The irony is lost

On people who are willing to surrender liberty for a hand-out. (Looking at you KG)


Virginia’s radically anti-gun Governor and Attorney General were probably quite pleased with themselves when they spitefully severed concealed carry agreements with 25 states, including all but one of its neighbors.

They probably didn’t anticipate the backlash they’ve received, which includes calls to recall or impeach Attorney General Mark Herring, and pushes for legislation that will both strip elected officials of the ability to make such unilateral decisions, and get a little payback.

…Carrico said he’ll address the issue come January.

“A lot of the governor’s power is deferred to the General Assembly at that point and I’ll be getting with my collegues to circumvent everything this governor has done on this point,” he said. “I have a budget amendment that I’m looking at to take away his executive protection unit. If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen.”

Make no mistake, this is nothing but a bluff. Mr. Carrico would not want it on his conscience if something, God forbid, were to happen to the governor because the General Assembly took away his security.

That being said, it is a brilliant illustration. There is no rational argument to this. Either the governor thinks that guns are good for protection or he doesn’t (*or* he thinks his life is more important than the citizens in his state — something that he might actually believe but could never say). There is no other rational argument. If guns are good enough to protect him, why aren’t they good enough to protect the citizens of Virginia?
