Armed Police Protection for Kamala Harris, the Height of Elitist Hypocrisy

If it were up to Harris and her useful idiot followers, they’d all be illegal except for the guns carried by state enforcers. (KamalaHarris/Facebook)

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “Armed, plain-clothes LAPD officers were dispatched to California cities outside of Los Angeles at least a dozen times to provide security for U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris at public events, media appearances, and a party,” NBC Los Angeles reports. “The LAPD routinely provides security for dignitaries and officials visiting LA, but a senior retired department official said the courtesy extended to Sen. Harris for her travels to other cities was unprecedented.”

What’s not unprecedented are gun-grabbing politicians who would deny you the right to protect yourself and your family while using tax plunder to make sure their safety is taken care of. Their security detachments can even go armed in so-called “gun-free zones.” At least they have that in common with private criminals.

And Harris is such a hypocrite. And a lying one at that.

“This cannot be a political issue,” she tweeted disingenuously after Parkland, not bothering to explain why she insists on making it one. “We have to have smart gun safety laws – our babies are being slaughtered.”

And what gun safety laws does she consider “smart”?

First of all, forget allowing teachers to make the choice to arm and protect themselves. Harris tried to shoot that plan down by pointing out “trained law enforcement officials, they only hit of their intended target approximately 20 percent of the time,” making it fair to ask if that means her armed security detail poses an 80% danger to the public.

Harris supports “further restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.” She’s trying to “export California gun control to the nation.” She used “dirty tactics” in the Peruta case to fight the right of all Americans (except for enforcers) to bear arms. And naturally she doesn’t want you to be able to possess “common defense” firearms consistent with the intent of the Second Amendment.

But the guys you pay for who are protecting her, the “Only Ones,” can have it all. And more.

But no fair, some will argue. She’s an important politician. That makes her more of a target than “ordinary” people.

Let’s forget the congressmen killed in duels. It’s been half a century since Robert F. Kennedy, the last U.S. Senator was assassinated, and the one before him, Huey Long, was shot to death in 1935, presumably by his own bodyguards.

As far as the most dangerous jobs in America, “politician” doesn’t make it anywhere near the top 25, all of whom, aside from law enforcement officers, Harris demands be disarmed.

Here’s the thing – reasonable people can agree that some politicians, especially high-profile ones, can require extraordinary protection for situations regular constituents are not likely to encounter—the crazy, violent Bernie supporter who shot up Republican congressmen at the baseball practice, or the nutjob “progressive” #MarchForOurLives supporter arrested for trying to stab a congressman the other day come to mind.

By the same token, Kamala Harris is unlikely to be subjected to the myriad dangers ordinary citizens face. It’s doubtful she’ll ever have some reptile stick a gun in her face at a convenience store, or live in a dangerous neighborhood overrun by gangs, or be the victim of a home invasion, or be raped and slaughtered just because some animal feels like doing it to her. Yet she would prevent every one of those potential victims from protecting themselves.

She would prevent you if you let her.

When it comes to all of the Vets in this country, it is a disgrace that they have so much trouble getting quality medical treatment, but letting illegals come in and our government falls all over them and provides any service to them no problem! I do not take any of the volunteer work that is done for our Vets, but it sure shows just how much the short comings of our government to providing care for our Vets that have put their lives on the line to defend our country and our way of life! But let an illegal… Read more »

A B another fine view about police in general, there are good and bad in all walks of life, but you choose to put all police in the bad group with a scum-bag politician, try walking in a police officer’s shoes for a week, maybe you might see their profession in a different light!!!!!!!! But then you probably don’t have the gonads to do that!!!!!!!!

Andy Buckmichael

She would have made a great cop She is already scum.

It would appear that that is pretty much the case, the lives of elected things seem to be of greater importance than are the lives of the electorate.

Okay here we go now we have to break down the Demo-Rats that keep trying to take away our 2nd amendment rights, and the Anti-Abortion gang; No body wants to put them together but they have the same end result, the Demo-Rats always say that Guns kill children/Abortion kills children Who is the biggest offender? Guns or Planed Parenthood? WHAT IS THE PRICE OF A CHILDS LIFE? Same question, WHO DOES MORE and why won’t anybody answer that question?

