So over the weekend, Mike Pence showed up at the NRA convention in Dallas and gave a speech.  Now, rather famously, people were not allowed to bring their guns into the speech.  Well, no one but the Secret Service.  Now, obviously, I think that’s  reasonable.  It’s a reasonable expectation that people shouldn’t be allowed to bring weapons into a crowded event.  BUT I do have to admit, it’s a pretty hypocritical stance for the NRA to take in light of their constant message in the wake of literally every mass shooting, where they say, rather blatantly, that had more people been armed, tragedy would always be averted.  One more stab in that respective back was Pence, in his speech, telling the crowd of people that it takes a good guy with a gun to beat a bad guy with a gun.  Just twisting the heck out of that knife.
