Eliminate armed guards for the President, Vice-President, and their families, and establish Gun Free Zones around them

[Guest Razz]

"Gun Free Zones are supposed to protect our children, and some politicians wish to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms. Those same politicians and their families are currently under the protection of armed Secret Service agents. If Gun Free Zones are sufficient protection for our children, then Gun Free Zones should be good enough for politicians."

Nice. Won't happen, obviously. But nice.

Will these pointless petitions ever stop.... :rolleyes:

[Guest 6.8 AR]

The petitions are just a barometer for what the propaganda machine is doing. I'll bet they love every one of these petitions.

I can just see some underpaid White House desk monkey seeing these and laughing his butt off. Then pressing the delete button.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I can, too. David Axelredo is probably getting a kick out of them, knowing he has the American dander up. They

might not want to see it when the dog's hackles get raised, though.

I posted this for the comic value. Lighten up, guys.

I agree but the White House via the desk monkey is supposed to provide an official statement if the petition if it gets the minimum 25,000 required votes...and then delete it.

I thought it was pretty funny.  Useless, but funny.

Actually isn't there a certain radius around the Pres, VP and most elected officials that is in effect a gun free zone? I don't see too many John Q Public's OCing around the mayor or the Pres or a Congress Critter.
