Liberal Celebrity Site Gawker Has Problem with “Hidden Guns”

Celebrity news website Gawker posted a story, which picked up news reports, that among the individuals listed on a newly released New York City gun permit-holder list include Roger Ailes and Sean Hannity. Both reportedly have “concealed carry permits,” something that isn’t exactly the easiest thing to get. As we’ve reported there does seem to be a double standard in New York City when it comes to issuing permits.

But what’s the big deal about these two individuals carrying guns? Unlike Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York, or Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago, these men don’t have taxpayer-funded security personal. They are high profile individuals and aren’t beloved by everyone. Shouldn’t the real question from Gawker be why the permit process isn’t made easy for everyone, instead of asking why two men who in all likelihood have been threatened at some point have been issued the permits?
