“Bill Cosby's opinion on guns in Trayvon Martin case shows hypocrisy of elites,” Gun Rights Examiner demonstrated on Monday, juxtaposing the comedian and actor’s condemnation of citizens carrying guns against reports that he had obtained one of New York City's rare concealed carry permits, conspicuously awarded to the well-heeled and connected.
That news did not bother the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, founded as the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. The Days of Our Trailers blog posted a Twitter exchange between CSGV and the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.
“No, because he’s a celebrity, he’s far more likely to have stalkers & other people actively trying to do him harm. Documented threats,” the gungrabbers replied.
They make this assertion with no supporting evidence of any threat to Cosby other than undefined risks of fame, despite the fact that celebrities don’t even register on the scale for “most dangerous jobs in America,” but taxi drivers do. That’s no surprise to longtime observers of the brainless, cavalier way anti-defense zealots shrug off reality. Nor is the fact that they once more contradict their own public policy recommendations, to wit, their fanatical adherance to the state monopoly of violence doctrine. We now have those who wish to ban handguns to all but state actors welcoming celebrities into the ranks of the exalted.
That the left embraces media figures who are exploitable for their various subversive causes is also no surprise. Somehow, the demand to eat the rich gives a pass to useful idiot celebrities—it does not seem to occur to actress Olivia Wilde that she occupies the top of the 1% as she stumps for solidarity with the cop car-crappers.

Or force you to keep yours hidden.
Great. I’ll buy a few guns, join the NRA, and support Second Amendment rights. And there’s nothing these little whiners can do about it.
Some animals are more equal than others.
Cosby has a carry permit ?
Why have you not already? No free riders, thank you.
I’ll bet Cosby wishes his son had been carrying back in 1997.
Thats exactly right. The Big Lie is liberals dont like/have guns. As you correctly said they don’t like YOU to have guns. Its OK for them b/c they’re morally, ethically etc superior and as such have the imperative to rule over you by force if necessary. There are many many liberals who own guns and they’d be the first ones to use them in a criminal cause. What gets pumped thru the media about guns is so much projection.
I’d bet dollars to doughnut holes that Bill Cosby has armed bodyguards that he intends to keep.
