Gun Control & RKBA
Related: About this forumThe Upcoming NRA Convention firearms policy.
Trump and Pence are scheduled to speak next month at the annual NRA Conference to be held at the Indiana Convention Center.
Shocker here: NO FIREARMS ALLOWED while the GOP God and Demi-God address the crowd regarding what I assume will be content near and dear to the attendees.
Not that I figured they would be allowed (I didnt), but honestly, when all the NRA does is spout off about how its not guns that kill people, its people who kill people, at some point you have to trust your base, right? You cant have it both ways. You cant say your base is comprised of Trump loving patriots who understand gun safety and want to carry in public to protect themselves and others from evil-doers, yet ban the very thing you are advocating for around your most sacred spokesperson and his boy wonder. It just goes to show you- they are smart. They dont trust their base any more than we do. Plain and simple, and oh so hypocritical.

They love it when people call them hypocrites. It shows they're "owning the libtards".
They're actually not hypocrites. They understand that it's all about power, not principle, and they'll say and do anything for power, self-contradictions ( "pro-life" ) included.

(1,334 posts)Should be a SNL sketch where gunfire breaks out at NRA rally; suddenly everybody takes sides, takes cover, and uncorks their best kinetics.
Live Fox News crew under fire as they cover a firefight resulting from an accidental discharge at a gun rights rally. The reporter dodges fire while interviewing combatants, some who are shot while being interviewed. EMT and LE shot as they respond. The reporter herself gets shot, and sound guy jumps into frame but is also shot. Eventually it's just the camera man and the sound of gunfire. Gotta be a funny way of ending that which is true and biting.
The scene starts out slapstick but gets more bloody and macabre (think Monty Python's "Salad Days" ) as it progresses.
End scene.

(40,120 posts)The NRA knows that the members are not trustworthy.
DeSantis does not trust his followers armed.

(10,136 posts)While the SS-protected folks are there, the Secret Service sets the rules.
If the general admission is required to be gun free, that is the policy of the building owner or the insurance company. The NRA has repeatedly said that if the policy was theirs then guns would be allowed.
