Dem Staffer Arrested for Bringing Ammunition into House Office Building

GP: Perhaps inspired by the Hunter Biden pardon, a Democrat House staffer on Monday decided that the laws of America should not apply to him.

As Fox News reported, 38-year-old Michael Hopkins, who works for Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY), was arrested for allegedly attempting to bring ammunition into the Cannon House Office Building. Capitol police said they noticed the ammunition on the x-ray screen.

All told, police found four ammunition magazines and eleven rounds when they searched his bag. Hopkins claims he “forgot” the objects were in the bag. more

  1. Last summer I was standing in line inside our local post office when I realize, oh shit, I forgot to leave my gun in my truck. I finished my biz and split. I’m almost certain it happens a lot. This guy had a couple mags with nothing to load them into. I’m not sure why this is so news worthy or even why he was arrested.

  2. If he’s stupid enough to be a staffer for a New York dem pol, he’s stupid enough to forget he’s got mags and ammo and forget that he goes through an X-ray checkpoint every time he goes to work. In other words, I actually believe him when he says he forgot. More accurate, though, would be to say that he “just wasn’t thinking,” because he never does much thinking.

  3. I have entered our Post Office on occasion while intentionally still packing.
    It’s a small town, no metal detectors and I’m sure that I am more trustworthy than the federal employee that is waiting on me.

  4. I blew my knee out the Monday before Thanksgiving. I got an X-ray and a cortisone shot on Wednesday. Half of the 22Mag in my pocket showed on the x-ray. The female doctor asked what caliber. I replied 22Mag and she replied “that will work”.
