Oppression!!!!11!!!!!12!!#! This is what triggered the American Revolution, jackbooted thugs in the British Commie Red Army denying God fearing American patriots their God given right to carry their guns anywhere they desired, from the outhouse to the state assembly to the pulpit where God-appointed messengers dropped truthbombs on their congregation. if George Washington was alive today, you KNOW he wouldn't go anywhere without his Uzi pointed right at whoever needed fixin'!But now, here this:
[font size="4"]Secret Service Says Guns Will Not Be Allowed At GOP Convention[/font]
The Secret Service announced it would not allow firearms at the Republican National Convention in July, in response to a petition that garnered tens of thousands of signatures, The Hill reported Monday.
Individuals determined to be carrying firearms will not be allowed past a predetermined outer perimeter checkpoint, regardless of whether they possess a ticket to the event, Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback said in a statement to the news outlet.
The agency's comments come after a petition on Change.org demanding open-carry laws be upheld at the convention garnered more than 45,000 signatures. Ohio is an open-carry state.
"Only authorized law enforcement personnel" may carry firearms while inside the Quicken Loans Arena, Hoback said in the statement.
The agency cited federal law, which allows the banning of weapons where protected people are present, even in open-carry states.
A similar situation transpired when President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the technology and culture conference SXSW earlier this month in Austin, Texas, where open-carry is also legal.
This is EXACTLY where the illuminati and their masters in Obama's White House start their massive round-up of all gunowners, Christians, and guys named Melvin and start giving patriotic corporate tax cuts to illegal Muslims at Planned Parenthood instead.

(6,357 posts)4. So this has me totally confused...
...The Republican Party and all of its candidates are staunch defenders of the Second Amendment.
...Every time there is a theater shooting, a mall shooting, a kindergarten class shooting, the standard response is "this wouldn't have happened if there was a good guy with a gun to take out the bad guy with a gun".
...Aren't the Secret Service "good guys with guns" and won't there be a lot of them.
I mean, if it's really true that more guns is better than less guns, why in heavens name would anyone be worried about this years cope of Republican delegates being fully loaded on the floor...unless of course you're not sure who would be the good guys and who would be the bad guys.
And that's kind of the problem with having guns everywhere. Even the guys who want to be president don't have the courage to head into a roomful of people they don't know when there's a possibility that one/many/all are carrying.
Things that make you go "Hmmmm...."

(268,982 posts)11. I thought about those persons who had called the police in Colorado last year
about a suspicious character. They were told the police couldn't do anything because of open carry.
Fugger killed three or four innocent people. See they can ban guns when it's the 2nd Amendment goons who will face the threats.
