Security Guard Fail
Some of our contentious pro-gun commenters recently tried to say security guards are in the same category as cops as opposed to civilian gun owners.
I don't think so. The obvious dividing line is police and military on one side and security guards and civilian gun owners on the other.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.

When I first saw this video, I had to go looking because I had to wonder who it is too. And I had never heard of him because he's a rapper. And the video I watched mentioned that they're having a difference of opinion with some gang members.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to speak on tactics, in the video I watched, the police did respond, and apparently didn't hook anyone up. Sometimes, just as with police, security guards can think too much of themselves.
Lies, again, Mikeb? I said that a license for a security guard is a different kind of license from what an ordinary citizen gets. Remember that Chicago politician who got to carry when Illinois was a no-carry state because he claimed to be a security guard?
ReplyDeleteI don't know that all states treat these as separate classes, but I've seen it named as such in several states.
My opinion is this guy shouldn't be allowed near a video editor.
ReplyDeleteRe your question: military on one side, civilian on the other, with police and security in the middle. Lumping police with military is especially a disaster . Your dividing line is more inscrutable than obvious. ???
Moon, I think, is the one who said security guards were part of the "only ones." That's what I'm disputing with this post.
ReplyDelete"Only Ones" is a nebulous term that covers the groups that gun controllers, broadly, want to allow to keep having guns. Many gun controllers have no problem with armed security guards for themselves. You may not approve, but they are part of the group that many within the gun control community think have a legitimate "need" that justifies allowing them to be armed.
DeleteRemove the word "obvious" from this post and substitute "arbitrary", and you've got a perfectly truthful statement. I should note that this would be an unusual occurrence on this blog.

When I write that something is obvious, I mean obvious to me. How can that be untruthful? It's my opinion?
DeleteMikeb, when you distort words far outside their accepted definitions and do so willfully and knowingly, that makes it hard to believe anything you say. You've been shown how security guards are a different class from ordinary citizens, but facts don't matter to you.
DeleteReplace "truthful" with "factual"...
