Discussion: Secret Service Says Guns Will Not Be Allowed At GOP Convention

Criminals will rejoice!

I was actually planning to go to Cleveland and give armed people free drinks.

That’s too bad. I was looking forward to multiple Darwin awards, each one a twofer: get rid of a gun nut and a wingnut at the same time.

Funny these 2nd Amendment-loving guys suddenly are deferring to GOVERNMENT to decide. So much for freedom…

Kinda like the tale of the Englishman that hated the Irish with real prejudice, and willed that every year on his death anniversary, several dozens bottles of whisky along with knives and clubs should be place on his tomb, and invite any Irishmen willing to celebrate his death and dance on his grave. Noticing that their drunken and rowdy character will guarantee at least few deaths .

Damn. Here I am cruising for my late afternoon snark-fest and austin-dave has to get all “thoughtful” and “consider the ramifications” on us.

What the—? If people with guns aren’t going to be allowed to do what ever they want, when ever they want and how ever they want, well, then I just don’t know what America is anymore.

Communism.

It seems to me the only logical and conscientious response by the GOP to this blatant attack on one of their most sacred principles is to either boycott or preferably cancel the convention altogether.

As an organization that blatantly refuses to consider the consequences of their actions they should have no problem with such a move, although Mr. Trump might have a few things to say, but then what’s new?

I think it’s kinda’ sad that guns won’t be allowed into the arena. This is the kind of stupid horseshit that completely prevents evolutionary processes from weeding out those who shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Agreed.
Any way we can get some Militia Types to takeover occupy the QuickDrawen Loans Arena the day before?

Thanks for the post chammy, it is in fact deliciousness at it’s best. However the Democratic primary turns out, I have no doubt that President Obama will push support for the Democratic candidate… unless he’s pushed away. After all, the Republicans are making sure he can’t get legislation through Congress, so what’s a sitting president to do, but get in the bully pulpit and make the GOP feel the hurt.

There’s no legal requirement for Secret Service protection for candidates - the candidates, if they truly believe the 2nd amendment mandates unfettered access to guns, could simply ask that the Secret Service not be at the convention. Problem solved. #opencarryopenbarGOPconvention

I think if the Republicans had one ounce of decency, they’d start out the convention with a Moment of Silence to honor the late martyr. All of the presidential contenders should stand onstage, holding hands, heads bowed while a Man of the Cloth recites one of the what must be many of Brother Finicum’s favorite Passages in ‘The Holy Bible.’ When the Moment of Silence has come to a close, perhaps a single remembrance candle should be lit to honor all of the babies killed by Planned Parenthood – at which time, failed HP CEO Carly Fiorina will show the somber crowd the horrible scenes of that poor, defenseless, totally alive, kicking and cooing white baby being hacked to death with an old, rusty hatchet by that Lesbian Liberal Planned Parenthood janitor. When Carly has finished her little show-and-tell, perhaps Ted Cruz will finally show us the pictures of Heidi that The Donald’s been hinting of.

I mean, seriously, who does the Secret Service think they are??? … infringing on these white people’s Second Amendment right?!? Yeah, Doctor Ben and Mia Love will be there, but they’ll be too busy serving the guests to even worry about carrying a weapon. I don’t think there’s enough room in the pockets of those staff uniforms, anyway.

Sounds fun, doesn’t it?

Let them bring their guns. They’ll only be hurting themselves, and have themselves to blame. And it lets the RNC figure out the issue of if some of the pledged delegates shoot each other during the convention, do their votes count?

They want guns in schools but not at their own peaceable assembly? I’d prefer it the other way.

That’s no fun. What could be better than a Repug convention with firefights between states, and hostage-taking among the delegates? If the GOP wants some through-the-roof ratings, just make gun sales mandatory for admittance.

That would resolve that “short digit” question.
