Seems like endlessly shuttling between heavily guarded walled compounds in motorcades of armored limos would get to be a drag after a while.

(26,789 posts)There have been more guns than people (unlike every other country in the world) for years now.
Note that today's ruling doesn't impact the vast majority of states that are already in line with the ruling (i.e., "shall issue" states)

(16,148 posts)They get to live in bubbles of wealth and privilege. They have private security, armored limousines, and "people" to interact with the common folk for them. Most of them have no idea what life is like for the average person.
Yes, there are exceptions, but probably fewer than we think.

(10,749 posts)Not all the billionaires are high profile. My guess is that you couldn't identify the photos of the who's who in the American billionaire class after #10. So they just get on with their lives. Do they have security? Probably. Are they in walled compounds and driven in motorcades? Probably not.
