I see how it is

<But the talk-show host said she and her family do need protection because of threats made against her, arising from her pro-gun control stands.>

I see she takes a shot at the pro gun on that one. Like anyone who is for the 2nd would harm our cause by wasting ammo on her.

<O'Donnell expressed concern that publicity about her son's attendance at a local school - coupled with the information that the guard would be unarmed - could make him vulnerable to harm. The Advocate is not naming the school or O'Donnell's neighborhood because of the potential security issues.>

So you can only be offered the right to protect yourself if you are famous and can pay for it. Leaving the rest of us with no protection.
