Guard of Chucky - New

Guard of Chucky - New York Senator Charles Schumer is one of the leading voices in the Senate speaking for the constriction of the citizen's right to own firearms, and defend their families and properties.

Naturally, he has an armed guard:

Questions arose Wednesday morning about the gun opponent's security arrangements after the New York Post's Cindy Adams mentioned in her column that Schumer appeared at a recent event with a bodyguard in tow.

A quick call to Schumer's office confirmed that the man guarding the Senate's number one gun controller was packing heat.

"He's a New York police detective," the Senator's spokesman revealed to NewsMax. When asked whether Schumer's detective was indeed armed, the spokesman replied, "I would imagine so."

Just so nobody misses this: Senator Schumer doesn't think that you, the citizen, deserve to protect yourself. However, being a Senator, his life is of incalculable worth, and worth defending with lethal force.

Got that?

This part is rich:

Sensing a public relations problem in the making, the Senator's spokesman explained that his boss "believes in the second amendment and the right to bear arms."

"So I don't think there's anything inconsistent about it," he insisted.

It's consistent in the same way that giving black Legislators the right to vote, while stonewalling it for black citizens, is "supporting the Fourteenth Amendment".
