My 80yo mom was on a cruise ship traveling from Vancouver, BC to southern CA and they took her metal fingernail file away from her. She was indignant about it, of course. Like an old woman in her 80s was going to hold up an entire cruise ship with a fingernail file.

If the ban on firearms is "good enough" (or "appropriate", "required", etc.) for the NRA, it's good enough for the rest of us. Enact gun legislation!

OUTLAW guns..(yes, CAPS). Enough of this horrible state of affairs.
Fire all the police in this small town. Remember folks, this could happen to you!

I'm sure the residents thought their police would protect them and their children.
Total failure on all counts. No press conference will bring back these victims and no excuse for the behavior of the police. NOTHING!

As the sign in the OP indicates, the ban for 2 hours today is the Secret Service's decision. Their jurisdiction is wherever one of their protected persons is located.

From the NRA Website:

FIREARMS POLICY FOR THE NRA ANNUAL MEETINGS & EXHIBITS

During the 151st NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, personal firearms may be carried in the George R. Brown Convention Center (GRBCC) in accordance with Texas law. When carrying your firearm, always adhere to all federal, state, and local laws.
