Recently, it was interesting to note that the Washington D.C. Capitol Police was opening Field Offices in California and Florida - with reportedly other offices to follow. The purpose or jurisdictional authority of this expansion was vaguely described. Something to do with monitoring the 'illegal' trafficking of guns' and 'protection of Congress.'
This reported enforcement authority, outside Washington DC proper, already falls under the jurisdiction of local, state and federal law enforcement agencies to include the FBI, the ATF, and US Marshals. Then why would the Capitol Police be expanding their authority outside the Washington DC area?
Looks more like a smokescreen. New gun laws might be on the horizon to include universal gun registration, licensing and associated fees. Can selective confiscation be far behind?
