no guns allowed at Texas NRA convention - Politics Discussion

That is because Houston is full of criminals that will break into your car and steal them.They can get more for a gun than a catalytic convertor. Just let them have those.

if you are allowed to bring your gun in the convention and conceal/open carry. why the fuck you leave it in the car. you are truly a drool chin

[–] elcamino (15540) 3 years ago

That is a weekend thing, and nobody would carry the same gun each day. Hotels have nothing but crooks working at them so it is unsafe to leave the extra guns there.This is Houston,land of the Democrat Homo Criminals.

To be fair, how many conventions like this allow you to carry?

reply

[–] elcamino (15540) 3 years ago

NRA would but Houston is democrat with half the population criminals. Nobody would take all their guns inside.

reply

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

I don't know enough about the NRA conventions. Do they allow visitors to bring guns in other states. I would think that policy is actually decided by whomever owns the convention centers.

reply

[–] elcamino (15540) 3 years ago

They do but with it right after the shooting. That place will be full of homo's outside and most likely would break into a car to take a gun they think away and off from being used the right way.

reply

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

I don't understand that comment. With how badly some gay people are treated I wouldn't be shocked that they also support gun rights.

reply

[–] UncleRuckis (2631) 3 years ago

But why though? These people perpetually advocate for having people armed damned near everywhere and make bold claims about how it makes everyone safer, yet when it comes time for their own event, having everyone armed is now a safety issue? The shameless hypocrisy is mind-boggling.

reply

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

I can't answer that, which is why I asked if this happens at their other events. It could also be that the owners of the venue will not allow it. And they have final say.

reply

[–] Leodicaprio (6426) 3 years ago

the point is NRA "we need to arm everyone, including teachers. more guns just means we are safer because good guys will have guns" not allowing guns is the height of irony

reply

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

I get your point, but its not based on fact, which means no irony involved. If the NRA has no say over the matter how is it their problem? Your point doesn't connect.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15935) 3 years ago

Problem is they've booked a venue for their gun show that doesent allow guns.

reply

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

They are running a business. The goal of a convention like this is to bring in as many people that the venue a can handle. Bigger venues are highly unlikely to allow guns floating around like some have claimed here.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15935) 3 years ago

yes but dont NRA members expect to be able to play with their guns?
what happens at these things?
do they sell guns?

reply

[–] Leodicaprio (6426) 3 years ago

yes a business all about promoting guns including ownership nd open and concealed carry. while not allowing it at their own function, or at least choosing a place that doesn't.

they could have chosen one that did, they chose not to. thats the irony

reply

[–] Leodicaprio (6426) 3 years ago

you have no evidence the venue doesn't allow guns. im not saying it does im just saying you cant say "its not based on fact".

reply

[–] UncleRuckis (2631) 3 years ago

The NRA, one of the most powerful PAC's in this country, has no say over the matter? Bullshit!

Hell, I'd bet my life savings that whoever owns that convention center is an NRA member.

reply

[–] CowherPower4Ever (241) 3 years ago

It is being held at the George R. Brown Convention Center. Glossing over their website there is no reason to suggest they are a bunch of gun toting NRA members. In fact it shows they open to people of all walks of life.

And the NRA isn't even the biggest gun lobby in DC anymore. I really wish the left would stop using them as their boogeyman. Charlton Heston is dead!

The Houston may, a Democrat also said this.

"The convention has been on the books for more than two years," Turner said during Wednesday's City Council meeting. "It's a contractual arrangement. We simply cannot cancel a conference or convention because we do not agree with the subject matter."

You are a laser guided heat-seeking missile with your comments here. I applaud your logic and reasoning

reply

[–] CraigC (8435) 3 years ago

The NRA is not a PAC. I surely wish they were as grand and powerful as you seem to think. The NRA began as a training and competition governing body. Their political role came later. The NRA fights to preserve rights the people are already guaranteed by the Constitution. They represent its members. How you people can make it into something else is proof of how effective the liberal media is in brainwashing people.

Sorry but the monster you're describing is big pharma.

