Who are they gonna pick to be the guy who calls the NRA and tries to bargain for some slack?
“Well, sure, ‘shall not be infringed’ we are totally on board with that! But this more like a voluntary thing! Mandatory, but voluntary! Things are already a bit tense and…yes, yes, good guy with a gun, absolutely right about that, but, see, thing is…”
This is what I envision…
In an effort to be tea partier than thou, they All arrive packing.
In the course of normal mine is bigger than yours conversation,
somebody fires off a shot in the crowded convention hall.
Everybody draws with about 50 accidental quick draw bullets flying around.
The rest is history.
It’s like the mousetrap-and-ping-pong-balls representation of nuclear fission.
Well, I don’t know. The Trumpies are nutty, violent, and fascistic, but not necessarily battle rifle enthusiasts. They might prefer to use truncheons, or their fists. The Cruz cultists might actually own some Uzis and AR-15’s, but they seem a little more “law and order.” I’m not saying it won’t be ugly, I just don’t think it’ll be* that* ugly.
To be fair, I sincerely doubt that this is a Republican idea. It smells a lot like someone else started the petition to screw with the RNC.
It IS a stupid idea though, only momentarily fun to joke about. But as much as I despise what the Republican party has stood for for the last fifteen years, I am quite satisfied to enjoy their philosophical destruction. I don’t want them actually killing each other.
They should allow guns at the convention. THen when nothing happens, we win. Although we won the gun argument a long time ago.
Then why is the subject kryptonite for the candidates?
You won. The rest of the population lost their lives.
“When” nothing happens? :dubious: Is that another of your predictions?
In what sense is it “winning”? And who are “we”?
I see the Trump contingent as more the torches-and-pitchforks type.
Inasmuch as the NRA is one of the most powerful groups in American society, and given the prominence of gun violence in cinema, and considering that in many places it is considered acceptable to walk around with a pistol hanging from your hip, it seems reasonable to say that the gun strokers have the upper hand.
I know. And I want everyone to know it would be wrong, WRONG I say! and the height of irresponsibility to attend a gun-enabled RNC convention with a string of firecrackers in tow.
Nah, these are sophisticated, mature gun people, they would most likely think somebody was setting off a piddly-ass .22 auto and simply sneer in contempt. Republicans expect to draw persons of higher caliber.
So why have all their candidates this time around been a bunch of dum-dums?
A melange of dum-dums, slugs and duds…
If you all had won, then there wouldn’t still be arguments and debates over it. Do pro-life people think that the pro-choice have won because abortion is still legal, or do they (generalizations, I know) say, “okay…you got us. This time. But the fight ain’t over yet?”
And given all of the controversies about abortion, and some state legislators continuing to try to undermine the issue by not stopping abortion, per se, just making it damn near impossible to get one. I’m quite sure that those pro-lifers don’t accept the argument that the war is over.
That analogy makes sense in my head. Probably not so much on the boards.
Good, let’s go with that assumption. Please sign. Get a pass for the convention and insist on your second amendment rights at the checkpoint.
Have fun.
Remember - the more guns the safer.

Georgia Governor Said He Will Veto ‘Anti-LGBT’ Bill
Actually, not really a stupid idea but amusing at how fast faith crumbled.
Just the traditional worship of The Almighty Dollar.
Not too long ago, that would have had the opposite result. Things do change, and over time, more for the better than the worse.
