This is so decidedly disingenuous and downright that FUNNY! The pompous, pious Big Shots are so concerned about their
Own safety, with Armed Militias, they can't release their
own "special events" to their public they solicit.
Yet THEY seek to Disarm the Citizenry against the
Constitution that governs... THEM. Liberal minds are
so wasted on Their Oxymorons.
