Guns Not Allowed at Trump's Waco Rally?

Does anyone know if it is true that guns are not allowed at Trump's Waco rally? I saw a tweet that claimed to show a list of things banned from the rally. Included on the list was firearms. Is that information true?

However, that doesn't mean we can't say that the former guy is too afraid of being shot; in Texas, that's for elementary schoolchildren.

You can't bring a toaster, either.

Their crowds seem to accept that fine, but raise mortal Hell because Waffle House forbids guns on their property and they do not see a contradiction in the two issues. There is no applying logic to the far right knuckle draggers and their slimy leadership.

Guns, unrestricted, everywhere, except my events.

That is part of the reason I asked the question in the OP. When I saw the tweet I thought about the fact that guns were not allowed at the NRA convention and Ron DeSantis's victory party, but Republicans did not complain about not being able to bring their guns to those places. However, Republican are always pushing to be able to bring guns to more places and lose their minds when a Democrat attempt to prevent them from bringing their guns somewhere.

Finding a place to plug it in can be a real hassle, but you never know when you'll need some toast and jam while waiting in line to get in.

'The Right Side Broadcasting Network advertised a “free Trump knife” ahead of the rally in Waco, Texas'
-(From the Independent live news feed.)

These are among the tools and symbols of DjT's campaign. Besides the bat and the threatening posts and letters.

But I was allowed to keep 7 jars of jam, 5 jars of peanut butter, and 3 one-pound packages of cream cheese, along with a dozen loaves of frozen thick-sliced white bread.

How can I possibly brew my antidote to right-wing Kool-Aid without my stove?




Freedom, freedom, freedom folks!

That list looks like something posted at the entrance to a day care center........

Anyone else find it strange that e-cigs are banned but regular tobacco cigarettes and lighters are not?
