Posted on the website change.org, the petition of unknown origin notes that "though Ohio is an open carry state, which allows for the open carry of guns, the hosting venue -- the Quicken Loans Arena -- strictly forbids the carry of firearms on their premises."

That "is a direct affront to the Second Amendment and puts all attendees at risk," said the petition that has more than 34,000 signers.

I'm not a Republican, so I don't care what rules Republicans decide to adopt for their convention. But for Republicans, what are your thoughts?
 
It's a good thing. People are probably carrying in there anyway.
 
lol do it

yes, do it. Make that second amendment stand. I want to see the fireworks.

Like the scene in Tombstone at the theater where the cowboys are all firing off their guns.
 
I'm fine with it as long as they do a good job keeping out the Bhernmer Rouge psychos. Those people are violent and are completely dedicated to "the cause."
 
I guess I do not really see why the need their guns at an event like this. I doubt anything will get out of hand if everyone has a gun, but I guess I just do not really see the need to bring a gun to this event. It also seems like a bit of a nightmare for the Secret Service guys there.
 
There was a thread on here about the surprising places Republicans have banned guns -- like gun shows, political conventions and Republican Conventions.

The article also touched on places where guns were essentially banned because the host building had banned guns and how surprising it was that the NRA would continue to hold their events in buildings with those types of restrictions.
 
If you want to strip people of their 2nd Amendment rights, due to your property rights, then you need to take responsibility for their lives and protection.

You should be financially and criminally liable for any terrorist or mass-shooter event at your facility.

This is why I do not disarm at movie theaters anymore, even with signs posted --- but I have no problem disarming at football games. Football games have tight security and armed police acting as guards. Movie theaters have a sign on a window.
 
Every time you think the Republican race can't be any more appalling, humiliating to everyone associated, and sink any lower, they find a way.

But if they could manage a brokered convention where Trump and Cruz supporters open fire on each other, maybe, just maybe, they might finally have established a floor that they can't outdo anymore.
 
I don't think its a good idea , lets say if protestors show up and things get violent someone maybe lose it in that stressful combat situation . Politics bring the anger out in people

The petition starters might be trolls. The problem is, I can't tell.
 
How ironic would it be if Trump was accidentally shot by some redneck at his own rally.

It would be like the Hollywood ending we didn't see coming

Is there, in your mind, even a shred of doubt as to whether there will be adequate security at this year's convention?

Criminally liable for any terrorist? The terrorist is criminally liable for terrorism. What you're proposing is actually Orwellian. Think about that next time you look beamingly at your own av.

If you host an event, and strip a person of their right to defend themselves, by taking their guns... you are responsible, along with the perpetrator, for anything that happens at such event.

Meaning, you should not strip a person of their right to defend themselves.

I wasn't making my point specifically for the convention, hence my reference to football games and movie theaters. In a broad sense, this is how the law should work.

The law should work that guns should be nowhere near a football game.

What Fn dummy would want guns at football games.

I am not criminally liable for the acts of terror and murder committed by somebody else. I'm not aiding the criminal act by insisting there be no guns at my event. You're out of your damn mind on that point.

So much this. Let us protect ourselves. If you decide that you can hire/use a better, professional source (ie cops at sporting events and major concerts) then go ahead and do that; but then you're responsible for anything that happens there so make sure the cops do their job- whereas a sign sure won't
