BTW, one congresswoman has already entered the chambers fully armed and not been fined or arrested.

The Secret Service Agents are armed and capable of protecting Congress in normal times - Jan 6th was an outlier - a cluster (self-censored) that should NEVER be repeated due to increased awareness and better security perimeters. The majority of the Congresspeople do NOT want a few highly polarized trigger-happy hot-heads bullying and intimidating the non-armed members who are concerned and need to concentrate on working on the over-all US problems.
