Kempster misses the entire point. It was the NRA who said that good guys with guns are the best protection against bad guys with guns. I don't give a rats what the SS wants, the NRA should hold to their mantra. No liberal is going to be in a room full of NRA gun nuts packing or not. Anyone with a living brain cell knows that.

But if the Secret Service DEMANDS that no one else in the room can have firearms, shouldn't that be the same everywhere people congregate if gun-free environments effectively keep gun violence from occurring? Isn't that antithetical to the entire raison d'etre of the NRA?

If the NRA and Trump had any nutz, they'd demand the restriction be lifted because it's a blatant violation of the attendees' 2nd Amendment rights. But as scaredy-cat Kempster sees it, it's safer to keep potential liberal gun owners from having the opportunity to target Trump even when the room would be full of armed supporters itching to cap anyone trying to harm their orange god.

Can the NRA and Kempster be any more contradictory - or selective - in their advocacy of gun rights?

The Secret Service is the final authority on matters like this.

So the Secret Service's congressionally mandated power can override a constitutional amendment's expressed rights?

Good to know. We can solve the school shooting problem immediately. Put the Secret Service in charge of security at every public school in America.

Glad you're aboard Willowby.