[–] B1cKsurN (17574) 3 years ago

It doesn't matter. None of these shootings are organic....its false flags to trick people into thinking it can happen anywhere, which is simply not reality.

If it was even remotely true...why are all shooting against innocents? Where are all the attacks on people that deserve it? Surely some of these shooters hate the bad guys, right?

reply

[–] CraigC (8435) 3 years ago

In fact, the carrying of firearms is ENCOURAGED at the NRA Annual Meetings, always has been. It is the most peaceful and friendly gathering of 80,000 people you'll ever attend. The Secret Service bars firearms in the auditorium where current and former presidents speak. That is all. Standard operating procedure. It's not the NRA's call to make.

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17574) 3 years ago

False flagging the NRA convention would help the NRA, so the only danger is negligent discharges.

reply

[–] Leodicaprio (6426) 3 years ago

I cant even keep up with this inception of conspiracy theories...
"false flagging the NRA convention would help the NRA.... but also not false flagging the NRA convention when people expect a false flag would help the NRA"

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17574) 3 years ago

You can't critically think, so I'm not surprised.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15935) 3 years ago

he's right.
When you're lost in your far right fantasy world , talking rubbish tied up in riddles peppered with all your favorite buzzwords , it does get a little hard to keep track.

here's an example , what the fuck does this mean:
"None of these shootings are organic....its false flags to trick people into thinking it can happen anywhere"

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17574) 3 years ago

LMAO...please give me an example of a "Far Right Fantasy".... you guys seriously sound like deranged lunatics with the vocabulary you choose.

"None of these shootings are organic....its false flags to trick people into thinking it can happen anywhere"

It means exactly what it means. It's not my fault you do not possess the brain capacity to extrapolate my statement beyond the sum of it's components.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15935) 3 years ago

Your saying these mass shootings are done by anti gun lobbyists to promote their cause???

Cos that's what false flag means

reply

[–] B1cKsurN (17574) 3 years ago

No. Try again.

reply

[–] moviechatterer (15935) 3 years ago

er, Its NRA members doing the shooting sprees to show we all need guns to defend? ???

[–] GloccaMorra (113) 3 years ago

This is so unfair to gun owners - infringing on their second ammendment like this.

For everyone entering with a rifle, someone should acoompany them with 'thoughts and prayers'. That should even it all out, and everyone will be happy.

[–] Leodicaprio (6426) 3 years ago

"This is so unfair to gun owners - infringing on their second ammendment like this. "

(I picked up the sarcasm dont worry) yes its almost like there's reasonable restrictions on things even rights! but I thought that only good guys with guns could stop bad ones with guns, and bad guys with guns don't listen to rules and hence the only ones armed will be the officers/agents allowed and bunch of bad guys!!!

reply

[–] GloccaMorra (113) 3 years ago

You're right ! So let's allow good guys in with guns, and bad guys in with guns, and have a shoot out at the NRA convention to prove their theory correct.

reply

[–] Leodicaprio (6426) 3 years ago

by their logic only the bad guys will be infiltrating so they should!

although one of the conservative conspiracy theorists on here said if they did that would help a false flag action against the NRA.

LOL these unhinged guys. it doesn't matter, X proves them right. while the opposite of X would also show how right their conspiracy is

More peaceful than the January 6 Republican insurrection at the White House or about the same ? How do you gauge it ?

reply

[–] CraigC (8435) 3 years ago

You're comparing a convention to a political protest that turned into a riot? Did you ride the short bus to school?

reply

[–] GloccaMorra (113) 3 years ago

I'm actually comparing one gathering of Republican Trumptoads to another. Did you miss 'equal comparisons' in middle school ?

reply

[–] CraigC (8435) 3 years ago

No shit. The fact that you think it's an equal comparison is what makes me question your intellect. Unless you want us to consider the BLM riots an "equal comparison" to any other gathering of liberals. The fact that you can't have a discussion without crap like "Trumptoad" tells me the rest.

reply

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Only about 500 protesters outside. It is the homo commie press that is blowing this up to get other fudge packers to read their story.
