March 28, 201610 yr :banghead: For the upteenth time, nor is the RNC. If you want to have the discussion, "should the RNC be holding their event at a venue that prohibits guns" or "do you think the RNC is too nervous to have an event at a gun-allowable venue" then that is fine. I get it and frankly think that would be an interesting discussion. The thread title you mislead in saying that the RNC is going to a venue and placing their own ban on firearms. That is false. From the Quicken Loans Arena website: In accordance with the Ohio’s “concealed carry” law and the right for private entities to ban handguns on their premises, firearms and other weapons of any kind are strictly forbidden on the premises of Quicken Loans Arena. Can someone post that picture of the dead horse getting beaten? Gezzz
March 28, 201610 yr An armed contingent of Trump supporters vs. an armed contingent of Cruz supporters in a tight space. (And let's not forget alcohol consumption.) What could possibly go wrong when Trump learns that the "fix is in"?

March 28, 201610 yr Would this be any different than Obama, who is opposed to guns, having secret service folks following him around to protect him?
March 28, 201610 yr Dumbest thread ever. The Secret Service also banned guns in Florida 4 years ago at the convention. Any time the Moms Demand Action members can present an attack on guns they will.
March 28, 201610 yr Wrong. Come to the Gun Show in Louisville April 16 and 17th and you will see the people in line to enter the show demonstrating to uniformed officers that the fire arms in their possession have been disabled (firing pin removed, a lock through the chamber so the Gun cannot go into battery, etc.). The only reason guns are allowed in is because the owners of the facility know that often times gun owners want to use their current firearms to trade for others they want to buy from the vendors there. Whoa! :isurrender: Wait wait wait...you can't take a fully functioning gun into a gun show? How in the h-E-double hockey sticks anyone say straight faced say that more guns make the world safer when they aren't even allowed in a GUN SHOW operational because of safety reasons? No reason to talk down to us fellas we understand that it isn't allowed but this whole situation is just #irony . I would expect future RNC conventions will allow open carry after this hullabaloo.

The restriction is set by the owner of the facility, not the Gun show similar to the RNC not being the culprit in not allowing guns at the convention, rather the owner of the facility not allowing them. While delegates may not be armed, I but Trump and Cruz will be with the risk of Move On and/socialist yahoos which may try to get into the event and do something stupid like one of them rushing at Trump a week or two ago.

This...it is 100% on the facility. Local Gun Show here is held at a government owned facility and has the same rules.
March 28, 201610 yr This...it is 100% on the facility. Local Gun Show here is held at a government owned facility and has the same rules. So people who patronize gun shows are essentially paying government entities to restrict their 2nd Amendment rights?

March 29, 201610 yr I think I get it. If a FACILITY bans guns, but it happens to be a facility that caters to gun-lovers (such as a gun show or a republican convention), then it is not a GUN issue at all, it is a FACILITY POLICY issue. If a facility such as a school, where kids get murdered, has ANY response other than "let's arm the teachers, principal, and janitors", then it isn't a FACILITY issue, because murdered school kids are not as important as gun shows, but rather it is a GUN issue.

BAM! :popcorn::banana::smug:
March 29, 201610 yr BAM! :popcorn::banana::smug: You do realize that Quicken Loans arena doesn't allow weapons of any kind right? Secondly, have you liberals ever heard of something known as the "Secret Service." It's not really a secret, they are real and would not allow guns in anyway, just like they didn't 4 years ago in Florida. So, as we have it the extreme leftist are trying to take great joy in the fact that gun owners will be following the law? Don't let me interrupt your agenda though.
