15. Congressmen allowed to carry guns to work?

(loose definition of the word "work", obviously...)

Does anyone think Obama would be alive today if that were the rule? Especially if it had been in place in 2008? Anybody think some Joe Wilson type would have taken a pop at him at some point? I don't think even bullet proof glass would be enough- The president would have to address Congress by remote.