James

any one with a lick of REAL SENSE, WOULD SAY PLANNED MURDER HOOD IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE UNBORN.
but COMMUNIST DEMORAT SUPPORT THEM. and every OTHER INSANE CRAP.
and COMMUNIST DEMORATS ARE ALSO THE BIGGEST THREAT TO ALL AMERICANS.

Joe Gardiner

They support killing the unborn, knowing that planned parenthood was started by the racist Margaret Sanger who wanted to exterminate the black race through abortion. They also hate the NRA which was started to protect the 2nd Amendment rights of blacks that the Dems were trying to remove. They are the REAL racist party and prove it every day.

Grim

This is a firearms forum!

Wild Bill ,I very much intend to vote and take on any Demo-Rat that wants to support Planned Parenthood selective Abortions, also the Politicians that will not answer my main question about why nothing has been done to secure our schools as T S A has done for our Airports, WHAT IS THE PRICE OF A CHILDS LIFE?????? NOT OF ANY POLITICIANS WILL ANSWER IT!!!!!!!! They will only answer with a line of B S and do nothing about it!!! All the Demo-Rats want is to take away our 2nd amendment rights period, nothing less!!!!

Alan

Strikes me as sad that the gun rights argument, and this Pro Life/Anti Abortion business seem to keep coming up, tangeled together, when the two issues have no legitimate relationship. Speaking for myself, I am, have been and intend to remain PRO GUN/PRO GUN RIGHTS. As for this pro life/anti abortion business, since I’m a HE, rather than a SHE, there is no now way that I’m going to become pregnant. That said, I would not presume to dictate what a woman might or might not do with her own body. Additionally, and I submit that correspondents here might think… Read more »

Why isn’t this ignorant, lying twit doing something to stop the real babies being slaughtered – by Planned Parenthood? Someone should have called her on her hypocrisy right then and there, and asked her how much Planned Parenthood has donated to her.

@Billy d, I like your enthusiasm! Vote in November, take the family with you!

Alan

One might note that given the fact that California voters elected her, they deserve her. Sad to note though, the rest of the nation deserved better.

Robert Hartwig

No it was the illegal aliens who voted for her. If the truth were known I would bet that as high as 30-40 of illegals vote for DemocRAT candidates in the State of Californication..

Alan

So regarding the problem, real or imagined, caused by votes cast by non U.S. Citizens, illegal aliens or otherwise, action that one thinks would violate federal law, what are the mavens of the FBI for instance, DOJ for another, doing about it?

Robert Hartwig

There have been attempts to require ID checks at the polls but the DAMOCRATS have blocked these at every turn. Aided by the ACLU and liberal judges they have turned this back by claiming poor people don’t have access to ID’s.

Wild Bill

@Robt H, The only thing that is going to save us is if we can get more people to vote than the SocDems, and their legions of dead, brain dead, and illegals.
Throw a barbecue on November 6 for your friends that go to the polls. Drag your family down to vote with you. This next sentence is heresy: don’t go hunting that day, go to vote!

Is explanation really neccessary? Goes like this….because she is a public figure to whom some hold very strong oppositions to, she could very possibly be targeted by those who wish to do her harm. Me? Not so much. I dont need security. See the difference? One can be smart and know that every situation is not the same or one can have a thick skull and pretend like it is for politic arguments.

Country Boy

Something for you to think about.

The same crazies in our country that would do harm to her, would not hesitate to do the same to you. If it’s dangerous for her, it’s just as dangerous for us, or maybe… more so.

Think about that for a minute.

GomeznSA

Good words Country Boy. Something else for them ‘pollytishuns’ to keep in mind – they were elected to serve the people and do their will, not to grandstand (yep that is directed to booker) and self serve. Plus, they fail to realize that someone else, possibly (actually likely) even MORE capable of representing the people can and will fill her void if she departs. Even juan mcamnesty has already been replaced…………..

So are you saying her life is worth more than yours? Her death or harm coming to her would be more hurtful and painful than if it were to happen to you?

