Elite restricting rights should give up their own

I’m willing to ignore the Second Amendment, a constitutional right, and give up my guns on the following condition: All politicians including the president and vice president, all celebrities, all the elite, all big business executives agree to give up all their security guards who are armed with guns. That includes the FBI, CIA and Secret Service, as well as all police and military.

If we think our rights aren't absolute, we are not upholding the Constitution and the laws of the land, which are sworn to be upheld by the governing people.

Also, if they don't think we need a border, those same people should give up any fences or gates around their homes, communities, and government buildings.

I’m willing to pay $10 per gallon for gas and cut my usage as soon as those same people agree to live in only one small home instead of several huge ones, and not use private jets to fly all over creation or huge chauffeured gas-hogging vehicles. No yachts allowed — they must bike or use public transit or travel by shanks' mare. They don't need to fly to visit other countries at our expense to check out how the war is going, or how the Pope is doing.
