"Eliminate armed guards for the President, Vice-President, and their families, and establish Gun Free Zones around them" *

 

     Seems like a reasonable request--as the old saying goes; "What's good for the goose is good for the gander."  

     The website, powerlineblog.com headlines the following proposition with a request for readers to.....

"Sign the Petition: Make the White House a Gun-Free Zone!"

     The article goes on to pitch it's case for these so-called elites to follow the same rules they think are reasonable for you and your family,

        "Gun Free Zones are supposed to protect our children, and some politicians wish to strip us of our right to keep and bear arms. Those same politicians and their families are currently under the protection of armed Secret Service agents. If Gun Free Zones are sufficient protection for our children, then Gun Free Zones should be good enough for politicians."

     As of today (Saturday) the petition reportedly had nearly 18,000 signatures.
