Establish a Gun Free Zone around the President; Send Secret Service Home (Petition)
Gun Watch ^ | 26 December, 2012 | Dean Weingarten

Posted on 12/27/2012 10:25:38 AM PST by marktwain

In a brilliant act of political satire, someone has created a petition to the white house here to create a gun free zone around the President and Vice President. All guns would be eliminated there, and the Secret Service would not have any.

If it is good enough for our children, It is good enough for the president, the logic goes.

I am constantly amazed that people are perfectly comfortable around someone with a gun, if the person is wearing a uniform. Remove the uniform, and the same people become very uncomfortable.

Link to Petition

(The number tripled in the last 24 hours to 3,000)


TOPICS: Government; History; Politics; Society

How about requiring Obama and Biden to pay for their SS protection out of their own salaries for their families?

But Obama believes he is entitled to every thing he wants!

I can hear his whining now. Love the idea! But he can’t afford to pay for it.

I haven’t read the petition but it needs to include the congressional critters and all upper level cabinet members and the Supreme Court justices in its proposed gun free zones.

And make the use of armed bodyguards by celebrities, politicians and bureaucrats against the law.

If we the people, who are paying for all the crap they inflict on us, can’t defend ourselves, then neither can the useless elites infesting this country.

Up to 3510. Started off slow, but it is snowballing.

Thanks for posting. The “someone” was me, and the petition got off the ground with the help of freepers. Here is the original post on this petition:

Now over 5,000 and growing fast.

That is about 1,500 in the last 7 hours.

Now over 8,220. So close to 1/3 the way there, it hardly matters... in only three days after making the initial 150. This is going over the top.
