?The National Rifle Association has announced all firearms will be banned from the arena during Vice President Mike Pence’s address at the NRA’s annual meeting on Friday in Dallas, Texas. The announcement has sparked widespread cries of hypocrisy, given that the NRA has for years opposed regulations banning firearms and has championed the claim that “a good guy with a gun” makes people safer. Students who survived the Valentine’s Day shooting massacre at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School slammed the NRA, with massacre survivor Cameron Kasky tweeting, “The NRA has evolved into such a hilarious parody of itself.” Even some NRA members have criticized the protocol, with one self-identified NRA member writing on a message board for gun owners, “I realize it’s the VP, but still makes our whole argument look foolish.”
