Doughboy, Michael Moore's bodyguard gets caught packing heat

How does him being in the NRA prevent him from being Anti-Gun? I wonder when he last paid his dues? I own several guns, and will be adding more as time and money permits, but I am
NOT a member of the NRA. I don't have a problem with the, it is just that joining them is not on my too do list. So, does that mean that I'm anti-gun then? Since you presupposed that being the NRA prevents you from being anti-gun. Stupidly terrible logic, but quite expected.
What is your argument here? The average citizen cannot afford a full-time 24/7 bodyguard, but does have the right under the Second Amendment to keep and bear arms. The argument that he is entitled to protection because of his popularity is freaking absurd. There are many more people out there that face a higher risk of death(store clerk in a quickie-mart, late night manager, etc) than Moore, yet they cannot afford a 24/7 bodyguard. So, what you are stating is simple elitism predicated on the fact that you wish to fellate Michael Moore. Nothing less, and nothing more.
The sheer amount of hatred that boils under the skin of millions of conservatives when they think of this man is reason enough to have some level of security, to prevent zealous right wingers from attacking him, throwing stuff at him, etc...
Just because I despise Rush Limbaugh doesn't mean I don't think he shouldn't have the right to hire some security that most people absolutley don't need.
I wouldn't consider myself a Conservative you presumptuous asshat. I'm more of a Libertarian and someone who uses logic. What incident? The incident in which an armed guard, hired by Michael Moore(and yes, if you read the thread you will see he knew that he was hiring an armed guard) broke gun laws to protect one of the biggest anti-gun fools to ever walk the earth. If you don't see the hypocrisy in what occurred, then I suggest glasses or contact lenses for you.
So, swearing and using the word masturbation undermines my argument? I'll have you knighted by the goddamn Queen of England if you can explain LOGICALLY why it would undermine it based simply on the merit of its intent and logic. Regardless, you need to stop crying if you get offended by such speech -- I'm thinking you are one of those censorship trolls that ends up in every government thread.
But he doesn't have to follow his own rules. No one is saying they don't understand the *point* of his whining and crying in BFC, but rather he is a hypocrite because of what happened in the article. The problem is the old: Do what I say, but not what I do. Fvcking BS! Your earlier statements are some of the more incredible spin I've ever seen. You are saying that he couldn't even go find an unarmed bodyguard, so that proves how prevalent guns are. Faaaaallllllllllaaaaccccyyyyy!
Are you accusing me of lacking reading comprehension!? THERE WAS NO INCIDENT WHERE MICHAEL MOORE WAS PRESENT, OR WHERE HE HAD INFLUENCE, PERIOD. A guy who had worked for Moore was, at a later date, stupid enough to carry a gun in a state where he should not have.
As for masturbation hurting your argument, it makes you seem like a child who is grouping together all people left of center as "fanboys", thus making you also appear to be a conservative which I have branded you as such. One can be a libertarian and conservative, you of all people being a libertarian should know this.
He was in his employ you freaking idiot. Are you saying he had no influence over the guy and/or what he does? Ok, that is just sickening logic. He has a LOT of influence on him, and perhaps Moore should FIRE his company if he wants to truly take a stand. Will he do that? Perhaps, he will do it to pander for some DNC votes, but doubteful that Moore will even acknowledge this, or will say it was a secret hidden conspiracy against them. Let me break it down for you:
Moore says(implictly) that he has armed guards now in his employ. An armed guard in his employ is caught at an airport, and you are saying Moore had no influence on that? He hired armed guards you dolt!
I never said he couldn't find a security firm which didn't use guns, I said that by having a plethora of private armed forces out there who are hired by people who have no reason for such protection, it shows thatb he is correct in saying that Americans are fearful when they shouldn't be.
His "rules" are not rules but him showing via film that average americans don't need to sleep with guns under their pillows.
Your retorts are no more than rash statements consisting of swears and misquoted reasoning.
Hey look it's somebody else who bought into that horribly biased film.
It's really too bad Moore is so manipulative, because he asked valid questions in that "documentary." If he hadn't insisted on biasing the film, it could have been very good.
again, there you go with the angry personal attacks.
Would you like me to lay out the employment of a security gaurd for you?
1. Hired by a firm
2. Work for a firm
3. Do a service for an individual who has hired the FIRM
4. Do a service for another individual who has hired the firm
He is not a personal protector of Moore, and so him being in New York with a gun has nothing to do with Michael Moore, he was either their for vacation or to protect someone else because the firm told him to do so.
This is like saying I am responsible for the guy who cuts my lawn when he gets sued for driving his John Deere over someone when cutting a yard on the other side of town. Please, I thought you used logic?
Again you simply don't understand. It isn't that America is gun crazed, it is that they are fearful of nothing. Moore is not an average american citizen and has a need for security as shown by statements from people in this thread saying he should be thrown in jail. If he is hated by random people across the country, he has a right to be fearful, but the average american has no need to be fearful of such things.
I am not advocating for all of Moore's statements, actions, or otherwise, but trying to take what small morsels of intelligence that he does lend to society in his idealogy and scarpe them from the fray of ignorance.

if i did an entire documentary about how americans kill each other like crazy (so i ought to know the dangers better than most), AND i was a hugely controversial public figure HATED by the same people who own guns, AND i was easily recognizable from 10 miles off thanks to my lard ass...
you better bet my bodyguard would pack heat. no hypocrisy involved here, just pure common sense. the only surprise here is that he doesn't wear a vest anytime he goes outdoors.
use your brains, people.
