9. Guns Banned From Trumps NRA Speech, 2nd Amendment Rights Ignored

Well if this isn’t a slippery slope, I don’t know what is.

In what can only be described as an attack on our second amendment rights, the secret service has reportedly banned attendees from carrying fire arms into the convention hall where President Donald Trump intends to address the NRA later today.

Forget Obama’s effort to increase background checks (which were reasonably presented as a way to take ALL guns away) THIS is much worse, and I suspect that the true believers in the NRA will do the right thing and either boycott the speech or force their guns to be pried from their “cold, dead hands.”

During his campaign, President Trump and the National Rifle Association developed a predictably cozy relationship. So it should come as no surprise that a top priority for the new president would be to speak to the NRA at their spring convention today in Atlanta.
