Guns For Me But Not For Thee

As Chris pointed out If armed security guards are ineffective, why do anti gun people send their children to schools with lots of them?

Why do their kids deserve to be safer than my kid or yours? 

How is it that some cops who get to carry all the time off work anywhere and public officials or rich folks who have armed security think I should not be able to have a weapon?

The only conclusions I can come to is that A) they think they are superior to normal folks and B) gun control is not about guns it is about control.

Also on another note if I ever get to rewrite the Constitution I will add an amendment that all elected officials are required to send their school aged children to the worst performing public school in the area they represent. Maybe then they would get serious about fixing education.

I think both A and B are correct. Sounds like gun registration is on the horizon, according to the news today.

Im going to coin a new saying: Any registered gun, has a fool for an owner.

Is the word verification to keep the Obots from posting?

Sexton said it, "...fool for an owner."
The recent screwspaper posting of "gun permits" in NY is just a warning. Thank God I live in a part of America where I do NOT need permission to be an American.

And: does 'superior' = 'elite'? and 'control' = washington 'elite'?

Buck, We started getting spammed pretty good. I didn't really care until it shifted to being 'adult' which would offend some of our more conservative readers.

That's just mean to their kids, who did't choose their @$$clown parents.

I'd rather see the pol-tards required to eat lunch dailoy and maintain their permanent office space at the worst performing public school in their district.

Seeing councilman or congressman Fullacrap daily risking getting jacked in the men's room or forking down Friday's mystery meat would do alot more to solve the problem than torturing their kids.


As for the registration nonsense, the only way anything I own is getting registered or turned in will be bullets first, one at a time.

There was a lot of talk in the recent past over on AmMerc's blog about deciding what a "trigger event" (you should overlook the pun) for any sort of uprising or serious discontent would look like. As best as I recall, the British tried gun confiscation back in 1775, and I don't figure my tolerance for the idea has grown any fonder than it was for those alive back then.

I'm a peaceful man and I'd be the last to advocate violence, but it seems like there's metric buttloads of idiots on the other side of the gun divide - including way to many elected fools - whose mouths are writing rhetorical checks their hides don't want to cash. Events will tell, but it may be getting time to thin that herd.

Best Regards,
Aesop

I think there's a significant degree of obliviousness as well.

"I called [DC Mayor] Gray to ask him about his assertion that more guns mean more violence, noting that he himself travels the city with armed police bodyguards, a service not afforded the typical Washington resident. “Well, first of all, I’ve never even seen the guns that the security people have..."

They don't see the guns, ergo they must not exist! I bet if you polled the parents at Sidwell Friends School and asked them if their kids had armed security guards watching over them constantly, a significant number would say, "Of course not! There's no guns there!"

Exactly - no one's life is more important than anothers, denying them the means to self protection while themselves receiving it is completely hypocritical.
