While Senator Cory Booker was grandstanding on the Senate floor during a marathon speech attacking Republicans, one of his closest staffers—whom he’s called a “best friend”—was being arrested for illegally carrying a gun into the U.S. Capitol. That’s right: while Booker ranted for hours about supposed threats to democracy, his longtime driver and security sidekick, Kevin Batts, was cuffed and charged with “carrying a pistol without a license.”
Let’s just call this what it is: another shining example of “guns for me, but not for thee.”
Batts, a retired Newark police detective, wasn’t some unknown intern. He’s been on Booker’s personal detail for nearly two decades. And according to Capitol Police, Batts didn’t even go through the normal security checks—he was escorted around security by a Member of Congress. The implication? Someone knew he was carrying and didn’t want it detected.
Think about that. The same Cory Booker who’s never met a gun control bill he didn’t love—the same guy pushing for “assault weapon” bans, universal background checks, magazine limits, and laws that would disarm you for living in a “sensitive place”—is walking around the Capitol with a buddy likely serving as de facto armed security. Meanwhile, the rest of us are told we shouldn’t need guns because we have police.
Hypocrisy, Meet Reality.
Let’s make something clear: under federal law, no one is allowed to carry a firearm on Capitol grounds, not even a retired cop with a permit.
If you or I had done what Batts did, we’d be facing federal charges and likely jail time. But because this guy is part of Team Booker? Crickets from the anti-gun crowd. The same folks who would’ve had a meltdown if this had been a staffer for Marjorie Taylor Greene or Rand Paul are dead silent. Not a peep from Brady, Giffords, or Moms Demand.
Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation put it best: “Cory Booker has never met a gun control law he didn’t like… but it’s okay for him to have armed security while he labors to keep every average citizen disarmed.”
The Double Standard is Disgusting.
And it’s not new. Remember when Ted Kennedy’s bodyguard was busted in the Capitol with an Uzi? Or when Diane Feinstein pushed gun bans while carrying her own pistol? Or is Kamala Harris claiming she’s “pro-gun safety” while owning a gun herself?
These people don’t actually hate guns. They just hate you having one.
Meanwhile, law-abiding citizens are demonized, red-flagged, and disarmed in the name of “public safety,” while violent criminals like Sharon Evans in North Carolina rack up dozens of felonies and walk free to kill. Evans had 37 felonies and nine misdemeanors in under two years. He was caught repeatedly with stolen guns and cars, and he even strangled a woman—and yet, he kept getting released. Eventually, he killed an innocent man on the way to dialysis.
So, let’s recap:
- Booker’s staffer, armed illegally = no national outrage.
- Gun control groups = silent.
- Everyday Americans = disarmed in “sensitive places”.
- Violent repeat offenders = back on the street.
- Politicians = protected by armed friends and privilege.
It’s no wonder more Americans are embracing their Second Amendment rights and rejecting the elitist hypocrisy of politicians like Cory Booker. If the people crafting the laws don’t follow them—and are quietly surrounded by guns themselves—why should we trust anything they say?
- You don’t get to push for disarmament while sneaking your armed buddies past security.
- You don’t get to rail against “gun violence” while turning a blind eye to the revolving-door justice system, letting actual violent criminals go free.
And you definitely don’t get to claim the moral high ground while enjoying protections you’re actively trying to deny the rest of us.

Senator Cory Booker’s net worth soared from $807,000 in 2018 to $15 million today. He is still yapping and won’t shut up because they’re onto that money, and the left all cheering for it. While we’re distracted, they shuffle to hide the cash. How do these Democrats get so… pic.twitter.com/qT9LCUnAA9

Gun rights are not just for the politically connected. They’re for everyone. Especially those without private security details and friends in high places.
It’s time the double standard ends. Equal protection doesn’t just mean equal laws—it means equal rights, including the right to keep and bear arms. Speak Out! Because the louder we are, the harder it is for hypocrites like Senator Cory Booker to keep lying to the public while hiding behind armed privilege.
Stay armed. Stay aware. Stay free. Stay Dangerouse.
