WASHINGTON, DC – Liberal elites believe in the right to keep and bear arms–but only for those who are duty-bound to protect them. 

The latest example comes out of Washington, D.C., where an armed carjacker made the mistake of attempting to jack a car occupied by a deputy US Marshal who is assigned to the security detail of liberal Supreme Court justice and “wise Latina” Sonia Sotomayor, the New York Post reports. 

“Justice Sotomayor has aggressively opposed the individual right to self-defense in her dissenting opinions on several major Second Amendment cases over the years,” Erich Pratt, senior vice president for Gun Owners of America, told Fox News Digital. 

“So it is incredibly ironic, even hypocritical, that her own private protective detail was forced to exercise this basic and universal right to protect themselves in a very dangerous situation. Hopefully this incident will open her eyes, but we won’t hold our breath,” he said.
