Man stopped near Capitol with weapons
He was found with a rifle and an AK, some mags and ammo, as well as a grenade, Capitol police detained him, seized his weapons and an investigation is underway. The guy decided to ask a Capitol police officer for directions. The officer saw the rifle in his vehicle and quickly detained him, and he's being charged for having unregistered weapons and ammunition.
The man was recently convicted for illegally carrying weapons concealed in Virginia. During that arrest, again in his car, it was found he had two (I'm guessing deactivated) grenades with powder inside and a firecracker meant to act as a fuse.
I'm glad the Capitol police detained the guy, he sounds a bit off, and he's already been convicted for charges related to illegal weapon possession once. We already had one crazy guy manage to push his way in to the Capitol with guns blazing, I'd rather they be safe than sorry.

If I remember correctly from a crazy radicalist guy I dated in my teens, you can buy grenades from Army surplus with the powder still intact, and you buy the pins separately to make a whole grenade. I could be totally wrong on this. The guy was really pretty damned crazy.
