Y’all, the NRA is banning guns at the NRA convention.
A multilevel security plan went into works not long after Nashville was chosen as the convention destination. All guns on the convention floor will be nonoperational, with the firing pins removed, and any guns purchased during the NRA convention will have to be picked up at a Federal Firearms License dealer, near where the purchaser lives, and will require a legal identification.
Wait! Wait! I thought more guns equals more safety.
Wait! Wait! I thought it was my god-given constitutional right.
Wait! Wait! How are these guys gonna hide their little winkies?
Thanks to Rick for the heads up.
Just thinking on the open carry bill before the state lege, as I was driving back from a bluebonnet trip. I think we need to attach an amendment to that proposed law guaranteeing my right to “open containers” (you know whereof I speak). If I can drive down the highway openly armed, and that’s my ‘constitutional’ (???) right, then I surely ought to have the right to have an open bottle or can or box of whatever.
1This cannot be what the founders of the NRA had in mind when they formed the organization!
I hope they sell a bumper sticker for this kind of infringement on my 2nd amendment rights.
2NRA’s position is sensible, so give them a break. NRA does not want any of its members endangered.
On the other hand, “Open Carry” only endangers the general public, including little children.
So Open Carry is OK.
3What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Why does the NRA deserve special safety precautions when the rest of us are at their mercy? Love to see a real shootout on the convention floor.
4Why doesn’t news like this EVER make it to Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, or ANY other national TV News Network. They are all afraid of the NRA that’s why.
5Everyone should be armed and guarantee mutually assured destruction when the first gun goes off. The sole survivor gets shot when he/she steps outside. A pacifist can dream,can’t he?
6maryelle, the NRA is no different than the 5 SCOTUS wizards who have their two hundred yard perimeter, yet deny a safe perimeter for family planning clinics and patients.
That the ammosexuals are flat out irresponsible, if not certifiably crazy is not a secret. But don’t expect a DOJ and law enforcement joint effort to arrest those crossing the TN border to be hauled over for weapons violations.
No where in the 2nd Amendment are the words: “right to be an arms bearing moron.” But the GOP will continue to throw red meat to their base of gun humpers to threaten the rights of everyone else to life and liberty.
7The NRA is making a BIG mistake.
8Now the door will be open for Obummer to declare martial law and raid the place and take their guns. They will have no guns to defend themselves. The convention will be turned into one big FEMA camp and the 2nd amendment will be ripped from the constitution by its roots. Then Kenya will become a state and the White House will be moved to Havana. All because the NRA is afraid of guns.
Guns everywhere, guns for everybody, guns at all times, guns guns guns… except around us. Because guns are fracking dangerous. So says the NRA management, and so says Congress with its metal detectors at the doors. It’s open season on the rest of us.
9acrubray, actually this was mentioned on the Rachel Maddow show this evening. But, she also noted that guns will be allowed in the venue at which the 2016 Republican hopefuls will be speaking. This could still be fun.
10Dear editors at F’n Wagnall, Webster and Oxford English dictionaries:
Submitted for your consideration as the illustration in your next edition for the word “ironic”: the Rifle Association won’t allow rifles at their annual Rifle Association shootenanny. Nor any other shootin’ ironies.
Ms. Morisette has had a good long run there, she’ll get over losing the spot. However, if her contract for “irony” is, forgive me, ironclad, we would certainly urge this same illustration be considered for your entry for “rabid hypocrisy.”
Very truly yours,
daChipster
11This is the NRA’s new membership retention program. Otherwise, if you get all these barstewards together in one place, they’re liable to eliminate each other accidentally or intentionally. Hell for the NRA would be having to refund the unused portion of the deceased people’s dues to the heirs and beneficiaries. Of course, if the NRA runs short of money, it might ask for contributions back from all the Members of Congress that they bought.
12Well damn, now La Pierre (the peter??!) can’t get accidentally assassinated. Bummer.
13Dang! When I told people that the shotgun my brother in law gave my son for his birthday some time ago had to be sent to a Federally licensed firearms dealer for pick up, their heads exploded! They swore that wasn’t true! Well, heck! Now all I have to do is point them to this particular site on the blog, step back far enough to avoid the shrapnel, and giggle!
14What I want to know is which of these brave redneck gunhumpers who went around scaring women and children at family restaurants, etc. is going to open carry and picket outside the gun show.
15Pity they can’t ban hate and stupidity from their convention.
Not that they want to. Attendance would go way down.
16I love it. No guns at NRA convention.
