Walker's Announcement Event To Be Gun-Free Zone


.................. the NRA showers him with campaign donations and an A+ rating.

Yup, Walker is a real gun nut supporter...unless those guns are near him.

In his invitation to his official kick off to his presidential campaign, which he has been running for four and a half years, Walker asks people to leave their guns at home:



Prohibited Items: All attendees will go through airport-like security and should bring as few personal items as possible. No large bags, sharp objects, signs, umbrellas, liquids, aerosol containers, guns, ammunition, fireworks, electric stun guns, mace, selfie-sticks, martial arts weapons/devices, or knives of any size will be allowed in the venue.

In public events where one of those 320 million might show up.....guns are prohibited...but welcome as sacred idols only when their are actually none around.

Hypocrisy and guns-lovers go together like bullets and death.

The no-guns/knives rule is mandated by the insurance company for the venue.

It's not the candidate or group sponsoring the event.

Very standard clause for events at auditoriums.

gun toting Yahoos are. The 95% of the population, who would never dreamed of carrying a gun on public, don't want the sick Yahoos around either.

...guess that might personally eliminate too many of the audience themselves.

we have a small, but dedicated group of "Open Carry/Constitutional Carry" people here in Wisconsin who have made a point of showing up with their weapons in public parks, discount stores and other venues trying to get someone to "violate their constitutional rights"....

What happens if they show up to assert their god-given, constitutionally MANDATED right to scare the crap out of everybody else?
