SAF: You go first
The Second Amendment Foundation today challenged the nation’s leading opponents of gun ownership to “lead by example” and give up their own firearms and armed security before expecting the citizens, for whom they work, to surrender their ability to defend themselves.
Put your money where your mouth is.

Let’s take bets on how many actually give up their armed security.
I’ll take “less than 1” for $1000, Alex.

Markie Marxist sez: “That’s weird. What does communism have to do fairness, or ethics, or leading by example? I don’t get it. We’re about dominating people and ruthlessly crushing our opposition. Once we get gun owners adequately disarmed, we’re going to be putting them on school buses to re-education camps of no return. Why would we want to keep them around, after all the trouble they’ve given us? It just wouldn’t be common communist sense to keep them around. It looks we’ll be starting with New York State. Our man there, Cuomo, is a real bellowing Bolshevik, isn’t he? We’re going to dump some severe bans on the gun owners there. If they comply, they’ll be effectively disarmed, by modern combat standards anyway, and if they don’t, then we send them to the re-education camps, or “prisons” as they’re still called, or we just kill them in place as we find them. Regardless, once we have the ban made into law, we commies win, and one way or another, they lose. Now, we have to see about getting a wall built around the state – so they can’t get out. We commies don‘t like to let our victims escape. Ever! Ha! Ha!”

If Al Gore had of sold off his mansions and took public transportation to show he really believed in ‘Global Warming’ I would have taken him seriously. Instead he bought mansions, yachts, super fancy cars, etc…. sold his TV station to Arab oil interest, and well showed he was just a shyster and always was.
Same with these liberals who want YOU to give up YOUR guns but they will have their bodyguards, gated communities, and the like.
Hypocrisy, just balled faced hypocrisy. Just look at Obama passing legislation to give HIM 7/24 armed guards for the rest of his life. And Congress, where Capitol police guard them day and night. And movie stars with CCWs in California and bodyguards to boot.
But we are the ‘little people’. Thankfully the ‘little people’ CAN VOTE.

Haha! I sent some suggestions to the NRA similar to this yesterday. It’s time to go on the offensive.

There’s a petition to eliminate the armed security for the President, VP and their families and replace it with gun free zones:

This challenge to the blantant hyprocisy of the gun-banners should be issued over and over again–until they shut up and leave us alone!

And now you know why they weren’t invited to the Confab with Biden…probably at the request of the NRA.

I became a Life Member of the SAF a few months ago. Looks like a good investment. I upgraded to “Patron” Life membership with the NRA last year (I’ve been a Life member since the 1970’s).
The NRA isn’t perfect but it speaks loudly and the SAF appears to compliment the NRA’s long-time efforts.

And after they give up their guns (yeah right), then go disarm the criminals before you want the law abiding citizens to give theirs up.
