Why aren't you allowed to bring your AR or even your Glock to a NRA Convention - isn't everyone a good guy with a gun since its a convention?

The NRA Convention Begins Today. You Can’t Bring Your Gun.

After the Sandy Hook school shooting in 2012, National Rifle Association CEO Wayne LaPierre dug in his heels against gun reform, famously saying that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.”

The NRA Convention offers a perfect testing ground for that theory, but attendees aren’t allowed to bring guns onto the convention floor. Some can’t even take them into their hotel rooms.

Several news outlets have called attention to the glaring irony of America’s largest gun rights group blocking legal firearm owners from exercising their second amendment rights, in light of Tuesday’s elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. An 18-year-old gunman killed 19 children and two teachers, resurfacing the controversial gun debate that sparks up after America’s increasingly common mass shootings.
The NRA posted an announcement on its website explaining that Secret Service barred carrying firearms into the convention because several prominent Republicans ― including former President Donald Trump ― will speak there. Attendees will also have to leave their selfie sticks, toy guns, umbrellas and drones at home.
But attendees wouldn’t be able to bring their guns even if no politicians spoke at the event because the George R. Brown Convention Center itself doesn’t allow weapons of any kind on site ― a blanket restriction that includes pepper spray and mace.

Several of the hotels recommended by the NRA have similar restrictions. Some allow guns in the room but not in the lobby or at the bar. Others required them to be secured and out of sight of the cleaning service. One only allowed guns inside if locked in the hotel safe. At least two of the hotels did not allow anyone but law enforcement to carry firearms on their premises at all.

The NRA wants to look good in the eyes of the Far-Right Radicals also Trump is supposed to speak at the NRA and now no one can bring their guns and no ARs are allowed either wow I guess this is all for the Far-Right Radicals, aKa Trump.

The only way to convince a NRA member of needing gun control is a black man with a gun. They are surprisingly selective with who can have a gun and when.

It's stupid to have semi automatic weapons were not in the military an it should be limited to only revolvers which could help solve murders easier
