Yes, so what about school shootings?
Establish a secret service in every school so they can stop anyone who draws a firearm next to someone else or maybe check people who keep writing essays about murdering everybody else?
If security only counts for the president then I'd say he is more equal than everybody else.
The point is not to arrest everybody who opens her mouth, but those who have a serious intention, which, of course, is hard to prove, which again, is why it's not done often in countries where saying certain things is not exactly allowed.
What you do hear now and then though is that people are threatened and police can't do anything and then some day the person is found dead...I'd say that is a flawed system to we have to give everybody guns.
