There is an NRA convention in Houston this weekend.

[slater71]

There will be no firearms allowed. I guess they are scared of guns. I would have to assume that it is guns that kill people and they know it. They took guns away from people that are coming to the convention so that they would be safe from guns.

1. They are taking away all the "good guys' guns."

Tell America! The good guys can't even carry their guns when they will be surrounded by "good guys."

[sazemisery]

2. That's not what their website says...

Is concealed carry allowed at the Show?

During the 151st NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, personal firearms may be carried in the George R. Brown Convention Center (GRBCC) in accordance with Texas law. When carrying your firearm, always adhere to all federal, state, and local laws.

4. If the Florida Fatass shows up in person to give an address,

I imagine the SS might have something to say about that.

[2naSalit]

9. Maybe...

He'll phone it in again like he did earlier this week.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. I'm thinking that's what he'll wind up doing.

Never can tell who might show up with a loaded tomato.

[2naSalit]

16. Or a pie!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

21. Unless the pie "is loaded".

With stain causing blueberries or something.

[PXR-5]

22. He likes hamberder pies!

[global1]

17. He's Worried About Getting Hit By A Pie....

so I guess the guns are ok.

[Buns_of_Fire]

23. I think the officials have already replaced the metal detectors

with meringue detectors.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

3. There should be protesters there to greet the convention goers.

Be peaceful despite the reason why one is there.

[Captain Zero]

5. It seriously needs to be DISRUPTED

NO JUSTICE NO PEACE.

[Paladin]

8. That convention needs to be shut down, one way or the other.

In memory of all the murdered schoolchildren.

Either that, or let's just start saving some time and and say some "thoughts and prayers" for the next 20 school shootings in this fucked-up country. That ought to get us to the end of the year, at the rate things are going.

[SoonerPride]

6. It would be a tragedy if someone showed up with an AR15

A terrible tragedy indeed

[empedocles]

11. 'tragedy'

[dalton99a]

12. +1

[AngryOldDem]

7. Too soon to discuss gun control, but not too soon for an NRA convention.

Sounds about right.

[2naSalit]

10. Yup.

Dystopia, are we there yet?

[Emile]

13. Is Ted Cruz a keynote speaker?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. One of them I read. TDFG is too.

Both will slobber all over themselves about how "pro Gun" they are and "that it is the Democrats who want to take your guns away" bullshit. Mark my words.

[Emile]

18. Looks like they are the ones politicizing for profit over the deaths of school children!

[global1]

19. The Convention Center Should Be Surrounded By A Million...

anti-gun protestors to prevent anyone from getting in. The protestors should shut down the convention.

[moonshinegnomie]

20. Abbot Cruz and idiot will all be there

Cronyn was supposed to be but suddenly had a “conflict” and canceled

[Zambero]

25. With thoughts & prayers a-plenty!

It should have been obvious by now that all those prior prayers are not being answered and never will be. Sadly, "obvious" does not register with these people.

[Dustlawyer]

24. They need to have the courage of their convictions!

We all know they are chicken hawks!
