It’s like they are not even hiding their intentions to bring about Nazi regime in power anymore
Frankly, I think they should get sponsored by Glock or HK and just hand out a loaded 9mm to all attendees at the door, 20 round extended magazines too, none of those factory 15 round or pussy liberal 10 round restricted mags. When everyone has a gun, I bet they would feel so safe.
Edit: another thought; no safeties, just double action triggers. Hell, no safeties and single action triggers, bet they’d feel so damned safe.
Been in a few places where everyone had a gun. Feels like walk in a land of fools, and it only takes one.
SOME are well trained. Others not so much so then you have a ton of people self taught in terms of marksmanship going offer the fist gunman. I am sure there will be not collateral damage.
It’s like driving down a road at 130 mph. Blow out one tire and you’re toast. Doesn’t matter which tire. Old one or new one. Doesn’t matter.
Everyone is one heavy plop on to their chairs from blowing their kneecap
The governor is just trying to protect Republicans from each other
A short-lived effort at City Hall to ban guns within the security footprint failed because local governments like Milwaukee are precluded under state law from enacting gun regulations more stringent than the state’s. Wisconsin allows both concealed carry and open carry.
Aw, are your own bullshit, moronic laws having consequences for you? What’s the matter? Don’t feel safe surrounded by guns in a public setting? Does that make you a huge fucking hypocrite? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY IT DOES.
I don’t like that they can create a perimeter and inspect peoples’ possessions outside the event area at all. People shouldn’t have to give up their right to be free from unreasonable searches in public places.
It is, of course hilarious that Republicans created an exception for guns and suddenly don’t like it.
Legally, he can’t take away people’s guns and besides, Republicans hate that entire concept. Instead he should focus on keeping out and removing people with mental health problems.
Then it’d be a quiet and quaint little get together “under the tent” as it were with just a handful of Republicans present. Then maybe we’d see a sane nominee!
Legally they do take people’s guns, and they only hate when people try to take away their guns.
The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons History.com
Throughout the late 1960s, the militant Black nationalist group used their understanding of the finer details of California’s gun laws to underscore their political statements about the subjugation of African-Americans. In 1967, 30 members of the Black Panthers protested on the steps of the California statehouse armed with .357 Magnums, 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber pistols and announced, “The time has come for Black people to arm themselves.”
The display so frightened politicians—including California governor Ronald Reagan—that it helped to pass the Mulford Act, a state bill prohibiting the open carry of loaded firearms, along with an addendum prohibiting loaded firearms in the state Capitol. The 1967 bill took California down the path to having some of the strictest gun laws in America and helped jumpstart a surge of national gun control restrictions.
“The law was part of a wave of laws that were passed in the late 1960s regulating guns, especially to target African-Americans,” says Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms. “Including the Gun Control Act of 1968, which adopted new laws prohibiting certain people from owning guns, providing for beefed up licensing and inspections of gun dealers and restricting the importation of cheap Saturday night specials [pocket pistols] that were popular in some urban communities.”
The Black Panthers were “innovators” in the way they viewed the Second Amendment at the time, says Winkler. Rather than focus on the idea of self-defense in the home, the Black Panthers brazenly took their weapons to the streets, where they felt the public—particularly African-Americans—needed protection from a corrupt government.
“These ideas eventually infiltrated into the NRA to shape the modern gun debate,” explains Winker. As gun control laws swept the nation, the organization adopted a similar stance to that of the activist group they once fought to regulate, with support for open-carry laws and concealed weapon laws high on their agenda.
Ironically, it was the gun control laws that were put into effect against African-Americans and the Black Panthers that led “rural white conservatives” across the country to fear any restriction of their own guns, Winkler says. In less than a decade, the NRA would go from backing gun control regulations to inhibit groups they felt threatened by to refusing to support any gun control legislation at all.
Nice article, and worth it to read the whole thing. Double standards aren’t a new part of the game plan.
Surely, just like their rhetoric to arm every teacher in schools, giving every person at the RNC a gun when they enter will make it the safest place in the world.
