So…
You just have to love the irony of it all.
Here’s the question of the day:
What do those who fear guns fear MORE than guns???
The answer:
Emails and phone calls.
Try not to laugh.
I mean, really try.
I dare ya.
The Journal News…That NY Newspaper that published an online interactive map of registered gun owners in a couple of counties has…
Wait for it…
HIRED ARMED GUARDS FOR THEIR OFFICES!!!!
Oh yes they did.
The armed security, they say, is in response to…
Wait for it…..
“A previously reported a large amount of negative correspondence in response to the media outlet’s publication of local gun permit holders.”
Yep…
Journal News Editor, Caryn McBride has hired RGA Investigations, a private security company, to provide armed security for their building through “at least” today.
One assumes that should their phones continue to ring or, of the sound of “You’ve Got Mail” rings out in their offices, armed security will remain on site.
Oh the irony.
The Journal News published the map because, they claimed, it would make people in their counties safer if they knew who had a gun in their home.
If they knew which law abiding citizens have a gun in their home.
Just a couple of days ago, McBride and the Journal News were talking big about publishing MORE such maps with MORE addresses to supposedly make people MORE safe.
What happened?????
Apparently, people started calling the newspaper offices and sending emails.
Oh the horror.
Were the emails threatening?
No. Not according to police.
According to local police, McBride showed ONE email to an officer and that email from “an unknown subject who wondered what McBride would get in her email now.”
When the officer told McBride the email was NOT an offense…THAT’S when McBride called in the ARMED GUARDS!!!
You see…
Guns in the HOMES of law abiding citizens are DANGEROUS and DEADLY but, guns guarding McBride and the Journal News staff are GOOD.
Now, don’t get me wrong here.
I see no problem at all with armed security guards at the Journal News offices.
After all, they must be protected against high capacity email accounts and multi-line phone systems.
One has to wonder though, where Caryn McBride stands on having armed security in SCHOOLS?
Personally, I believe what armed guards would be protecting in SCHOOLS is far more important than what they’re protecting at the Journal News and without a doubt, what those in schools would be protected FROM is far more dangerous that an email or a phone call.
What we have here is a perfect case in point.
It is NOT the GUNS that are dangerous. Isn’t that right McBride?
The GUNS are NOT the problem are they?
Indeed not.
It’s the PEOPLE that are dangerous.
McBride and her staff are scared of the PEOPLE and so, they hired ARMED security for PROTECTION didn’t they?
It occurs to me that without the protection of the 2nd Amendment, McBride would be UNABLE to protect her staff.
In fact, the 1stAmendment is indeed protected by the 2nd!!!
What’s more…I suspect that had there been any REAL threat to the Journal News, nearly ANYONE on their published gun owner map would have been willing to provide the same level of protection as RGA because, after all, that’s exactly why they own firearms to begin with.
You see, each and every house on the “Oh-So-Dreaded” gun owner map is doing for their home and their family what McBride has done by hiring armed security for her building and her staff.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE.
NONE!!!
The fact is, more and more schools are bringing in armed security.
Last week, 200 Utah teachers took gun training courses.
Jon Hornik, the mayor of Marlboro Township in New Jersey, says there WILL be armed security guards in HIS district’s 9 schools starting this month.
Sheriff Joe is using armed volunteer posse members to protect the schools in Maricopa County Arizona.
As criticism from mainstream Pravda news outlets and Obama propaganda pundits mounts against the NRA and Wayne LaPierre’s call for armed security at every school in America, I haven’t heard a word of disdain for the armed security at the Journal News.
The hypocrisy of socialists knows no bounds.
Feinstein wants an all-out ban on guns and is willing to chip away the 2nd Amendment bit by bit to get it and she used to conceal/carry a .357.
Schumer is right there with her and HE has his OWN conceal/carry permit.
Socialists don’t want armed security in schools but DO want it for themselves.
Obama wants more and more gun control and David Gregory fully supports him but the Obama and Gregory kids go to the same school and THAT school is CRAWLING with armed security ASIDE from the Secret Service.
Apparently…What’s good for the goose stepping socialists is best banned from the law abiding conservative gander.
By the way, if you wish to reach out to the fine folks at the News Journal:
Be nice!!!
Isn’t it rich….
A lot of GUM flapping again.
BUT
I notice
1. NO address for us to forward mail too!
2. No personal addresses for the staff at the Journal
3. No list of Advertiser that use the Journal.
We have got to STOP being REACTIVE and start Being PRO – ACTIVE.
If you want to make a difference and not just noise. Organize a Fund to buy the Journal. Organize an effort to target there advertisers!
GET REAL OR GET OUT
arr,
Perhaps you should be reading The National Patriot more often.
Here ya go…From Dec. 26th!!!
