    The statement in question that he made was that if everyone had guns the Secret Service would not be necessary.

    Instead of us arguing as to whether they have said it, since you are insisting they have, how about you provide a link to the NRA making such a statement?

    There is no need to argue. Prove it. My contention is that you will be unable to find anyone representing the NRA making that particular claim.

    I will be waiting with bated breath.

    So instead of you proving your claim of them making a particular claim, you think the onus is on me to disprove that they have not said such a thing?

    LOL, does that makes sense to you?

    Not at all. It was the Secret Service who said guns could not be present during Trump's speech.

    Trump has nothing to do with my post. The fact that you attempt to paint it as such shows that too many people believe that Trump has any lasting value in their lives and minds.

    'Good Guys' aren't usually aggressors. If they were aggressors, they wouldn't be 'good guys'. I've had a CCW for 30 years, so thinking it's had anything to do with Trump pretty much shows how sad your statement is.

    So, at what ex-POTUS event, has anyone (other than SS) been allowed to carry a fire arm?

    Not so much hypocrisy than a cynically nonsensical, self-serving proposition that more guns means more safety when they know the opposite is true.

    Your whole OP is wrong. Guns are allowed in the convention. They are only not allowed during the Trump speech and that was a Secret Service order.

    Which is a normal response for you always deflecting from the actual content of the post. .

    When "the actual content of the post" is a personal attack de Jure ... what's to comment? :roll: Even this latest reply is just a personal attack. That's all you've got when someone busts you for the bias of one of your long list posts. LoL! :bye:

    If only I knew what I was talking about?!
    This is what I said:
    "What is Trump? A king? A saint? He's NOT the President so I don't know why you called him that but more to the point......he's no more important than you or I or the kids in Texas."

    This is your answer to the above:
    "
    According to the NRA, the Secret Service is taking control of the hall during Trump's speech and is prohibiting attendees from having firearms, firearms accessories and knives. Ammunition, laser pointers, pepper spray, toy guns, backpacks and other items also won't be allowed.
    The Secret Service told NPR in a statement at the time that the agency has the "authority to preclude firearms from entering sites visited by our protected, including those located in open-carry states."

    WT actual F does that have to do with what I said!!!

    Well, what he said was "by the logic of the NRA...." . So to be accurate he didn't say that but to your baited breath point are you going to say that the NRA has never said "the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" which is the point he's making.

    That link is just the first of dozens.

    I didn't ask you to disprove anything. I asked you to give the position of the NRA. Can you or can't you.

    I am not aware in any manner of the NRA making the claim that good guys with guns will negate the need for the police function. Are you?

    I am not an NRA member or a gun nut in any way, but I am pretty sure that they support the police. They in no way pretend like they can replace the police. This is a nonsensical claim. Just because they believe more good guys with guns make things safer, this does NOT equate to good guys with guns mean we can get rid of the police. Such a leap in logic is preposterous.

    You say this is their logic, I say that it is not. If this is indeed "the logic of the NRA", then clearly you should be able to find an example of someone representing the NRA making such a claim. If you do not have proof of such a claim, you cannot legitimately call that their logic.

    In truth, it is the nonsensical logic of someone that opposes the NRA trying to falsely put words into their mouth.

    I am not an NRA guy even slightly. I imagine they have lots of positions, and I in no way pretend to be an expert on all things NRA.

    In regards to the supposed position being debated, you either have proof of it or you do not. Of course it is the latter, so invariably you will continue conjuring every strawman that you can muster.

    My post is an example of how people on the left go to extremes with ridiculous claims that are always over the top because they can't argue the posted data.
    You are a perfect example of that post which is why you have your hackles up.
    When you complain about personal attacks, while making personal attacks, it exposes your own area of disconnection.

    You are so all over the place it's hard to just pick a statement that's coherent.
    First you said:
    '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.
    Yeah...they do suspect that someone/everyone is going to do something bad. A parinoid delusional way to go through life and NO, they don't usually respond.
    How do you connect dots that your CCW has anything to do with Trump? The statement is out of left field......which is my point about Trump and the posts I used as examples.......there is NO logic or coherance to the thoughts in them. They are just a stream of consciousness with nothing to bind the thoughts together.

    Where did that question come from? Deflection
    What is all this nonsense about?
    It's right there in the article.
    PETER OVERBY, BYLINE: NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre skipped the constitutional arguments for the Second Amendment. He was much more direct.

    (SOUNDBITE OF NRA PRESS CONFERENCE)

    WAYNE LAPIERRE: The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun.

    So, the truth is, no one has put words in their mouth as I have shown. Another thing that is true is you still haven't shown what the NRA postion is like you claimed you do.

    To which I responded:
    You take any opportunity to criticise the left, yet you refuse to even defing what left means.
    when your "posted data" is quoting hyperbole out context there is nothing to debate. Your post is just another opportunist attack on an ambiguous "left". You're just trying to capitalize on a tragedy as a mount point to do the job you've been hired to do; divide Americans. -sad

    At the risk of having my post deleted due to redundancy overkill, the SECRET SERVICE is the decision maker, here. Not Trump, not the convention planners, not the attendees, not the NRA. Please do try to see the difference.
