Yes...the anti gunners have no problem telling you that you can't have a gun to protect yourself from violent criminal attack......and at the same time, they will use your money, in the form of tax dollars to surround themselves with lots of guys who carry guns...to keep them safe from violent criminal attack.....
so the message is clear...if you are a lowly vassal to a democrat politician, and you live in fear of crime....just go out and hire a detail of highly trained security operatives for your security......
right?
Anti-Gun Newsom Spends Taxpayer Millions on Armed Guards
Newsomâs exact words on Maherâs show, Real Time, were: âI just simply, this sort of mythology, the guy with the gun thatâs going to come save the day, I mean, so right out of the movies, sort of this gun-slinging fantasy. The reality is, itâs most likely to create more harm, more damage, more lost lives in those circumstances.â
Rewind a few years to Newsomâs tenure as Mayor of San Francisco. He was mayor from 2004 to 2011, and toward the end of that timeâon July 7, 2009âreports emerged that Newsom had spent âmillionsâ surrounding himself with armed security. Moreover, those âmillionsâ came out of city fundsâotherwise know as taxpayer moniesâwhich paid for the police detail from which protective services were rendered.
NBC Bay Area reported Newsomâs security spending as follows:
How much does it cost to protect the mayor of a major metropolitan city? In Los Angeles, about $450,000 a year. In Houston, about $339,00 a year. In San Francisco, anywhere between $1 and $72 million.
[On July 7, 2009] SF Appeal revealedâŚthe budget for Newsomâs personal police bodyguards comes out of the San Francisco Police Departmentâs Investigations Detail, which boasts a $72.9 million budget.
So, depending on how you look at it, Newsomâs protective detail cost at least seven figuresâmoney few average citizens would have for personal self-defense.
Then Newsom was elected to the position of Lt. Governor in 2010, and assumed that office in 2011. And the very next year, in July 2012, the Los Angles Times reported that the cost for providing security for Lt Governor Newsom was up nearly $30,000 above what it had been for his predecessor.
