Two House Democrats are pushing a bill that would it make it illegal for lawmakers to carry a gun anywhere on Capitol Hill.

Reps. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) and Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) introduced the No Congressional Gun Loophole Act on Dec. 28, 2020, and reintroduced it in the new session of Congress last week.
