Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson criticized regarding gun control?

Mayor Brandon Johnson is criticized for advocating for strict firearm bans for citizens while simultaneously being protected by a large, armed security detail of 150 officers, costing taxpayers $30 million annually. This is seen as a double standard where politicians have armed protection but restrict public access to firearms.

What is the argument against calling AR-15s 'weapons of war'?

Justice Clarence Thomas has stated that the AR-15 is a civilian weapon, not a military one. He noted that no army in the world uses a service rifle that is only semi-automatic, challenging the 'weapon of war' classification used by some politicians.

Does the government have a legal duty to protect citizens?

According to the Supreme Court case Castle Rock v. Gonzalez, the government and police are not legally obligated to protect individual citizens. This ruling is cited to highlight the contrast with the extensive protection provided to public officials.

What is the 'guns for me, not for thee' argument?

The 'guns for me, not for thee' argument suggests that politicians and public figures who advocate for gun control for the general population often surround themselves with armed security personnel who carry firearms, including those they seek to ban for others.
