Trump aides urged to get a gun

Facing a new wave of potentially dangerous threats, called for by a top Democratic lawmaker, legal and gun experts are calling on top Trump aides to get their concealed carry permit and back it up with a pistol.

"There are simply not enough police in D.C. or Virginia or Maryland to protect all Trump officials at their homes and when they go out to restaurants. Getting a concealed handgun permit would be helpful to protect themselves and their family,” said John R. Lott Jr., president of the influential Crime Prevention Research Center.

“High level officials in the Trump administration, especially if their faces are likely to be recognized by many in the public as a result of appearances on TV, might want to consider applying for a license to carry a concealed weapon in the District of Columbia, and/or other states they frequent, in view of the call by Rep. Maxine Waters for the public to ‘absolutely harass’ these officials in public places, and other recent events indicating the increased danger they are in,” added public interest law professor John Banzhaf.

The government should provide firearms and situational training, as well as provide the appropriate weapons. Quantico is just down the road and has excellent facilities and trainers.

If they are not carrying large amounts of cash to the bank for deposits and have a history of receipts to prove it, they will be denied a permit to carry.

Merely protecting your life and the lives of your family is no reason in Maryland to get a permit.

That's written in the rules.

Life is worthless, but money isn't in Maryland.

Hogan, want to chime in here? You're up for re-election soon!

ANTIFA Wicomico members have made many threats in recent weeks and it would be prudent for every citizen they hate to get a gun. This includes Trump supporters, White men, Republicans, candidates for local office, old white Democrats and candidates for local state seats with Republican incumbents.

ANTIFA Wicomico includes Jamaad Gould, James Yamakawa, Amber Green, Jake Day, Jake Burdett, Jared Schablein, Earle Hatton, Kirkland Hall, Michele Gregory, Michael Feldman, Josh Hastings, Dan O'Hare and quite a few others. These are the ones that are dangerous because they are trying to take over county politics.

Some of these idiots are running for office and no matter what your party is, Democrat or Republican, you would be foolish to vote for them. Although they are on the ticket as Democrats, they don't identify as Democrats, they identify are Progressives and they are talking about bringing civil war to the streets.

Do not vote for them!!

You nailed it.

They stockpile arms and the greatest military tech available.

WHO do YOU think they are planning on using against?

The Russian invaders?

Damn right we are stockpiling arms. And night vision equipment. And infrared scopes. And armor penetrating rounds. And other things that will remain unmentioned so I don't get put on ANOTHER list by one of you scared of the dark little sissy anti-American bitc**s.
The Founding Fathers of the greatest nation to have EVER BEEN CREATED told us to do do that and be ready to take action. We are a lot more ready than YOU, bet your life on it. Literally.
We can all tell YOU are MUCH smarter and more worldly than they, the Founders, could ever hope to be.

I made that last part up, Liberace.

9:13 it is not murder, it is called defending yourself from an attack. Someone gets in your face and is screaming at you, that is an attack.

I really wish you Hillary supporters wouldn't follow this blog!
