Do as I Say...Not as I Do.. (gun control)

The Hypocrisy of the Politicians

Enhanced firepower sought to fend off ‘radiological sabotage’ at nuclear sites

quote:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is moving forward with plans to outfit security guards protecting spent fuel storage sites at power plants with machine guns and other high-capacity weapons. A supplemental proposed rule to be published Thursday in the Federal Register amends a 2011 regulation giving personnel at the sites “an expanded arsenal of weapons, including machine guns and semi-automatic, large capacity, assault weapons.”

So let's examine this for a moment, shall we? Terrorists groups have openly threatened to attack malls, stadiums, churches, synagogues, and schools, and to run down people on the streets with large vehicles. What does the general public get for protection? Gun free zones, politicians stating that the NRA recommendation for training and arming school personnel is ridiculous, and an attempt to disarm the law abiding citizens who occupy these places with their families by trying to push through an 'assault weapons' ban, large capacity magazine ban, and the threat of a sweeping weapons confiscation. Are the same gun free zones that are good enough for schools and malls, not good enough for these storage facilities as well?

When there is a perceived threat at a government monitored facility, they immediately propose to increase the lethality of the armament substantially by increasing the firepower without blinking an eye. Meanwhile Americans get an unarmed mall cop and a gun free zone, even though the same terrorist groups (with their same weaponry) who are a threat to these storage facilities, are also a threat to the general public and the places that they and their families frequent regularly. Are the readers not feeling the love here?
