Don't understand why the pro-gun rights party would not ensure that people can carry while attending their convention. Surely Cruz will be in favor: “Does anyone else in this room notice that shooting after shooting after shooting occurs in so-called gun-free zones?” “Look, if you’re a lunatic, ain’t nothing better than having a bunch of targets you know are going to be unarmed”. ...

I looked around and found what I think you are trying to quote, but that's not it. Close, but not quite. The real one is kind of funny. At least where Obama got it from is."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

That way Trump's encouragement of rioting at a contested convention will be considerably less dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,494 #15 March 28, 2016 1. The arena is well within their legal rights to refuse no matter how many signatures they get. 2. If 25,000 of my fellow party members are planning on attending; I'm fairly confident there will be enough police, undercover, secret service, etc. that you should be able to make it from your car to the arena and back again relatively safe. Once you get back in your car - feel free to put it back on. I mean I'm all for gun rights, CCW and open-carry (I live in Oklahoma, so we're used to it) but let's not be fanatical about one point of law that's not going to change between now and the convention. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I've said before: Quote "Gun free zones" should be just that, not just on the honor system. If one does not want passive security (allowing those that choose to carry), they must provide active security in the form of armed guards and searches before entering. This definitely falls under the latter. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

SkyDekker 1,465 #25 March 29, 2016 Best part is that almost 45 thousand people signed a petition to have the government force a property owner to do something against his will, because it is against their rights. I guess that many people truly are that stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
