The House officially passed new rules this week that include a $5,000 fine for bypassing the security measure on the first offense and $10,000 fines for additional offenses.
Spokespeople for both Reps. Gohmert and Clyde didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Some other Republican House members have pushed back on the new security measures. Reps. Lauren Boebert, Ralph Norman, and Randy Weber have previously refused to abide by the new rules. last month in violation of House rules. Harris reportedly asked a colleague, GOP Rep. John Katko, to hold his weapon, but Katko refused to because he said he doesn't have the appropriate license.
Some Democratic members of Congress have expressed concern for their own safety in the Capitol complex in the wake of the deadly attack by pro-Trump loyalists. Shortly after Harris was found with a concealed weapon,that many lawmakers"still don't yet feel safe around other members of Congress." "The moment you bring a gun onto the House floor, in violation of rules, you put everyone around you in danger," she said."It is irresponsible. It is reckless.""It is beyond comprehension why any Member would refuse to adhere to these simple, common-sense steps to keep this body safe," she said.
Imagine going to the airport and telling TSA you refuse to go through the detector. What's the problem if they have nothing to hide?
What are they trying to prove?

In a regular job they would have been fired by now.
The average Congressman has 146 days in sessions. That's 730,000 a year per person. Keep it up! replouiegohmert and andrewclymer and rally your GOP colleagues. We can put that money on Biden's Health Care Bill- coming soon!
Is it like parking tickets. When they get to 5, they get booted and towed to an undisclosed location until soone can find them?
Keep them out! Pay the fine & tell them to leave.
