The NRA said guns will be banned during a Pence speech. Parkland students see hypocrisy.
Quote:
Pence is scheduled to speak at the annual NRA gathering in Dallas on Friday, and many attendees will be packing guns, knives and other weapons for the event — which includes “more than 20 acres” of firearms exhibits expected to draw 80,000 members.

But the NRA said the U.S. Secret Service will coordinate security for the Pence speech and will not allow weapons in the arena while he is present.

“As a result, firearms and firearm accessories, knives or weapons of any kind will be prohibited in the forum prior to and during his attendance,” the NRA said. A detailed list of prohibited items includes ammunition, drones, gun parts, firearm magazines, as well as signs and glass containers.
Guess there are times when the NRA does not trust good guys with guns.
Needles to say, I will not be attending this event as protest against my 2A rights.

I am terribly sorry to tell you Americans that the global interest and attention on your shootings is fading away. It is so tiring. No offense intended. It is how it is.

Posted article doesn't support your assertion.

I read the complete story and I have to agree with Nailer. Nothing in that article leads one to believe this guy is a lefty. You really are becoming unhinged since you went all in for T'Rump, bro. Maybe you need more roughage in your diet?

One doesn't need to be a lefty to dislike Trump. Ask me.

The school shooting near Houston on Friday bolstered a stunning statistic: More people have been killed at schools this year than have been killed while serving in the military.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rvice-members/

Ponder that for a moment.

I hear you, Chris. Sad news from Texas today, 10 people murdered. The country is under some evil spell when it comes to guns.

'A Santa Fe High School student says she expected to be shot at one day' Vox

“It’s been happening everywhere. I’ve always felt it would eventually happen here.”

Our civic leaders have failed us. Time to vote them the hell out.
