I wonder what they mean by a "nonworking firearm." Was it only a display? Was it simply not loaded? Was it non-firing because the firing pin was removed? How about the 'high capacity' (ie., standard) magazine? Of course the Capitol Police cannot legally "tell (him he) can possess it." Just because you're a politician, or famous, or think you need one, does that make it legal? Certainly a typical citizen might carry/possess a firearm outside the law, but when outed, should be subject to the law.
