We have seen commercial after commercial of Hollywood actors slamming guns and gun owners and pushing for more gun control laws. But apparently they only want the general public to be defenseless.
The same guns they want to be banned are the ones that were used to protect them during the Golden Globes.
According to HollywoodReporter.com security was beefed up this year:
There was a major security presence this year.
In the wake of the recent Paris and San Bernardino terrorist attacks, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association wasn’t taking any chances. It moved the entry-point for those arriving at the Globes and the after-parties from the Wilshire Blvd. side of the Hilton to a Century City parking lot, where guests had to pass through security checks before boarding shuttles over to the top of the red carpet. The change did not go smoothly: some experienced waits of as long as two hours from arriving at the parking lot to arriving at the red carpet. FBI agents were among the law enforcement officers protecting the event, and at the Hilton there were numerous people wearing body armor and headsets patrolling the halls with AR-15 semi-automatic rifles.
And then there was this Tweet from award columnist Scott Feinberg who got a picture of one of the armed guards at the hotel:
The security inside the Beverly Hilton is right out of ZERO DARK THIRTY. Never seen anything like this before. pic.twitter.com/Fx3PTFVowo

More desensitizing to the reality of a police state.
Or another strong example of the complete hypocrisy they live in.
Your choice 🙂
Perfect example of the ‘haves and the have nots’. Those with the riches and wealth can have protection, but those of us on the poor side of life get told we can’t have protection and people in power are trying to see to that by trying to get laws enacted to take away our rights.
What is so hard to figure out about more laws not solving the problems? The criminals don’t adhere to the laws we have… if they did, they wouldn’t be criminals. By taking away the law-abiding citizens’ rights to own guns to protect themselves, the criminals are given a wide open door to just do what they want because they know the law- abiding citizen won’t be able to defend himself because he is obeying the law that says he can’t have a gun. Now how is that even remotely smart or fair? Criminals will always get guns somehow to do harm, but the good guys are mandated to not protect themselves or anyone else?
Pretty crappy society that thinks the only people’s lives that are important enough to protect ate politicians and movie stars. Without the rest of us, there would be no need fur politics or movies!!
Wise up, people…
