A man protesting a Senate vote on expanding background checks was arrested Wednesday for carrying a loaded weapon on U.S. Capitol grounds, according to CNN:
The man, who was carrying a sign promoting Second Amendment rights, engaged in conversation with police officers who tried to advise him of the rules governing protests at the Capitol. During that conversation, the man told the officers he was carrying a gun. The officers told him that it is against the law in the District of Columbia to carry a gun without a license and he was arrested.
