John Lott makes an interesting point....why did they need private security....armed with guns, when the police were already there....
At The Hill: Media shows its true colors on guns at women’s march - Crime Prevention Research Center
Gun control advocates keep claiming that guns are only used to kill people and that people should just rely on the police to protect them.
But gun controllers’ actions keep showing that they don’t believe that. When it comes to their safety, they understand that guns save lives. Guns are for them, not the untrusted, unwashed masses.
Over the weekend, Women’s March leaders, such as co-president Linda Sarsour, were walking around with private armed security.
Given that local police were already present at the demonstration, one wonders why couldn’t police provide sufficient protection?
After all, the police were just yards away, not a phone call and an eight to 10 minutes’ wait for officers to arrive.
Of course, Michael Bloomberg and the executives at his Everytown for Gun Safety don’t go anywhere without their security details.
The Women’s March participants carried signs such as “Real men don’t need guns” or “Loaded guns under beds are bad,” but their actions presumably imply that at least women need guns for protection when they are out in public.
The media gives extensive negative news coverage to conservatives who are caught engaging in extramarital affairs because of the family values hypocrisy angle. The hypocrisy is said to be what makes the story newsworthy, but one will search in vain to see any of the mainstream media pointing to this hypocrisy by gun control advocates.
This hypocrisy is nothing new.
Gun control advocates from politicians such as former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley to Media Matters’s David Brock to celebrities such as Rosie O’Donnell have all criticized gun ownership for others while they have guns being used to protect themselves.
It is understandable that gun control advocates want to protect themselves, but they aren’t the people really at risk.
Funny chit. Guns in the hands of trainer professionals is not the same as you buying a gun & getting a permit.
You missed the point dipshit.......they had police there......so according to morons like you there was no need for anyone else to have a gun......they also don't believe in a need for guns anywhere else...they believe in gun free zones...yet, they hired professional gunmen to protect them......
Again, why didn't they just declare the march a gun free zone?
The additional security were trained securirty.
I know your point., You have a tissy fit everytimre a liberal hires armed protection.
You assholes will never get it.
Its not about guns. It is about morons running around with loaded weapons thinking they know how to properly use them. It is about easy access for criminals to get them. Its about putting out legal semiautomatiuc rifles with 150 round clips.
Its about the idea you idiots can not have any gun laws that would help reduce gun violence. My God, you fuicking morons even voted to let crazy people own guns. You voted to allow loaded guns in bars.
This is the God damn problem. You & the NRA are twins. "OMG OMG OMG I can't carry a loaded gun into the kindergarten class. "
