Media Matters Calls for Gun Control, Carries Illegal Guns to Protect Its Founder

Gun control isn’t about banning guns, it’s about banning people who aren’t well-connected from having guns. If you’re a Wal-Mart shopper then you’re not supposed to have a gun. If you’re David Brock, then that’s a whole other story… A staffer at left-wing Media Matters for America committed numerous felonies in the District of Columbia and around the country by carrying a firearm to defend the organization’s founder, David Brock, The Daily Caller has learned.

-SNIP-TheDC has learned that by that time, Brock had armed his assistant — who had no permit to carry a concealed firearm — with a Glock handgun.

According to an internal email exchange obtained by TheDC, the gun was purchased with cash in Maryland, likely to diminish the chances such a purchase would appear on the tax-exempt group’s books.

Old story by now, I guess. The problem isn't guns - its serfs having guns.

Anyone in the power elite has the right to any amount of heavily armed protection. Otherwise, they might have to be in some way accountable for their actions.

Guns can be used to hunt and put meat on the table. A gun can be used to save your life in a dangerous incident. Shooting a gun improves your eye-hand coordination. You can sell a gun to make money. Now, let’s take a look at the entertainment industry. When you pay $10 to watch a Sean Penn movie, what do you get for that money? You rent a movie seat for an hour and a half to watch light flicker on a wall. That’s it. When you watch Wooden Harrelson on TV for a half hour, what do you get for the money you paid the cable company. Can you sell it? Can you eat it? Does it help you in any way? How about a Barbara Streisand song? What do you have when you’re done listening to her yowl? Besides a headache? Anything lasting? Do your kids want your collection of Barbara Streisand 8 track tapes? Nope. Ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing worthwhile or redeeming in the entertainment industry, yet, they incite others to violence. Guns have purpose and value. The entertainment industry makes billions and provides nothing. It’s time to outlaw movies and TV and the record industry. They are charlatans and con men.

Instead of breaking this story why didn’t they just turn him in and get him arrested. That would have been a story and would have left a permanent mark.