Kathleen Brieske

Are you serious? It’s the new age of Trump and the false rhetoric he speed out everyday claiming Dems. want your guns. We want common sense gun laws. That’s common sense. Who needs military type weapons? Why can’t there be background checks? The 2nd amendment was designed before we had a military so it fell to individuals to protect themselves from the dangers then of any overthrow of government. A new nation becoming independent of British rule. A fragile time. The founding fathers couldn’t see the weapons of the future. Where they were looking at muskets then, they couldn’t possibly… Read more »

@KB, There are no common sense gun laws. The founders preempted future Congresses from making any laws that infringe on the keeping and carrying of firearms. The Fourteenth Amendment preempts the state legislatures from such action. Read your Constitution and cases.

Wake up Kathleen. The democrats have stopped hiding the fact they want all guns taken away from the public sector. Please define ‘common sense’ gun laws for us all to understand . That phrasing has been made part of the lexicon by the media with no explanation of what it means. There are over 20,000 laws on the books that regulate weapons, none implemented anywhere, at any time in history or in any country around the world has proven to be effective in ending mans inherent violence. It’s not the weapon, it’s the person wielding it. Please describe military weapons… Read more »

Rich in Mo.

Kathleen I agree, we need “common sense” gun laws. Concealed carry reciprocity, allowing those that have been vetted to carry in all 50 states, is a must. Why should crossing an imaginary state line force me to be defenseless? Let’s remove silencers from the burden of a $200 tax stamp and months long wait. Hearing protection is important! “Gun-free zones” are lunacy, remove those except where armed guards are present. Glad you’re on board with common sense, as all those suggestions are; see you on the gun range!

Kathleen I am sorry your girl lost, maybe next time.

KB,
You know nothing about what you are saying. Why is this subject so stuck on the liberals mind. I will tell you, They want all guns taken so they can make us part of the new world order the UN has been trying to get. I will not stand for th UN to tell me what to do with my life. Trump is doing what we elected him to do. Drain the swamp, and build the wall to keep out the the filth of the world.

Please review the History on gun laws. The first in this nation forbade Blacks from having guns to prevent them killing their slave owners. Thereby becoming free. The Sullivan Act in New York was to prevent common (Irish Immigrants)people from owning guns to protect themselves from the corrupt Tammany Hall Politicians and their thugs. After the Civil War The Klan got laws passed to keep blacks from owning guns. It seems that the white sheets they wore while burning crosses on Black family’s from yards made too good a target. Read the history of gun control laws passed in Nazi… Read more »

Old Lefty

Actually Tammany Hall was an Irish organization originally called the St. Tammany Society. It was a Democratic Party organization organized to provide political clout to recent Irish Immigrants. The Sullivan Act — and by the way, Sullivan is about as Irish a name as you can get — was passed to keep the Italian and Jewish criminal gangs from having firearms. (Actually those were not the sobriquet the Irish used when referring to the Italians and Jews, but this is a family web site) PLEASE TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE, Tammany Hall was a Democratic political organization although it originally started out… Read more »

Robert Hartwig

It has been a long while since I have looked into New York Politics. You were right about Tammany Hall being Irish and Democratic party run. But I was correct in my assertion that it was law aimed at an ethnic minorities. Gun laws are always used for People Control not crime control. Tammany Hall was a corrupt DemocRat criminal organization that sold political favors and in some cases had rivals killed. The true Mass Murders have and always will be Politicians and Governments.

Country Boy

Also your knowledge (read lack thereof) of the type of firearms available in the 1700s and 1800s also leaves much to be desired. Wasn’t it Ben Franklin that made the discovery that lightening is electricity? I guess he didn’t see progress was to be made there either…right? WRONG. The Forefathers were some of the most intelligent men of their time. They knew great advances would be made in the future concerning firearms. They were already starting to see progress made AAMOF.

two realities of life, among others:

-the only ones fearing a gun owner are those who would do the gun owner harm, and

-only fools, knaves, jokers and ignoramuses deny this fact of history.

Willie would make the 90 mile drive from Sacramento to San Fran every Friday night to strengthen his political hold on the state. This went on for years and she was developed into his clone, sex excluded of course.

It’s all about power, influence and money. We had a political candidate here spend $75,000 to get a seat on the local airport authority which pays only $7,000 per year in salary. Why would she do that? To feed her ego and become (in her own mind) an elitist, to make contacts that will allow her to network with people throwing money around, and to position herself to receive money in the future. These elitists have their own personal agendas and that doesn’t include any concern for the common man/woman.
