Considering the acerage they have to guard, they probably have rifles anyway.

Really?  Or you just setting a hook for me.

My point is: Liberals view that if they're rich, or famous, hand guns are fine. If you're not rich or famous, well then, peasant, you should not be trusted with them.

I have no idea. I don't know if he even has bodyguards. Just seemed like a viable non-lethal personal protection device.

Hmmm... Bodyguards? To protect him from violent republicans?

Is there such a thing?

He does, watched a older segment on the Daily show off his website, click the on the video link called "Moore money, Moore problems" here (http://www.comedycentral.com/tv_shows/thedailyshowwithjonstewart/videos_corr.jhtml).  Notice the guy in the background during the Moore press conference behind the flag.

Don't change the subject :)   Do you think he has armed body guards?

I have to believe that they aren't armed. Otherwise, how could they resist shooting him? ;)

I have never seen an anti gun celebrity that was oppossed to haveing hevily armed bodyguards.

This fits in with their "everyone else is too stupid" and "we are the elite" thinking.

This is the best question I have seen rip come up with in 2 years. Hard to believe he came up with it acctually. I didnt think there was an original thought neuron left in that melon of his.

Actually that is lazs' point...and he has made the peasant crack over and over again.

But, the question you raise is a quite a good one, I have to admit.

As a left leaning gun owner, I would dissagree Rip. I'm not rich nor famous and I own quite a few handguns as well as long guns. Nobody has challenged my ownership of either.

Making blanket smears like this shows the influence that freeperville has on your reasoning....IMO.

Rosie is the best example I can think of.

 "I don't care if you think it's your right. I say: Sorry, it's 1999. We have had enough as a nation. You are not allowed to own a gun, and if you do own a gun I think you should go to prison."

--Rosie O'Donnell


Then it was discovered her personal bodyguards, and the bodyguard who watches over her kid at school, are armed.

Yes he is...:lol read on.. (http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel040403.asp)

But Moore's connection to the NRA is bizarre; he told Tim Russert that he joined the group so that he could be elected its president and make it support gun control. This is aggrandized self-delusion, rather like Barbra Streisand announcing that she was becoming Catholic so that she could be elected Pope and make the Church support polygamy.

He also said he had joined when he was 12.  Kinda makes you look like you don't know a joke when you see one huh?

mt... he was probly smarter at age twelve.   You do know that the NRA sells lifetime memberships right?   In the movie bowling he tells Heston that he is a lifetime member.    If he was a lifetime member at 12 then my guess is someone else paid his way (bout 300 bucks) soo... he probly has a relative that is into firearms freedoms (or was).

Why would Michael Moore need bodyguards, let alone gun-toting ones?  Oh, right -- anything to seem important.  Probably has his perception insured by Lloyds of London.
