No Guns Allowed!

       Have you seen the news? The NRA is holding its convention, which in and of itself is no big deal. Except that this year guns will be banned. The NRA. No guns allowed. Its because Vise President Mike Pence will attend the event. Still, you have to be a bit surprised that the organization that defends the constitutional right to keep and carry guns  won't allow guns in its own annual convention.
       What's the matter? Ya think some angry member of the NRA will endanger the Vice President? Doesn't the NRA understand that guns don't kill people, people kill people? Has the national sales representative for the gun industry decided they might be wrong on their thinking? Could this be a turning point in the NRA's fight to arm every citizen?
       There is no reason to believe that the NRA will change its mind regarding children in school. Apparently teachers, administrators and yes, probably soon to be heard is the idea that young and older children alike should be armed as well. Because, after all, guns don't kill people and the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a toddler with a gun.
       Of course I'm half joking about arming children in school. The NRA hasn't sunk that low. Now when it comes to college, well that's a different matter. Student applications should have a line item asking what model of assault rifle the student will be carrying to classes. At that point I'd recommend you stay as far away from any institution of higher learning. In fact that's just what the NRA wants. An uneducated clientele.
