Those whose lives are more important than yours or mine are taking steps to heighten their safety and security.
Our news media in recent weeks have carried, tucked away in their obscure spots, numerous reports of how public officials have increased their armed security forces and even taken steps to arm themselves. California legislators, to mention just one of the numerous available examples of this trend, are arming the sergeants at arms in their legislative chambers and seeking to be able to carry arms in the state capitol themselves.
One cannot help but wonder about the extent to which this is due to their harboring, deep down and perhaps even at an unconscious level, a fearful recognition that they deserve retribution from the people they have been fleecing for so many years.
The breathtaking hypocrisy in this is that our rulers are doing this while continuing to make it difficult or impossible for ordinary citizens to keep and bear arms to defend themselves.
