I assume this has been posited before, but I thought I would bring it up again (I did try to search). Should a politician that opposes the American
right to bear arms have armed security? Obviously a politician has a higher potential for assassination attempts etc., but do they have the right to
say they deserve armed protection over the average citizen? A gun is the ultimate force multiplier, and can protect the weak and frail from the
strong or armed. My concealed weapons permit (and Kimber) have saved my bacon three times now. If I was unarmed, I would most likely have been home
invaded once, and stabbed twice. I live in a nice neighborhood and avoid trouble spots like the plague, # just happens sometimes. Should those that
wish to leave me defenseless be granted better rights? The ATS community is obviously intelligent, and I would love to hear arguments either way.
Cheers to a world where my guns only purpose is target shooting!
