Gun control advocates holding elective office have only two reasons why it’s OK for them and their families to employ armed guards while, at the same time, denying law-abiding citizens their Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms: 1) The pols and their peeps face a greater threat level than the average citizen and 2) Armed guards are more responsible with guns than average citizens. Neither of these “arguments” is particularly compelling. The first is anti-egalitarian and the second is irrelevant. In the midst of this national “conversation on guns,” a reporter should confront President Obama and/or Vice President Biden about this self-defense double-standard, and then closely question their reply. Just sayin’ . . .
