No Guns Around the Pope

When the Pope came to Philadelphia, they BANNED GUNS anywhere around him. Of course, that's unconstitutional, but they don't care. It will be all over before any case can be brought before the Supreme court, or any “inferior court,” so they'll get away with it. It's that old saw, “Better to ask for forgiveness later than ask permission now and be refused.” Especially since there's no punishment designated in the Constitution for violating it, except for reversal of the violation, if possible. In this case, it's NOT possible. But did they really think that if anybody decided to shoot the Pope, their “rules” would have stopped him from having a gun in the Pope's presence? Of course, there were a lot of guns around the Pope (at least 11,not counting the cops). They were all carried by his security and all the cops running interference. As usual, “the authorities” deny us “peons” the right to self-defense while ALLOWING it to “dignitaries,” who can well afford to HIRE their own guns and men to carry them, so they don't have to. And, of course, they have armed cops right there to take care of anybody who wants to shoot the Pope. Something us “peons” don't have, as a rule. This is one of the best examples of that “double standard.” (The Truth About Guns)
