Republicans argue that mass shootings and acts of terror can be prevented if more people have guns, but if this true why has Trump made the Republican convention less safe by banning guns?

Here is a list of items that are banned at the Republican convention:

During a rally in Atlanta, Trump claimed that if more people would have guns, the Pulse nightclub attack would have been prevented, “If the bullets were going in the other direction, aimed at the guy who was just in open target practice, you would have had a situation folks, which would have been horrible, but nothing like the carnage that we as all people suffered this weekend.”

If America is safer when more people have guns, why did Trump ban all guns from the Republican convention? Does Trump not want convention attendees to be safe?

1. He likely fears he could be out-armed with all of the hatred he's created and loves. n/t

2. He knows how dangerous and sick gun toters are.

3. Most of those are policies of Quicken Loan Arena

But let's face it, Trump doesn't want heavily armed gun nuts near him any more than the rest of sane Americans do.

8. Genuinely read that as Quacken Loon

Which, you know...

4. Trump did that?

Seems unlikely, seeing as to how it's not his event.

Pretty sure the gun policy is the arena's policy, if memory serves.

5. I think that is the convention center's rules, not Trumps

[Duckhunter935]

6. Rules of the venue, not a Trump rule

Not to mention. I think the secret service would not permit them around any presidential nominee.

7. The NRA happily let Bridgestone Arena ban guns at their national convention.

That had nothing to do with their lame Secret Service excuse. They simply lack the courage of convictions they never had.

9. Hitler supported the rights of Germans to have guns & expanded the laws to allow rifle ownership

That doesn't mean he didn't, on occasion, find it useful to ban firearms for some groups of people. Like Poles, for instance.

10. Maybe he's not as stupid as he acts...

IAE, I'm sure he'll blame the Secret Service anyway.
