There’s something very elitist about anti-gun politicians and celebrities, especially those who have the resources to hire protective details for themselves, even as they work to deny you and me the ability to protect ourselves.
In other words, they act as if the only people deserving of being kept safe are those who can outsource it.
Take Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia (please?) for example.
The senator–who unfortunately represents me–is a noted proponent of gun control. He has been since he took office back in 2020.
And, it seems, that he’s spent millions on private security during that timeframe.
FIRST ON FOX: Sen. Raphael Warnock’s, D-Ga., re-election campaign has spent an eye-popping amount of cash on private security over nine months in 2025 despite a history of supporting stricter gun control measures.
Between January and September of this year, Warnock spent approximately $360,000 on security services from Executive Protection Agencies, LLC, an Atlanta-based security firm that includes both armed and unarmed options. Warnock’s office did not clarify what type of service he was paying the firm to provide.
However, the security firm’s website says it uses its armed services to provide protection for “political figures.” A Fox News Digital review found that Warnock’s campaign has spent over $2.7 million on private security dating back to Dec. 2020.
Warnock has regularly pushed gun control in Congress, including co-sponsoring legislation to ban assault weapons and require universal background checks, voting for federal red flag laws, supporting stricter penalties for those who purchase firearms from sellers not legally allowed to do so and stricter licensing requirements for sellers, among other initiatives.
Now, whether the security is armed or not is, in my mind, mostly irrelevant. Sure, it’s more hypocritical if it’s armed, but any kind of private security is hypocritical while he works to deny us the ability to protect our family.
See, any security detail is going to be visible. Armed or unarmed, they’re there and they’re a deterrent to any potential assault. No one knows if they’ve got guns, for one thing.
Yet you and I don’t get that. We don’t have big guys in suits standing around us, scanning the surroundings, giving off an air of “mess you up” to everyone around us. We don’t get that deterrent effect at all.
For us, it’s a different matter, and for many of us, that means carrying a firearm to keep us and ours safe.
Warnock, however, works against us being able to do that. He’s vocally supported numerous gun control measures, and his anti-Second Amendment advocacy goes back to 2013, according to the Free Beacon. This isn’t new for him.
Especially since he’s in a party that tries to make a big deal out of helping the less fortunate. The $450,000 Warnock spends per year, on average, sure would help an awful lot of less fortunate souls out there, don’t you think?
But then again, like so many anti-gunners, it’s not really about keeping people safe. It’s about making sure we rely on the government for everything, including our safety, which they cannot guarantee.
Editor’s Note: President Trump and Republicans across the country are doing everything they can to protect our Second Amendment rights and right to self-defense.
