Gun Control & RKBA

People tried to make this a thing at the NRA convention, claiming hypocrisy on the organization's part, when in reality (that little thing that so many anti-rights activists like to ignore) was that the venue itself set that rule, and only at one portion of the convention, not the NRA.

In this situation, however, we have the added possibility that the petition was started by anti-gun people trying to make the Republicans look bad. Personally, I think the Republicans do a really good job of that on their own, by, for instance, their candidates. This sort of manufactured controversy is rather childish, in my opinion. Why not talk about the actual issues, rather than trying to create one out of whole cloth...?
