Really, you can apply this argument to most of the leading gun grabbers, who so often either have their own firearm or armed security
WATCH: Bloomberg Tries to Defend Using Armed Guards While Pushing Gun Control
An attendee at the March 2, 2020, Fox News town hall asked Mike Bloomberg why he pushes gun control for the common man but surrounds himself with armed security.
The attendee said, “You have an armed security detail that is likely equipped with the same firearms and magazines you seek to ban the common citizen from owning. Does your life matter more than mine or my family’s?â€
Bloomberg responded by admitting to having an armed detail, and suggesting he needs armed protection because he gets more threats than the common man.
On February 3, 2020, Breitbart News reported that Bloomberg enjoyed armed security even as he campaigned on a platform of gun control for the common man.
The New York Post reported on Bloomberg referring to the NYPD as his “own army,†while Mayor of New York City. And on January 25, 2019, NRA-ILA reported that after his tenure as mayor ended, “Bloomberg hired some of the same [NYPD] officers from his security detail to work for him privately.†Yet he continued to push gun control for average Americans.

Bloomberg is the man behind Mom’s Demand and Everytown, groups that want way more than just expanded background checks. They want to turn the whole country into NJ and California and NYC, to have “universal background checks” which require firearms registration, to tax the hell out of firearms and ammunition, the current 4th Amendment violating Red Flag laws, and then to keep going, right up to what New Zealand has just done, which is ban most firearms from private ownership.
Of course, the Big Wigs like Mike would still have armed security, along with those gun grabbers like Alyssa Milano, who would be allowed to keep their own sem-auto pistols. Politicians and such would have the benefit of government armed security, typically carrying weapons that are already banned from private ownership right now.
Of course, Nanny Mike’s chances of being the Democrat nominee are about the same as you getting that $50,000 payoff from that lottery scratchoff. But, he pretty much wants the same as all the others. Sleepy Joe has long pushed this stuff, yet has had his own Secret Service armed protection for a long, long time. His plan is pretty extreme, including registration or buy back, bans, licensing, and so much more. Comrade Bernie’s plan is almost the same. The rest of the Dems still in, but with no shot, have plans that all look almost the same, because they are all coming from the same place, and like Obamacare is a step towards a government run health system, these plans are steps towards the New Zealand solution for guns.
