If politicians won't give up their security, why should we give up the means to protect ourselves?

[Sixgunsound]

At it's most basic, no matter your beliefs on private property or exercise of constitutionally enshrined rights, this is a question of hypocrisy that needs to be asked. As always, personal attacks and flames will be coming down. Let's have a good clean debate, good luck!

Oh... wait a minute... there it is!. No... that's not it. Darn! Where'd I put it? I hide it so's nothin' bad happens. Then I can't find it! Shucks! Oh wait... they're it is, I found my gun! Yippie! It was right on top of the fridge just a layin' there in case I need it. Sometimes I can't get to it cause I'm so darn short I can't see it on top of the fridge. Now I just gotta remember harder where it's at because I might need it to protect me. Darn, wished I had taken up practice shooting her at the firing range last winter. Maybe I can at least blow off someone's head if I gotta! Yep, they better not mess with ole Jim here. Right? Named ma gun Jim after me. That way I'll remember what I named it in case I need to find it. I'll just hollar Jim real loud and hope she hears me. I know, I know, she is a she with a man's name. No need to tell me cuz I'm the one that named her.
Hey, you'd never believe me if I told ja I wadn't always like this, but I told myself I'd do anything to get the heck out of my rich Democratic family and so I did;

Bullseye. I've actually always wondered why the people who want my guns are always flanked by heavily armed security 24/7

[RealMarek]

Because hypocrisy is the luxury of power. Look at it from the elite’s perspective. Why should they allow us the means to protect ourselves? It only raises the risk level to them, especially while they are actively trying to impoverish most of the people and are becoming authoritarian.

[Sixgunsound]

German National socialism wouldn’t have worked with the historical police or gun rights or access to healthcare. It makes more sense what the elites are doing now when you understand their blueprint.

[FunkyMonkee]

We shouldn't!!
The ONLY reason they want us to give up OUR guns is the 2nd Amendment!! If we have nothing to protect us from them, they can do ANYTHING THEY WANT TO US! Why no one's USED the 2nd to stop this iidiocy dictatorship by now is beyond me!! THIS is EXACTLY what it's for!!

[TroyDT]

Even if they do give up theirs I am unwilling to surrender my own inherent right to defend myself and others.

[worldscolide]

Short answer is we should not. Politicians on both sides of the fence are worthless.

[joeldalton]

We should not. I won't disarm until Biden's security does.

[Sixgunsound]

We should not disarm even if his security does. Not necessarily to do anything to him in particular, but the only reason Russia and Germany beat us to totalitarianism is because their citizens disarmed first.

[joeldalton]

well of course. But we both know his security will never disarm.

[ChiTown33]

Because an unarmed populace is much more easily controlled.

[Julie4]

And by what means do citizens protect themselves?

[Sixgunsound]

Resisting gun grabs, learning who our neighbors are and talking to them in person, voting (though that stopped mattering decades ago. Over a century ago if Samuel Clemens has anything to say about it.) organizing civil defense groups, etc.

[DCooper]

You absolutely shouldn't.

[Agape93]

Exactly
