Last night, Jimmy Kimmel once again donned his political expert hat and gifted his audience with a rant, this time on gun control. Now, according to fellow comic Patton Oswalt, Kimmel is getting death threats:
Jimmy Kimmel’s asked for compassion (ACA) and action (gun control) and has had to beef up security ‘cuz of death threats from Trumpers.

If Kimmel’s life is indeed being threatened, that is absolutely, inarguably unacceptable. But Oswalt’s complaint also raises an important question: If Kimmel’s had to beef up security, what kind of security is he beefing up? Because if they’re gonna protect him, they’re gonna need something stronger than fists.

Just a quick question, does his security detail have firearms or nah?

So you're saying a guy that wants people disarmed & defenseless has armed guards?

Isn't that just a little hypocritical? Self defense for him, but we plebes don't deserve such luxuries?

Hardly seems fair, does it?
