NRA Convention - No Guns Allowed

A small but startling sign welcomed the gun lovers who arrived at the National Rifle Association's annual gathering Friday.

"Firearms WILL NOT be allowed in Hall A during the Celebration of American Values Leadership Forum."

Beyond this sign at the Kentucky Exposition Center was a row of 10 metal detectors. They were manned by uniformed Secret Service officers deployed because the scheduled speakers included presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

The Secret Service sets the rules in such circumstances, and even NRA big shots had to go through the screening. Thousands found themselves standing in a long, slow, feeder line before they even reached one of the lines that stretched in front of each metal detector.

1. Oh no, this is an outrage! Don't tell beevul! He will go off!

9. Why would I?

I'm not an nra member.

I don't carry a gun except when coyotes are on the property intending to eat our little ones - you can have our pomeranians when you pry them cold and dead from our cold, dead hands.

"Why, that’s positively “unAmerican,” except that the NRA members saw nothing ironic apparently in submissively disarming because the Secret Service considers armed men and women as potentially dangerous to presidential candidates."

Sounds like they were being reasonable to me. And gun guys and you, and a few of the usual suspects have a problem with this? You guys need to do a better job finding stuff to complain about, methinks.

At any rate, I would hope you would demand just such behavior at any meeting where Obama was speaking. I know I would.

10. Sensibly stated.

2. Too bad. And totally hypocritical. Guns don't kill people. If only they would have allowed

them and passed out ammunition...

8. BEST POST EVER!!!

11. No guns?

Probably made it easier for McCain to get over any speech jitters, since everyone in the audience would already be sitting there naked.

12. After nutball Cheston Harlton did his gun-waving act, I don't blame them

If he had been able to find the trigger, who knows what could have happened.

13. LOL!

14. Don't they know they'll all be safer if they're all heavily armed?

Sheesh, Secret Service, what were you thinking?

15. There must have been an awful lot of cold, dead hands that day.

You'd think that would have been reported, though. That so many cold, dead hands had weapons pried from them.
