No. Shut up. You are stupid and wrong.
The NRA apparently feel that they haven't been vile enough in recent days, so they chose to release ads informing us that the President is an "elitist hypocrite" for having a Secret Service detail to protect his children.
Y'know...I don't believe that President Obama's children are more important or precious than any other children on this Earth, but I do believe that they are the children of a very high-profile public official who has already fielded a rather large and disturbing number of death treats from unhinged loonies who I think would have absolutely no trouble attacking his family.
As such, those are children under a rather realistic level of danger, and, consequently, having them protected by armed Secret Service agents JUST MAKES SENSE. After all, why do you put an emergency chemical shower in a chemistry lab rather than a library? Because, while you might have some risk of getting hit by caustic chemicals while researching for your history paper, it's a hell of a lot more likely when you're in the place where the caustic chemicals actually live.
But, then again, I'm one of those gun control advocates who would never even allow a gun into my house because guns actually frighten me, so I suppose that makes me a monster who hates freedom, right?
Hey, Wayne LaPierre already established that anyone who's mentally ill is a monster, y'know!
Just...fuck these guys.
