The GOP are saying guns are OK in schools, hospitals, stores and places of recreation so why don't they allow guns at the GOP convention. (The idea of Trump supporters or Cruz supporters with loaded guns sound like a bad idea to me unless you like shootings.)
aving weapons at a hotly contested and potentially violent political event may sound like the mother of all bad ideas, but that hasn’t stopped some gun enthusiasts for starting a petition to do just that, Ohio.com reports.
Americans for Responsible Open Carry filed the petition with Change.org this week, and as of Friday morning it had garnered nearly 12,000 signatures.
According to the GOP’s policy on their website, “firearms and other weapons of any kind are strictly forbidden on the premises of Quicken Loans Arena,” where the convention will be held.
The petition claims that “Cleveland, Ohio is consistently ranked as one of the top ten most dangerous cities in America.”
But, “This doesn’t even begin to factor in the possibility of an ISIS terrorist attack on the arena during the convention. Without the right to protect themselves, those at the Quicken Loans Arena will be sitting ducks, utterly helpless against evil-doers, criminals or others who wish to threaten the American way of life.”
The petition also notes, “All three remaining Republican candidates have spoken out on the issue and are unified in their opposition to Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s ‘gun-free zones.'”
