3,000 knives confiscated at NRA convention before Trump speech

[SecularMotion]

The National Rifle Association is an organization of moral mutants masquerading as defenders of “freedom.” The specific freedom they’re eager to defend, of course, is the freedom to arm oneself to the teeth with a range of military-grade weaponry, regardless of the inevitable consequences to the life, liberty, happiness, and other freedoms, of everyone else. These are the goons who will rush to push their agenda and fight any hint of reasonable regulation while the blood is still wet on a classroom of gunned down 10-year-olds. They care about nothing but themselves.

So it’s only logical that this past weekend the NRA invited Donald Trump to speak at their annual meeting and gunapalooza in Louisville, Kentucky. Trump delivered what the Lexington Herald-Ledger called “a collection of unsubstantiated claims and fantastical promises.” Along with his usual shtick about building a “great wall” and “winning again,” Trump ginned up the gun-hungry crowd by claiming that Hillary Clinton would attempt to “abolish” the Second Amendment.

Security was tight with Trump around, which makes for an odd contrast at an event celebrating the erotic appeal of the machine gun. Unlike the rest of the convention, weapons weren’t allowed into Trump’s hairspace — not even the humble knife, a tool that’s been in use since man could chip rock. Many attendees were apparently unaware of this as some 3,000 knives (and presumably a few bayonets) were confiscated at check-in. A volunteer who helped collect the knives said the precautions were demanded by the Secret Service.
