The Secret Service has quashed the hopes of gun rights advocates who were pushing for the open carry of firearms to be allowed at this summer's Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

An online petition in support of the effort rapidly gained signatures and attention in the past week, applying pressure to pro-gun Republican officials and presidential contenders to walk the walk when it comes to guns.

The Secret Service said that only law enforcement personnel will be allowed to carry firearms at the event.

"Title 18 United States Code Sections 3056 and 1752 provides the Secret Service authority to preclude firearms from entering sites visited by our protectees, including those located in open-carry states," Secret Service spokesman Robert K. Hoback said in a statement. "Only authorized law enforcement personnel working in conjunction with the Secret Service for a particular event may carry a firearm inside of the protected site."

once again, it's shown that the only times that democrats and republicans come together in solidarity is when it involves removing or restricting the rights of a once free people.

We don't have a constitutionally protected right to enter those venues. My right to bear arms is not being infringed. But it is cute that you thought it prudent to jump in Legion Fags circle jerk

To tell the Republicans they cant allow guns in their Convention would be unconstitutional.

To tell a Candidate that he cant hold a speech where guns are allowed would be unconstitutional.

I wonder why the Secret Service would care? I thought their job was to protect the candidates? Doesn't open carry make things safer?

Lots of people disagree on the interpretation of the US Constitution. That is life

I am just glad you have this hobby. It keeps you off of the streets.

When the Secret Service protects Obama, it's a meme for hoplosexuals....when the Secret Service protects Trump, it's the correct and sensible thing to do.
