Armed Bankers in NYC?

It has come to light that many in upper management of a number of big banks, headquartered in NYC, have recently applied for, and have been granted, permits to purchase pistols. Understandably, banks themselves, along with NYPD, are deathly quiet about this curious development, because the vast majority of other such applications (from non-bankers) are routinely, arbitrarily denied.

This gaggle of brand-new pistol owners are the self-same Liberals who unflinchingly support the current NYC Mayor in his rabid effort to ban private ownership of all guns, nationwide!

Looks as if gun-bans are appropriate for everyone, except them!

This is the kind of shameful, conspicuous hypocrisy of which all anti-gun Liberals are habitually guilty. When bankers can have guns, why not butchers, bakers, etc? Why is it that bankers suddenly comprise a "special class of citizens," along with the mayor's friends, movie stars, professional athletes, rich drug-dealers, et al?

Liberal politicians in NYC, and elsewhere, have taken what is supposed to be an "inalienable right" of all citizens and turned it into a tightly-controlled political privilege, to be enjoyed exclusively by a select group of conceited, self-declared divinity!

On rare occasions when the media even brings up this glaring discrepancy, guilty politicians are silent. They don't think they owe anyone an explanation, their definition of "transparency."

I can't imagine why people put up with it!
