Guns won’t be allowed when Vice President Mike Pence speaks Friday at a National Rifle Association convention in Dallas in order to protect his safety.
The NRA says the Secret Service ordered the ban, but survivors of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting are calling the move hypocritical, noting the organization’s fierce opposition to gun-free zones in most public places.
No firearms or weapons of any kind will be allowed at the NRA Leadership Conference at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, during Pence’s appearance, according to an NRA website. The notice emphas that the U.S. Secret Service is responsible for security at the conference, given Pence’s attendance.
The jurisdictional distinction didn’t impress some survivors of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., or some families of the 17 slain in the Feb. 14 attack. Many survivors and families have become activists seeking stricter gun laws.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.The hypocrisy never ends. This is just astounding. Don't they get it? If there is a bad guy who sneaks in with a gun, the only way to stop him is with a good guy with a gun. They should all go in fully locked and loaded to protect the VP.

no one needs weapons of mass destruction. that isd not would not have went over with the 13 colonies and the men who wrote the constitution. Had one of original forefathers seen an AR15 in the hands of Joe public, it would not have been acceptable, I assure you. The had rifles with bayonets. Big difference.
I have a gun, inherited it, don’t want it! It’s locked in a safe for now... It was a registered weapon that belonged to my dad... why if it was registered have no authorities asked me where it is? We have so many holes in our gun laws it looks like the Albert Hall, they will count them all but prevent nothing!

Do you ever smile or have a positive thought? It must be awful to go through life with such a negative outlook. You know what you think and feel, you mirror image back to yourself? Don't address me directly again. I am ready with my bye bye button.
The level to which you think you know me and her actually clueless boggles the mind... I’m smiling right now
Registered part only counts if you lose it, or it's found at a crime scene. Then someone will give it back to you, or come get you. If you really don't want it and don't want to sell it, you can take it to your local police station and they will take it.
