BF_2 OP t1_iud8ysj wrote

I've got a plan: Let the NRA and right-wingers have their way with allowing guns wherever -- PROVIDED the same provisions apply to their events.

Ever notice how guns are banned at NRA conventions, Trump rallies, etc.? Why is that? I mean, all gun owners are forthright, upstanding, trustworthy folk, aren't they?

Under my suggested legislation, NRA wouldn't be able to ban guns (not even semi-automatic rifles) at their events, unless such guns are also banned everywhere (*) else. Same true for Trump rallies, CPAC conventions, etc., etc. One size fits all. After all, the only remedy for a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun -- right!?! /s

* Okay, maybe not quite everywhere. Guns would be allowed on practice ranges and while hunting (and I mean deer and other game animals, not humans!), subject to hunting regulations. Otherwise, all or nothing. If gun owners be allowed to carry in the downtown, then they should also be allowed to carry in the NRA convention. Or while visiting the Supreme Court. /s

Ever notice that it’s not the NRA banning? It’s the management of the convention center, local/state laws, or required by the Secret Service when attended by politicians.

And your point is ... ?

Do you think those convention center managers would be allowed to ban guns in their venue if the new laws don't allow them to?

You said “NRA bans” when it’s not the NRA.

As far as I know, private property owners can prohibit firearms on their property in every state. Sometimes it’s auto-felony, sometimes it’s “asked to leave and Tresspass if you don’t” but they have that right.

Ever noticed the NRA headquarters bans visitors bringing guns?

Of course not, you're an apologist

I’ve also given zero shits about the NRA and it’s headquarters. And?

Perhaps. Tho the fact that I never apologized for anything does. What the heck are you even talking about?

You spoke up and are unwilling to defend your own position, wonderful.

I defended my point, that the rules/prohibitions the OP cited weren’t on the NRA. Then the goalposts were moved to different circumstances. I’m not playing the what-if game.

Then the NRA should find other gun friendly venues. The NRA agrees to the contract, so yes, it IS the NRA.

NRA stands for Negotiating Rights Away. They're just a money grift for boomers. Organizations like FPC and NAAGA actually focus on protecting people's 2nd Amendment rights.
