Letter to the Editor: Why deny serfs' right to self-defense?

January 25, 2005
Toledo Blade

One of the bodyguards for Michael Moore, who has made millions of dollars producing movies that call for the end of private gun ownership in America, was arrested at JFK International Airport for carrying an unlicensed handgun.

Rosie O'Donnell, a spokeswoman and supporter of the notoriously anti-self defense group and horribly misnamed Million Mom March, also had a bodyguard arrested for a similar transgression of laws that both of these hypocrites support and promote.

In her defense, Rosie said that being a highly contentious, public personality makes her and her "family" far more likely to be a target of violence than an "average" citizen. No doubt Michael Moore will also come up with a similar excuse.

While I will agree that both of these self-indulgent, delusional, elitist snobs definitely make much larger targets than the average American, I am furious that they would so pompously declare their right to self defense while denying that same, God-given right to us serfs.

The woman cowering in her apartment while her estranged husband, no doubt ignoring a court-issued restraining order, kicks in her front door and kills her deserves the right to any means of self-defense available to her just as much as the hypocritical elitists in Washington and Hollywood.
