DALLAS (AP) — Attendees at the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting in Dallas can carry their firearms — except during the forum where President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence speak Friday.
A White House official said Monday that Trump will attend Friday. Pence had already been slated to speak at Friday’s leadership forum.
The NRA has said on its website that due to Pence’s attendance, the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for security then. It’s standard for the Secret Service to bar firearms from being carried into places visited by the people they protect, regardless of state laws.
Some students at the Parkland, Florida, high school where 17 people were killed in February criticized the NRA on social media for what they see as hypocrisy.
Guns were also banned during Trump’s appearance at the NRA’s annual meeting in Atlanta last year.
Seems like even Trump and Pence don't trust good guys with guns. Even them know more guns = more crimes.
And the fact that the NRA bows to this is incredible, it totally destroys Wayne Lapierre's "good guy with a gun" argument, it destroys the NRA's "Guns makes us safe" argument.
And what about the hypocrisy of a politician claiming guns in schools would make american kids safer but guns at an NRA forum would put the POTUS and the VP at risk ?
