Them, And Everybody Else (Of Course)

I’m not really interested in getting into a discussion about firearms, concealed weapons, or American gun laws, but this (via UnCivil Defence) is just plain wrong – one rule for the rulers, and another for the ruled?

Well, today is the day that new “security” rules are being imposed at the Indiana State Capitol. They have added metal detectors, x-ray machines and now forbid those of us who legally carry weapons from entering our government complex. Legislators and judges are exempt from this rule, tho. Apparently those who steal massive amounts of money via taxation, legislation and imposed punitive fines are more trustworthy than the people who have paid for their license, gone through the background check and carry their weapons on a daily basis.

(emphasis mine)

By the way, pay attention to this, it should be an interesting listen – h/t Social Memory Complex
