Guns Not Allowed Inside GOP Convention Perimeter

June 22, 2024 Guns, Republicans

Guns will be allowed within walking distance of the Republican National Convention next month but not inside the event’s inner perimeter, per a security plan the U.S. Secret Service shared at a press conference Friday.

More than 50,000 people are expected to attend the RNC, including the delegates who will formally nominate Donald Trump for president. While some guns are allowed in the event’s outer perimeter, machine guns, other fully automatic firearms and silencers are prohibited.

Authorities “went up to the line” of what the local firearms ordinance allows, Nick DeSiato, chief of staff in the Milwaukee mayor’s offices aid, adding that the same open-carry laws that apply to walking on the street apply to the outer perimeter of the RNC.

Hmm. Guns will not be allowed at the Republican National Convention and cannot be carried within several blocks of the venue. Sounds like the Supreme Court should take a look at that. Isn’t someone’s right to bear arms being infringed?
