Does anyone know what kind of guns are used to protect the Obamas? I want the same to protect my family.

The secret service uses fully automatic handguns...but Reagan still go shot. Weapons are not a guarantee of protection or survival.

The simple answer is probably an assortment of handguns. Most likely Glock M17, M22, M20 or Sig-Sauer P220, P226, P228. Some of Ted Kennedy's body-guards even carried UZI submachine guns!
The biggest problem for you, Train, and you budget, is that most of the guns protecting the President are attached to the end of a Secret Service agents' arm. They probably run about $60K to $90K per year.
There are relatively few fully auto pistols, the Glock M18 being notable. It's not likely to be used for executive protection due to the length of the magazine making concealed-carry very awkward.

I think that's a silly statement.
Would have been nice to cut that dick head in half with an Uzi in Sandy Hook. Before...or after what he did it.

As I stated the use of weapons is not a guarantee of protection or survival. If you really think that is silly then I would suggest you seek psychiatric treatment.

Your brain isnt as big as you think.
your statement is akin to saying 2+2 = 4 and expecting us all to be in awe of you.

Then you agree that the use of weapons does not guarantee protection or survival.

The belief in God does not guarantee a ticket into Heaven.
HEY! Im a prophet!
The good will prevail over evil, as long as you dont give evil an advantage. This is why all the Liberals like Obama and Oprah have armed guards next to them.

You would have to agree that NO weapon guarantees NO protection or survival.

At least eplain has the mental capacity to know that 2 + 2 = 4.
There is hope for him.

Let me say this to you Clowns (I capitalized Clowns out of respect)...
There is a problem at a local school around here. Some kiddies like to pull the fire alarm once in a while... get out of class for some fresh air...send everyone out into the snow without jackets...whatever the reason.
Here is my question for the Big Brains...
Do Fire Alarms guarantee protection & survival?
and do you think it would be a good idea to remove all the fire alarms? this would certainly stop the little bastards... wouldn't it? wouldn't they be good after that?
And Fire alarms are so archaic....cheap cast iron things on the wall that only entice people to pull them anyway.

Then you do agree...I thought so you are just so frightened I suspect a Christian upbringing. Generally those who were raised in a fundamentalist Christian environment are more fearful than the average person. I believe it comes from the teachings that put the fear of God into children. This fear festers and manifests as greater fears later in life. Show me a survivalist gun enthusiast and more often than not they were raised in a fundamentalist Christian environment.

I don't own a gun... does that mean that I am not a Christian?
