DALLAS May 4, 2018 — The National Rifle Association has banned firearms from its annual convention.

That’s very good news.

The NRA insists that the way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. But even it realizes that 70,000 good guys crowded into the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center might end up killing each other while trying to protect Donald Trump and Mike Pence. (Speaker Ryan, are you ready to take the oath?)

Finally NRA members can stop worrying that the big, bad government is coming to limit their Second Amendment rights. The NRA just beat them to it.
