Rep. Mo Brooks said he will introduce a bill soon that would allow congressmen and senators to carry guns, Fox Business reports.

Brooks, R-Huntsville, appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo, where he addressed the shooting last week at a practice for a charity baseball game in Alexandria, Va.

"Right now when we're in Washington, D.C., once we're off the complex ... we're still high-profile targets, but we have absolutely no way to defend ourselves because of Washington, D.C.'s rather restrictive gun laws," Brooks said.

Brooks was not injured by the gunman, but House Majority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise was seriously wounded. The shooter, James T. Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, was fatally shot in a firefight with police.

Brooks' name was reportedly on a list of assassination targets found on Hodgkinson's body that also included other Republican congressmen, AL.com reported Friday. Brooks told Fox he is concerned.

"You've got a situation where, yes, this one shooter has been killed, but he's a member of an organization that applauded what transpired on Wednesday," Brooks said. "And so those of us who are on this assassination list ... it behooves us to be a little bit more wary than we otherwise might be."
