Heh.  Well, somebody confiscating a gun from a visitor going into the
whitehouse could drop it, have it go off, the bullet ricochet through
a window near the president, startling him, causing him to push the
Big Red Button, nuclear war, all die, o the embarrassment.

So clearly, any attempt to keep guns out of the hands of visitors
to the whitehouse is a Bad Idea.

Oh, well, now you're just being... um... reasonable, or something.
