botias | My proposal: Store deposits of cash in schools and a few high profile legislators. (Reply)

When money couriers wanted to protect their shipments, did they press their legislatures to create legal Gun Free Zones around their delivery vehicles? No. They armored their vehicles and hired armed guards. When banks wanted to protect their deposits? Gun Free Zones around banks? No. Armed guards. When legislators wanted to protect themselves. Did they enact the Gun Free Capitol Act? No. Armed guards. When I hear people object to idea for schools, because 'it shouldn't have to be that way' or because 'it would be too dangerous' I get very sadly confused. Perhaps if we stored money in schools and perhaps a few elected officials? Gun control afficianado Dianne Feinstein can come work in my house. She has a concealed carry permit and armed security. (Mayors are horrendously more likely to be assassinated than other elected officials. They are high profile enough to draw the nutcases, but not generally well-funded enough to have armed security.)

I genuinely want to know what the thinking is for folks that think gun control is good enough protection for other people, but completely inadequate for their own selves.
