37. The secret service DIDN'T extend the secure zone though did they.
Since they didn't the area where the protesters had guns it was not unlawful to do so. You might think it is irresponsible, hell 99% of American might think it is irresponsible but the law doesn't (currently) consider it reckless endangerment.

IF you (or more correctly the citizens of AZ) think it should then the law should be updated to make that action illegal, until it is illegal it is legal.

The NRA doesn't determine the law that is the job of the legislature.
The legislature in AZ decided what happened in AZ should not be against the law.
The legislature in NYC decided what happened should be against the law.

Only reason I brought up AZ was IF the man in AZ was falsely arrested it is possible (but I don't know for sure) that the NRA defense fund may have defended him. The key point would be false arrest.
