Despite launching a gun control agenda that threatens to
disarm the American people, President Obama has signed a bill that
would afford him armed Secret Service protection for life.
“The legislation, crafted by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy
of South Carolina, rolls back a mid-1990s law that imposed a 10-year
limit on Secret Service protection for former presidents. Bush would
have been the first former commander in chief affected,” reports Yahoo News.
The new bill, which will cost American taxpayers
millions of dollars, is a re-instatement of a 1965 law which will see
presidents protected for life as well as their children up to age 16.
The irony of Obama seeking to surround himself with
armed men for the rest of his life while simultaneously working to
disarm the American people via a gun control agenda that is likely to be
enforced via executive decree represents the height of hypocrisy.
But it’s not the first time that Obama has lauded the
notion of responsible Americans using firearms to protect himself and
his family while concurrently eviscerating that very same right for the
American people.
During an ABC Nightline interview broadcast
on December 26 yet recorded before the Sandy Hook shooting, Obama said
one of the benefits of his re-election was the ability “to have men with
guns around at all times,” in order to protect his daughters.
In addition, the school attended by Obama’s daughters in Washington D.C. has no less than 11 armed security guards on
duty at all times, yet the idea of arming teachers and school officials
to prevent school massacres has been dismissed by gun control advocates
who want school campuses to remain “gun free zones” where victims are
disarmed and shooters are free to carry out their rampage unimpeded.
The hypocrisy of gun control advocates who feverishly
work to create victim disarmament yet surround themselves with armed men
is rampant amongst the political class.
As we reported last month, despite in the same year calling for “Mr. and Mrs. America” to “turn in” their guns California Senator Dianne Feinstein, author of a draconian bill set to be introduced later this month that would treat gun owners like sex offenders, admitted to carrying a concealed weapon for her own protection after she was threatened by a terrorist group.
Other prominent gun control advocates such as Mayor Michael Bloomberg have also aggressively pushed to disarm Americans while themselves employing armed bodyguards at all times.
Michael Moore, another vehement proponent for gun control, also has armed bodyguards, one of whom was arrested for carrying an unlicensed weapon at New York’s JFK airport back in 2005.
A White House petition created at the end of last month calls for making the White House and all federal buildings gun free zones.
“If the government believes gun free zones are a solution for citizens,
the same standard should apply to government servants and employees,” states the petition, which currently has over 12,000 signatures.
