Nearly two dozen people have been charged with illegally carrying guns on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., so far this year, and the pace has been picking up since the Capitol Complex reopened to tourist visits.
Nearly two dozen people have been charged with illegally carrying guns on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., so far this year, including four in the past month, according to a CBS News review of court records and U.S. Capitol Police reports. There have been nearly as many gun arrests by Capitol Police just over midway through 2023 as there were in all of 2022, and the pace has been picking up since the Capitol Complex reopened to tourist visits at the beginning of the year.
On Monday, a 43-year-old Texas man was stopped while carrying a semiautomatic handgun at an entrance to the U.S. Capitol Visitor's Center. A police report said the man told officers he didn't know the gun was in his bag. He'll face a series of charges, including possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of a high-capacity feeding device.
According to the CBS News review, Capitol Police have made 19 firearms arrests so far in 2023, nearly matching the 25 they made in all of 2022. Since the Capitol complex reopened after the pandemic, which shuttered the Capitol complex in 2021 and 2022, it has hosted a fuller regimen of the protests, rallies and press events that were less frequent during the peak of the COVID outbreak.
