Just remember when these liberal elites say they want gun control , they just mean they want it for the little people .
Too bad we can’t all afford our own $20 million mansions and hire over 10 armed guards .




NBA star and gun control proponent LeBron James is critical of private citizens carrying guns for self-defense, but employs “at least 10 armed security personnel” at his home for defense of himself and his family.

LeBron James has the most repulsive personality in the NBA, and he knows it, so security is very important to him.

Of course. What's "good" for the rest of us, is not necessarily what they will accept in their own lives.

Most people who are pro gun control are fine with people with clean records having registered guns, and fine with trained professionals carrying firearms on duty. I have no idea about LeBron James's political views, nor do I reall care, but the notion that pro-gun control means anti-gun is largely a strawman.

I heard years ago that Bill Gates did NOT allow armed security at his house. That is something to admire and respect. I don't know if it is still true. Gates has donated very generously to gun safety efforts, including the current I-1639 to regulate assault-style weapons in Washington state.

One thing about these super-wealthy people to consider is that they are targets for kidnappings and ensuing blackmail. The average person is NOT, and therefore has no need for a gun.
