Only super rich to be defended

Gun control is a civil rights issue. Advocates of gun control neglect to mention that restriction on high capacity magazines/military style weapons and the protections that such tools enable only apply to the 99 percent of Americans who are not super-wealthy.

Should such legislation come to pass, private security companies guarding celebrities, politicians and the super rich will not turn in their “assault weapons” and take up inferior arms.

There is a reason that certain weapons are targeted for control, it is because they are effective. They are effective in the perpetration of evil and in the defense against evil. Advocates of gun control contend that the 1 percent of us deserve to sleep peaceably at night, protected by military style firearms with high capacity magazines (should they wish it), but the average American who could never dream to afford private security should not have access to the same protection.

Advocates of gun control confirm that the lives of the super rich and influential are worth more than the lives of average people.
