and as you pointed out, it was the secret service who required this. Although I think it’s a good idea, NRA seems like that had nothing to do with that decision.0 -

Yea, I thought having everyone armed was the best way to ensure safety? Why can’t you bring your gun into the White House or Capitol building? Being a law abiding and “responsible” gun owner and all?

How many VPs have been assassinated in living memory?
How many students have been assassinated in recent memory?

Bad guys aren't going to follow the rules.
You call a NRA convention a 'gun free zone' then politicians attending are sitting ducks. It'd be a gawddam turkey shoot.
This is why we should arm the politicians."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
But why is making a law to make the White House and Capitol gun free zones okay but schools and municipalities that do so are mocked and ridiculed? Do you not see the hypocrisy in that? I’m willing to bet that you can’t make an appointment to meet with Wayne LaPierre at NRA headquarters while concealed or open carrying either. Why is that?

It's almost like they're admitting that, despite a whole convention hall of presumably "good guys with guns", someone might still manage to commit violence.
and as you pointed out, it was the secret service who required this. Although I think it’s a good idea, NRA seems like that had nothing to do with that decision.
So no guns around important people? Just regular people?
You two are funny lol. I m guessing it is a law and law abiding gun owners have no problems following the law.Halifax2TheMax said:

I certainly understand why the VP attendance would make it gun free. The more interesting question is whether a normal convention, minus a principle, would also be gun free. Someone mentioned that the NRA HQ is gun free. Do we know that to be true?mcgruff10 said:

Bottom line: hypocrisy at a very humerous level (if it wasn't so pathetic).

It isn’t hypocrisy because they are playing by the secret service s rules. Del you are really stretching on this one.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:
