Liberals are having a field day today mocking the NRA based on the discovery that they’re having guns banned at their convention where VP Mike Pence will be speaking.
That includes this doofus from the gun-grabbing fascist kiddie brigade:

Of course his fellow liberal morons went nuts, saying that it was hypocritical for the NRA to ban guns – but it wasn’t the NRA that did so, it was the Secret Service.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait you’re telling me to make the VP safe there aren’t any weapons around but when it comes to children they want guns everywhere? Can someone explain this to me? Because it sounds like the NRA wants to protect people who help them sell guns, not kids.

They are really putting the VP at risk if they think a “no gun” zone is gonna work...

On so many levels, this is enlightening. According to the NRA, we should want everyone to have weapons when we are in public. But when they put on a convention, the weapons are a concern? I thought giving everyone a gun was to enhance safety. Am I missing something? https://t.co/f4wgNhJ7RI

And of course the media is pushing the narrative with misleading headlines:

I dont understand. The NRA has banned guns at their convention because Pence will be there. But guns don't kill people, people kill people. I know that because the NRA says so. They should be banning the people, and leaving cheering guns in the the seats of the auditorium.

In other words, @NRA leaders like @DLoesch could speak before or after Secret Service arrive and allow the audience to be armed during their speeches, but they’re hiding behind Pence’s appearance to make sure they’re also speaking in a gunfree zone. #NRAAM2018 https://t.co/CREj8fO3XV

.@NRA won't allow members to carry guns during the Trump and Pence speeches. In other words: the event is a giant gun free zone -- the very kind of zones @NRA wants to eliminate b/c they lie and say that they are targets for shooters.

So stupid. Here’s a statement from the Secret Service to the Daily Wire about the idiotic online controversy:
When the Vice President or President is on site that venue is no longer under NRA jurisdiction, it is under the control of the United States Secret Service. …
After the President and Vice President have left the venue NRA rules apply and people will be permitted to carry in accordance with local laws. To be clear the USSS rules are in effect until the President and Vice President leave the venue. This only applies to the exact venue where they will speak and inside that security perimeter. Other NRAAM events taking place in other areas at the same time are not subject to the USSS policy.
It’s this kind of BS that reinforces Trump’s talking point that you can’t trust the media, and it shows how deceptive the Parkland gun-grabbing kiddie brigade is too.
