Sharon Stoned on Guns

Security:
As needed. To be mutually decided by Producer and Sharon.
--Approved 24 hr armed bodyguard--[adt'l?] bodyguard app'd by SS if she requests
So that explains why Sharon Stone could make such a public spectacle of "surrendering" her guns!
"I choose to surrender my right to bear arms in exchange for the peace of mind of doing the right thing."

Los Angeles police, at Stone's request, confiscated one shotgun and three handguns from her Beverly Hills home on May 14. Authorities described the weapons as "lawfully obtained and legally kept."

Stone said she was moved to disarm by April's Columbine High massacre that left 15 people, including the two teen gunmen, dead. She asked other gun owners to similarly downsize.

"I urge you to trust and believe in your local law enforcement officers and believe in the courage of following your heart and surrendering your fear and anger," she said.
You didn't surrender your right to bear arms, Sharon, you outsourced it. And as for placing trust in the police for protection: You first.

She's already established what she is, she's only talking about price now.

"...trust and believe in your local law enforcement officers."

But what happens when they are not there, you twit? Tell me, where was law enforcement when this happened?

The majority of us can't afford a team of 24/7 armed bodyguards. Our *guns* are our bodyguards.

I appreciate my local police, and I pray for them daily.

But I sure don't trust them with my safety. Take a look at traffic - the police are in charge of that, too. But I don't rely on them to keep me safe from speeders or idiots driving like madmen. It is my responsibility. Protecting my family is ultimately my responsiblity, too.
