Bob Johnson, owner of a national investment banking firm, lives in Farmington.

I think bankers literally live in a different world. They awake in their mansions in a gated community with security guards. They board their limos for the long commute to work (no public transportation, no siree, they could get mugged!). They spend the workday insulated from the public via layers of receptionists and armed guards. Their kids go to private schools, and every public and private function they attend is also attended by hordes of hired off duty moonlighting cops. They are on a first name basis with the local politicians because they contribute the cash for their re-election. No one they know needs guns because in their liberal cocoon they and their children are insulated and protected from threat by immediate and lethal armed retaliation by the hired help. It's just someone else (without the white gloves on) who's doing the dirty work and pulling the trigger.

The real threat, for them, exists in the full realization of the Constitution in which all the rights of everyday people are backed in the ultimate by the Second Amendment. Everyday people! The right to bear arms! The horror!

Somewhere, this Mr. "Johnson"-- presuming he really exists at all-- is looking down at the rest of America while ever so discreetly holding his own nose pinched shut. If he finds the true meaning of the Second Amendment so disagreeable, perhaps he needs to pack his belongings and take a ship back to wherever his (no doubt illustrious) ancestors came from.

its a elitist syndrome. Mr. Banker believes he would be allowed to keep a firarm for any reason because he can afford to arrange the paperwork. Its better for him because if guns are outlawed then he will not have to worry about armed robbers taking his stuff or thretening him. (I am certain he,if real, has not thought this out or has and is lying)
