Didn’t realize the garbage convention was coming back to town. And to top it off they’re bring excess trash with them.
I bet they can’t have guns at the speeches. How ironic.
You mean ironic like the DNC Convention requiring picture IDs for entry? How disenfranchising.
Yeah, that was funny.
The DNC requiring ID at their events while screaming about Voter ID.
The convention will kick off , I am sure, with a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. It should be followed by a reading of the Militia Acts of 1792 (which provides the context for the “well-regulated militia” phrase use in the 2nd Amendment).
Donald “Take The Guns First, Go Through Due Process Second” Trump is speaking at an NRA convention? Hypocrisy knows no bounds.
“Or, take the firearms first and then go to court… I like to take the firearms early… Take the guns first, go through due process second” Trump said in 2018. Yet the 2A crowd still love these grifters. Trump enacted more gun control legislation than Obama, who only signed two gun-related laws, both of which EXPANDED gun rights by allowing to carry in national parks and on Amtrak. Yet NRA members will eat up anything MAGA.
Makes you so proud to be a Hoosier. Having these nut jobs in our city makes me sick.
amen
There will be fewer shootings (probably zero, unless in self defense against a local assailant) by the NRA crowd in attendance than the average weekend in Indianapolis.
Right. Because the “good guys with guns” have always been there to save the day.
David L. – Where in my comment did I suggest “good guys with guns” have always been there to save the day? On rare occasion, they do (note the Greenwood Mall as one example). I merely predicted there would be fewer shooting by NRA members when they are in town than an average weekend in Indianapolis.
Because all legal gun owners are safe gun owners, right?.

Susan H. – Where in my comment did I suggest or state that all legal gun owners are safe gun owners? Unfortunately the NYT has years ago surrendered any pretense of objectivity (as many other left and right wing news outlets have, to be fair). In response to the invective against the NRA and their members in other comments here, I predicted there would be fewer shootings by NRA members during the convention than occur during the average weekend in Indianapolis. A low bar, I would admit, but it is I think a valid albeit provocative comparison, as evidenced by your and David L’s tangential responses that do not directly refute the comparison.
I think gun crimes should be punished EXTREMELY severely – FAR more severely than they are currently. But in many cases, the gun crime(s) are dropped as part of a plea deal (as documented recently in our own Indy Star). I actually think the gun penalties should be INCREASED, and prosecutors not allowed to drop them as part of a plea deal. In other words, the firearm penalties – unreduced – should be additive to whatever plea deal the prosecutor reaches with the criminal. Furthermore, I think if someone is caught with an illegal firearm, it should trigger an automatic “red flag” and associated search warrant to look for more firearms in their place of residence. The possession of an illegal firearm is in itself the probable cause for the “red flag” and associated search warrant, and then ALL firearms [legally or illegally purchased] possessed by that individual can be seized and adjudicated through the red flag process.
