Conservatives Ban Guns At Their Own Conferences To ‘Keep It Safe’ By Scott Keyes on Mar 27, 2012 Sign outside Americans For Prosperity convention last weekend in Milwaukee, WI There are a few staples at nearly any conservative conference, whether in Des Moines or Dallas or Denver. Americana songs, often written by liberal musicians, roar as speakers enter and exit the stage. When asked why they are there, attendees explain that they “want their country back.” And “no weapons allowed” signs are plastered on the outside doors. This last element is surprising, considering the conservative philosophy on guns. This thinking holds that the public is actually safer if everyone is allowed to carry guns because armed, law-abiding citizens would dissuade criminals from committing violence. Yet in conservative events across the country, from the Americans For Prosperity (AFP) convention in Milwaukee last weekend to Allen West town halls in south Florida, attendees are instructed to leave their weapons at home.
