No Gun Control Required to Keep the Peace at the Republican National Convention
AmmoLand ^ | July 23, 2024 | Dean Weingarten

At the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, former President Trump has been nominated to be elected president again. Senator J.D. Vance has been selected as the Vice President candidate. No one was shot or injured at the convention. There was heightened security because of the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump.

Far-left Democrats, such as Milwaukee Alderman Bauman, wanted someone, anyone, to ban the possession of firearms near the convention but outside the security perimeter. The City of Milwaukee did not have the power to do it. The Secret Service did not have the power to do it. They could not revoke everyone’s rights, protected by the Second Amendment, because of the Second Amendment, Wisconsin’s similar protection, Section 25, and Wisconsin state law, which prohibits local governments from infringing on the right to be armed. From abcnews.go:

Due to Wisconsin state law, people will be allowed to openly carry guns and can conceal-carry with a permit inside the so-called “soft perimeter,” which surrounds the Secret Service patrolled inner “hard perimeter.” City officials tell ABC News they are frustrated following Saturday’s developments but don’t expect a change.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers (D), tried to convince the Secret Service to infringe on Second Amendment rights outside the security perimiter. He failed. From jslonline.com:

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has requested that the decision to allow firearms within the soft perimeter of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee be reconsidered “immediately” following the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, a source with knowledge of the discussion shared with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Such is the nature of a constitutional republic. The government’s authority is limited by the Constitution and law.

The RNC Convention in Milwaukee has ended. There was a minor incident handled by police.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The Democrats screamed for more infringements. They were denied. Nothing happened.

Will be interesting to see how the Demwits pull off their Convention next month. I suspect that mess in DC yesterday was just a warm up.

“They are obsessed with disarming the people!”

Yes, and after disarmed they kill anyone who gets in the way of their agenda. In many cases, they kill 1/2 of the population.

Oh, the joy of Communism/Fascism (both Totalitarianism).

Extinguish the “ism’s:

I suspect that the convention employed a NUMBER of retired Secret Service or Seals to handle security of the convention.

Doubt they relied on the FBI for guidance.

Our little Napoleon marxist POS governor of Ohio is down with the cause.

It didn’t take republicans very long to make the “Red Flag” law in Ohio a hundred times worse. H.B. 249 also modifies the requirement that the person being pink-slipped must represent a substantial risk of physical harm to self or others. The bill would remove the requirement that the substantial risk of harm has to be a risk of physical harm.

I guess you can be sent to a medical facility for loitering in the future.

Because it makes it easier for bullies to rule.

I am somewhat relieved that I was not in that vicinity when the flag burning occurred. I'd probably be in jail. Remember the guy who tried to beat out the flames with a coat, and was dragged away? I was screaming at the TV set for him to throw the flag burner into the fire.

And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.

My thoughts exactly! Even Harris claimed to be outraged.
