The firing pins need to rest so they can be used to protect the children in school buildings.
 
Are they taking them out from guns people bring themselves or just the ones they're selling?
 
I think all guns. Since Ted Nugent will be there, you can't risk someone helping him to fulfill his promise of being dead or in jail by now.
 
I figure having a large crowd of armed people who dream of getting to use their weapons on a hypothetical bad guy is bad for security. I mean, if Person A draws a gun and starts shooting, and Person B shoots him, Persons C and D might have an incomplete picture of the situation; it's a crowd, shots rang out, and they see B shooting A and assume that B is the attacker. So they shoot him, and then others notice C and D shooting B...
 
That sounds like a feature, not a bug.

Isn't that part of the entertainment value of these events, though they do sacrifice the replay ability...
 
OMG someone tell the NRA that there own 2nd Amendment rights are being violated by the NRA and that the NRA should change the law. Stat !
NRA along with the GOP have gone full idiot mode since G.W.Bush, Why can America just have reasonable regulation and reasonable gun control instead of this polarized insanity.

I thought that's how cowboy movies go...

On Monday, they took away our firing pins. But I wasn't bothered - I didn't have a gun.

On Tuesday, they took away our ammunition. But I didn't complain - I didn't have a gun.

On Wednesday, they took away our guns. Still I didn't complain - I never had a gun in the first place.

On Thursday, someone stabbed me. If only I'd had a gun to defend myself with! Honestly, I've learnt my lesson. Don't let them take our firing pins.
 
Update: It appears that the NRA is allowing the convention goers to exercise their 2nd Amendment RightsPrivileges to the extent the law allows. Those that can lawfully carry under Tennessee law will be able to carry on the convention floor.

Like, even with all the presidential candidates giving speeches?
 
The arena where the speeches are being given are gun free under state and/or local law. I am shocked that the NRA decided to hold its convention in such a gun grabbing environment. Wasn't there an elementary school or bar available to host the convention?
