Gun Control Politicians: It’s Not Me, It’s You

There’s a big gap between what the progressive elite preaches as their “transformative vision of public safety” for you and me, and what many of them see as appropriate for their special selves.

We’ve noted before that Chicago’s anti-gun Mayor Lori Lightfoot is protected by Unit 544, a special police security detail of approximately 71 officers, in addition to the mayor’s existing “separate personal bodyguard detail” of 20 officers.

According to the mayor, the personal police force is necessary because, at the time the unit was created in 2020, there was “a significant amount of protests all over the city, and some of them targeted my house.”
