In the wake of three murders and the recent attack on a federal prosecutor in a New York courtroom, a group representing the nation's federal prosecutors is calling for stepped-up security, including home alarms, self-defense training and the right to carry firearms....Yeah?
"Statistically, we are threatened more than judges"...
How about cab drivers? Convenience store clerks? Minority residents in any major urban area?
How are their statistics? Are you going to demand RKBA and secure parking for them?
Or is it just an "Only Ones" thang...?

I imagine they want the taxpayers to fund these luxuries for them.
Hey Mr. Prosecutor, didn't you think when you studied and applied for this job that you just might come across some rough characters?
It's called COBD, the Cost Of Doing Business. If you don't like it, try another line of work.
self-defense training. hah.
lesson one: quit your job, idiot.
Maybe they wouldn't be threatened if they were not a threat to us normal people (as opposed to real criminals).
Boy, don't they sound just like the crazed fantasy would-be Rambos who hysterically see danger everywhere? What are they a bunch of gun nuts?
I certainly hope the pragmatists jump all over their asses for suggesting that there might be ballistic consequences for someone trying to victimize them and rob them of their rights.
But, somehow, I expect the hear them support the idea, using the excuse that we will win converts that way. Uh Huh! Just like all those special considerations already given have made our would-be masters wish to share.
Just remember: put a "sector" between "public" and "safety", and you have something closer to the truth.
And... If they're asking for it, it's not a right.
Also: statistically, most of the dangerous criminals are outside of the courtrooms. If the prosecutors think they've got it bad, perhaps they should think about who was on the receiving end of the accused's crime.
Mexico has about one assassination per week of a mayor, police chief or prosecutor by the drug cartels. In a socialist society where only the police and military may be legally armed. Criminals care about two things: ego and money. Laws?
Jurassically speaking, tell the approaching velociraptor that YOU have the superior brain and therefore you are not food, it's illegal to shred you and eat you. You have five seconds.
Laws? Laws are the tar pit that mires the peaceful mastadon so the sabretooth cats can feast.
