Aug 27, 2001 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA GUNS Could it be that Republicans really DO believe in banning guns? The Utah Republican Party meets this weekend -- and vice President Dick Cheney will be the keynote speaker. But some gun groups were threatening to demonstrate against him -- because the Secret Service wouldn't let delegates carry their concealed weapons to the event. The agents wanted gun owners to leave their weapons in their cars -- even though the weapons are legal and properly licensed. The Utah Gun Owners Alliance was incensed -- and announced plans to boo the vice president. But now they've pulled back. Because there's a compromise: gun owners will leave their weapons in storage lockers just outside the metal detectors before the speech, and then, after the speech, they can retrieve them. And that satisified the Utah Gun Owners Alliance. They see it as a VICTORY for gun owners. They do? It's a gun ban! It's government agents forcing you to disarm. And the Vice President, apparently has not problem with it. I thought the Attorney General was pretty clear. He wrote the NRA that he believes the Constitution creates an individual right to keep and bear arms. And I've heard gun groups say repeatedly that you're SAFER in a room full of people with guns than a room full of people who have been disarmed by the government. Because then instead of having maybe ten agents protecting him -- the vice President would have maybe 200 armed delegates protecting him. But instead the Secret Service will disarm law-abiding gun owners! When a politician preaches gun rights, but then surrounds HIMSELF with a gun-free zone -- isn't there a word for that? CC
