    Who is "he", and what is "it" that they are doing for him?

    Upon further reflection, do you mean the devil? LOL. OK. I am not a religious person.

    Australia has had one mass shooting in the 26 years since passing a National Firearms Agreement. Japan, Norway, and the UK all have stringent gun control laws and minimal gun-related deaths. The US has seen over 200 mass shootings so far this year. Robb Elementary School was the 27th school shooting this year.

    Simple answer.

    Have guns ever been allowed at an ex-POTUS event?

    The level of hatred has escalated to such a level, that not 'everyone' who would be at this event, would be considered 'the good guys'.

    I get the point you're trying to make here. If the good guys attending the speech were allowed to carry guns they can eliminate the threat from any bad guy with a gun. That's sound logic and should be the logic applied in most scenarios. But the problem with that is that one bad guy can get off a good shot and kill the President before the good guys can kill the bad guy. That's too high of a risk. Trump is not a nobody, he's not just any high schooler, we wouldn"t want to risk him getting shot even if we can kill the bad guy after the shot.

    Not true because there is always the chance of someone like the Texas shooter.

    Now, if the circumstances were different and they allowed guns, you can bet that no one would dare shoot Trump.

    The good guys are supposed to cancel out the bad guys...........according to Wayne PaPierre.

    That doesn't mean it's pre-emptive.

    There are those who commit suicide by cop, and if they are deranged enough to take a shot at the ex-POTUS or anyone else up there, they may actually comprehend that is what they effectively would be doing.

    Bases on the lack of reasoning skills established from the left, its exact proof why the left should be banned from owning guns.
    They continue to show they have about the same reasoning skills as these shooters do for their self proclaimed reason to kill people.

    Heres just a few claims in this thread alone as to the limited reasonability they posses

    I thought the NRA's solution to gun violence is more guns?
    If everyone at Trump's speech has one he should feel uber secure, like no worries. Cuz more guns make the world awesome, don't they?
    Gun culture in the US is a sickness
    the second amendment could only have been written by geniuses so obsessed with freedom that they whipped their slaves for entertainment
    By the NRA's logic if everyone had a gun the SS wouldn't be necessary.
    The good guys are supposed to cancel out the bad guys.


    These are all signs of extremism when dealing with logic. No middle ground exist in the minds of the left.

    'Good Guys' don't use guns because they suspect someone of doing something bad. They usually respond. In this particular case, The pre-emptive position is that no one carry a fire arm.

    That is the 'larger point', or perhaps you were going off topic?

    This is a silly thread. The Secret Service is responsible for the safety of presidents and former president. The office holder himself does not have much of a voice in how that protection happens. Trump could scream from the rooftops that he wants guns at his rally (he probably doesn't want them,) but SS would still say, "nu uh."

    The Secret Service is not the NRA. Don't confuse the two.

    Those are all hyperbolic, pointing out the absurdity of We the People to address mass shootings in our Nation responsibly.

    Which was my point. Language that exaggerates or overstates the truth.
    Glad you agree

    We need less idiots and more guns. Guns don't kill people... people do.

    I don't agree that you can define "left" or your criticism.

    They must have agreed.
    There will be no guns at their own sponsored event when the 2X impeached is in the building.
