting to tear down our Capitol building. When one shot was fired, things got a lot quieter.

I don’t know how many bullets these new-fangled guns hold, but had it been me, I would have spent every shell and grabbed for a club to protect my nation.
