So you would think they have no problem posting a similar sign in their own front yards, right?
You'd be wrong. Watch their "uncomfortable" reaction when confronted by hidden cameras...
THE OBJECTIONABLE SIGN
THE REST OF THE STORY - BY BOB UNRUH, WND
An undercover video investigation by Project Veritas, whose
founder James O’Keefe is widely known for his devastating exposé of ACORN,
found that the journalists who recently exposed gun-permit holders in the New
York City area were unwilling to take a dose of their own medicine and declare
their homes “gun-free zones.”
Project Veritas members posed as members of a gun-control
group asking to post anti-gun signs on lawns. The journalists included staffers
of the West Nyack, N.Y.-based Journal News, which last month published the
names and addresses of thousands of pistol permit holders licensed in the
Westchester and Rockland counties area north of New York City.
Four times doors were closed in the faces of the Project
Veritas investigators, three times the signs were rejected, twice law
enforcement was called to remove them from the property and three times they
found armed guards already on site.
Stops by the team included the homes of Newark Star Ledger
columnist Bob Braun, Journal News publisher Janet Hasson, reporter Alex
Weisler, Journal News Editor Cynthia Lambert and U.S. Attorney General Eric
Holder.
O’Keefe’s crew asked journalists whether they would put a
sign on their lawn that says “Citizens Against Senseless Violence. THIS HOME IS
PROUDLY GUN FREE!”
Uniformly they were denied permission.
O’Keefe, who also previously released a video of a Democrat
campaign operative plotting vote fraud, explained he wanted to see how top gun
control advocates “felt when placed in the same position as our nation’s
children – within a Gun Free Zone.”
“Our nation’s children spend the majority of their week
within schools that are starkly emblazoned with signs that read ‘Gun Free
Zone.’ Project Veritas put that same concept to the test with some of America’s
most fervent advocates for gun control,” he said.
O’Keefe said his team went door-to-door in New York, New
Jersey and Washington to see which outspoken champions for gun control would be
willing to declare their own home as a “gun free zone.”
“It’s amazing to see members of our media equivocate and contradict
their spoken and written words when faced with the dilemma to declare their own
homes as gun free,” O’Keefe said. “Surprisingly, we found that the homes of the
very New York paper that was willing to put the lives and fortunes of gun
owners at risk by publishing their names and addresses, were also the most
heavily armed and protected.
“The hypocrisy of New York’s Journal News is beyond words.”
