Would not be my guess. My suspicion is "elitism."
"The belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources."
Fit's the bill very well IMHO.This is the same thing that was just shot down in Austin last week. The House tried to modify a bill to allow them to carry weapons without restriction, the same as law enforcement, on the premise they faced more danger than the average citizen. They were caught and the bill was handily defeated.
