Fenty Giving Up the Armed Guards
Pro-Gun Progressive says that Washington DC mayor Adrian Fenty has forgone his armed detail and is driving his own car, presumably to deflect criticism:
The cynic in me thinks it’s no accident he’s doing this as the Supreme Court gets ready to consider the Parker decision; he knows he’s about to argue that gun control is keeping DC safe, that you don’t need an armed guard, that you don’t need a gun to feel safe, etc…and he’s trying to practice what he preaches.
Of course, Washington DC is not that safe of a city. Just ask former DC mayor Marion Barry.

Here’s hoping the local muggers treat him exactly the same way they treat the rest of their victims.

That would be sweet but it wont happen. Why? Does anyone really believe that Fenty dos’nt have armed guards followng him?

Isn’t somebody going to mention how wasteful it is for one guy with (maybe) a briefcase, to be commuting/traveling around DC in a Ford Excursion. Seems particularly wasteful in light of DC’s extensive (and heavily subsidized) Subway and bus lines. Really, if the (liberal Democrat) mayor wants to stop looking like a hypocrite, he should embrace public transport as well.
