Most modern day newspapers have armed guards protecting their people. They feel their employees are valuable. Same with politicians like Bloomberg and Obama.
Bloomberg would NEVER insist that New York's Tiffany Jewelry store do without armed guards. Bloomberg buys stuff at Tiffany's - he knows gold and jewels are valuable. Obama's given himself and his family lifetime armed guards because he thinks he's valuable. Fine. But so are we - the ordinary everyday citizens.
Bloomberg and Obams don't want fathers to be able to protect their families - or mothers and teachers. Bloomberg and Obama don't think fathers should be armed BECAUSE our children aren't as important...
From David Mamet:
Walk down Madison Avenue in New York. Many posh stores have, on view, or behind a two-way mirror, an armed guard. Walk into most any pawnshop, jewelry story, currency exchange, gold store in the country, and there will be an armed guard nearby. Why? As currency, jewelry, gold are precious. Who complains about the presence of these armed guards? And is this wealth more precious than our children?
Apparently it is: for the Left adduces arguments against armed presence in the school but not in the wristwatch stores. Q. How many accidental shootings occurred last year in jewelry stores, or on any premises with armed security guards?
Why not then, for the love of God, have an armed presence in the schools?
And don’t forget all along the “beltway” (not so much in the heartland cause we take care of it) but anytime these people are in trouble they call for the cops so someone with a gun will rush to help them.
