RECOGNIZE OUR CONS UTIONAL RIGHT TO OPEN CARRY FIREARMS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION AT THE
QUICKEN LOANS ARENA IN JULY 2016
There's a pe ion to allow 'open carry' at the GOP convention.....and it's not from the Onion!!!!
Believe it or else: Some one has actually posted a pe ion on Change.org to allow open carry of firearms during the RNC convention.
https://www.change.org/p/quicken-loa...tion-in-july-2RECOGNIZE OUR CONS UTIONAL RIGHT TO OPEN CARRY FIREARMS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION AT THE QUICKEN LOANS ARENA IN JULY 2016
SUMMARY: In July of 2016, the GOP will host its convention at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. Though Ohio is an open carry state, which allows for the open carry of guns, the hosting venue—the Quicken Loans Arena—strictly forbids the carry of firearms on their premises.
According to the policy on their website, "firearms and other weapons of any kind are strictly forbidden on the premises of Quicken Loans Arena."
This is a direct affront to the Second Amendment and puts all attendees at risk. As the National Rifle Association has made clear, "gun-free zones" such as the Quicken Loans Arena are "the worst and most dangerous of all lies." The NRA, our leading defender of gun rights, has also correctly pointed out that "gun free zones... tell every insane killer in America... (the) safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk." (March 4, 2016 and Dec. 21, 2012)
I'm not certain whether this is serious, or an attempt at satire; it's hard to tell the difference anymore!!!!! Maybe they should just change the name to the 'NRA Convention.'
I signed....

What could possibly go wrong? Everyone knows gun owners are the most responsible people in the history of the universe. The Republican campaign has been a model of civility and elevated discourse, there's no bad blood between the candidates. People carrying killing machines would have absolutely no effect on the debate or decision making of the delegates, the exercising of the "2nd amendment" has absolutely no impact on those exercising their free-speech rights. These are things we "know".
some of the comments
If there is one thing that a herd of violently fractious racist simpletons need when compressed together in an emotionally-charged atmosphere of hate and en lement, it would have to be that they all deserve to be heavily, heavily armed. A gun-free convention means that the terrorists and liberals win.

If I have to live, work, go to school and shop in "gun zones" there should be no gun free zones for Republicans either. We wouldn't want to take away anybody's Second Amendment rights. Let the hypocrisy be gone.

Signing because... 10/10: expert troll job. The people who flood America's streets with guns should indeed get to experience their civility-eroding, discourse-stifling, violence-inculcating properties this July. Maybe after a shootout inevitably erupts between bearded, obese, camouflage-clad men in 'Make America Great Again' hats over who gets the last bacon-wrapped vienna sausage at the hillbilly hors-d'oeuvre station, the leaders of this dying experiment in quasi-anarchist politics will promptly reconsider their abjectly stupid positions. (I mean, probably not, since several dozen grade-schoolers getting shot to death somehow strengthened their pro-gun resolve; but hey, a guy can dream...)

I cannot stand idly by and witness the erosion of our most sacred cons utional right, putting the safety of its defenders at grave risk by placing them all in this ILLEGAL "gun-free" zone. Make the convention safe again!

Gun fellators are stupid, ignorant mofos.
Senator, fearing violence, may skip Republican convention
About a week ago, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump was asked what might happen if his party denies him the nomination at July’s convention in Cleveland. “I think you’d have riots,” Trump replied. “I think you’d have riots. I’m representing a tremendous many, many millions of people.”
Sen. Dean er (R) of Nevada has watched all of this play out, and according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the senator may skip his own party’s convention “over concerns of his own safety.”what does it say about the state of Republican politics in 2016 that a sitting U.S. senator, after listening to his own party’s presidential frontrunner, concedes publicly that he might avoid the party’s national convention for fear of possible violence?
“Things could get pretty testy,” the Nevada Republican told KSNV-TV, Channel 3, which reported er had seen recent protests at Donald Trump rallies.
“Frankly my biggest concern is security, whether or not I feel it is safe enough to attend a convention.”

There's lots of drinking at convention "parties", and surely gun fellatin Repugs will be packing heat. A great combination.
Trump should lead the push for open carry at the convention.
You're right. This is an issue that can carry him to 1237 delegates easily, even as Lyin' Ted Cruz loses credibility with God-fearing, patriotic, family-first real Americans
pe ion signed. what could go wrong with a room full of drunk, angry,racist, phobic, liver spotted rednecks armed with their favorite handguns and rifles?![]()
they need to have trump come out to this song by the best group to come out of cleveland to set the tone
I can guarantee you it won't be worse than an average day in Chicago.
This isn't The Source Awards, nothing would happen
so armed Repugs in their national convention are better than Chicago gang members.you gun fellators are so ing stupid.
Pe ion to allow guns at Republican National Convention cracks 24,000 signatures
http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/peti...00-signatures/
Less likely chance of violence compared to Chicago gang members who kill every day.
So gun fellatin Repugs are better than murderous drug gangs? give yourself a big ing pat on the back!

If Trump doesn't get the nomination, something could happen. Remember the 'riots' he talked about?![]()
Pussy.On the Sunday morning talk shows, Trump declined to discuss the pe ion at length.
“I have not seen the pe ion,” Trump said on ABC. “I want to see what it says. I want to read the fine print. I have to see what it says. I’m a very, very strong person for Second Amendment. I think very few people are stronger. And I have to see the pe ion.”
When host Jonathan Karl asked Trump to put the specific pe ion aside and delineate more broadly about the notion of delegates carrying firearms at the convention, Trump refused to consider the prospect.
“I don’t want to forget the pe ion,” Trump told Karl. “It’s the first I hear about it — of it, and frankly, you know, nobody is stronger on the Second Amendment than me. But I would like to take a look at it.”
Up to 33K sigs now, and inevitably growing.
You seem to be a fan of ELE bets. If they are allowed to open carry at the convention and no one shoots anyone you leave for good. If someone gets shot I'm gone for good.
You in?
If you amend "no one shoots anyone" to "not a shot goes off", sure.
Pussy. You are doing the exact same thing that you accused hater of doing with your ELE bet.
My is on the table. Take it or leave it.
I never claimed there would be a gunfight.
You're not confident that your fellow gun nuts are so responsible that someone might accidentally pop one off?
You're the pussy for trying to hedge.
I offered you the ELE. If you don't like the terms just say you won't take it.
So you do think it is likely that one of your ideological idiots would accidentally pop one off. Good to know.
