Must be nice to have enough money to run others lives.
I bet she and her husband have armed security guards wherever they go.
Only for the god’s not us little people. We must go unarmed and fend for ourselves.
Ya mean like the taxes you pay every single day of your entire life?
Nothing but crap. The elite want to tell us how and what we shall have as rights.
Disarm 6 our guards first, Billy. Until then, FUWG.
will she use her million$ towards reducing jihadis guns? Or use the million towards keeping guns away from those the jihadis want to murder.
Makes me wanna avoid buying anything Microsoft.
They just want to make guns unaffordable to the Hoi Polloi.
Expanding backgrounds checks is nothing more than eliminating private sales of firearms and is a step towards registration of all firearms. Next comes the exclusion list. “Oh, you can’t have a firearm because you’re a veteran. You might have PTSD. Oh, you can’t have a firearm....you’re taking a prescription drug that might affect your mental state. Oh, you can’t have a firearm....you’re a supporter of the TEA Party.” Then comes confiscation.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Michelle Obama, Michael Bloomberg....they’re all cut from the same cloth. Liberal nanny state control freaks who think that their money and power give them the right to tell the rest of us how to live and to take away our rights and liberties. ‘eff ‘em.
Does he have armed body guards?
I always raise an eyebrow when people protected by people with guns, want guns taken away from other people....
Does he have armed body guards?
If so, he believes his life and family is more important to defend than mine or yours.
One million MORE reasons to SWITCH TO MAC!!!! ;)
Well said.
