    Now Trump is backing off of his arm everyone in bars line as the NRA comes out and says that's not such a good idea.

    Bar owners have never even wanted their bouncers to have guns.

    Simply that those lgbt organizations have had twitter accounts for a long time are not doing so.
    The other fake organizations materialized after Orlando with only a few tweets, and zero followers. like this one.

    That's most likely because it might make customers feel nervous to see an armed guard at the door. Just the sight of a gun is likely to offend some people.

    I went down to my city's vigil for Orlando that took place on the street outside one of the largest gay bars. There were lots of people and lots of armed police officers providing security.

    They don't carry concealed weapons either.

    Every club and bar around here has a strict no weapons policy, for customers and employees. If a patron takes out a weapon, their policy is to call 911 and let the trained professionals take over.

    Flashback Interview: Trump Defends Gays from Clintons in 2000
    Jim Hoft Jun 18th, 2016 8:21 am 373 Comments

    Back in 2000 Donald Trump was interviewed by the gay Advocate magazine. This was after eight years of Bill and Hillary Clinton in the White House.
    Donald Trump in 2000 defended gays from the Clintons.

    Here is the Advocate interview from 2000, via Prntly:

    Last fall Donald Trump shook up the political world by announcing he was joining the Reform Party, a major step in exploring a run for president. The pundits laughed, claiming that the real estate mogul knew more about glamour than politics, but Trump made a number of television and personal appearances that showed his proposed candidacy was no joke. Privately, friends speculated he was bored with the real estate business. In January Trump published The America We Deserve, which outlines his vision for the nation. Anyone who thinks his candidacy is a joke, he says, should read the book. For moderates in the Reform Party, Trump has emerged as their best hope of stopping Pat Buchanan from winning the party’s presidential nomination. With his name recognition and record in business, Trump could prove a wild card in the presidential race, appealing to people tired of politics as usual. Recently I put a wide-ranging set of questions to Trump concerning gay issues, to which Trump responded in writing. His answers might surprise some pundits, both for their thoroughness and for their bluntness.
    Are you serious about running?
    Yes, I’m quite serious. Washington is in gridlock, and nothing is getting done. No health care reform, no tax relief, no campaign finance reform. The special interests run the country. I think it will take a nonpolitician to break the logjam. Somebody with a big-picture outlook. I’m someone who has built a billion-dollar business enterprise and created hundreds of thousands of jobs. I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it’s time America was run like a business.
    Why should gays and lesbians be interested in you as a presidential candidate?
    I grew up in New York City, a town with different races, religions, and peoples. It breeds tolerance. In all truth, I don’t care whether or not a person is gay. I judge people based on their capability, honesty, and merit. Being in the entertainment business — that is, owning casinos and … several large beauty pageants — I’ve worked with many gay people. I have met some tough, talented, capable, terrific people. Their lifestyle is of no interest to me.
    Would we see gay people in a Trump administration?
    I would want the best and brightest. Sexual orientation would be meaningless. I’m looking for brains and experience. If the best person for the job happens to be gay, I would certainly appoint them. One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don’t go into government. I’d want to change that.
    What would you do to combat antigay prejudice?
    I like the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation. It would be simple. It would be straightforward. We don’t need to rewrite the laws currently on the books, although I do think we need to address hate-crimes legislation. But amending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans — it’s only fair. I actually suggested this first, and now I see [Democratic presidential candidate] Bill Bradley has jumped on the bandwagon and is claiming the idea as his own. [A bill to amend the Civil Rights Act that would have included protections on the basis of sexual orientation was first introduced in the 1970s. — Ed.] Let me tell you something. Bradley is as phony as a $20 Rolex. He says the president ought to have big ideas. His last big idea — the 1986 [Tax Reform Act] — caused a recession and cost thousands of people their jobs. This guy destroyed the real estate industry, and he tanked the S&Ls. It was a disaster. Bradley walked out of the Senate like he was some kind of statesman declaring that “politics is broken.” The truth is, the voters were going to dump him in New Jersey. He walked away. Now he poses as some kind of outsider. What a joke. Bradley was a member of the Senate Finance Committee and a longtime part of Washington establishment. When I was $900 million and my companies were $9 billion in debt, I didn’t walk away. While others were declaring bankruptcy, I clawed my way back. My businesses are now bigger and better than ever.
    Are your gay employees allowed to be out?
    Everyone makes a personal choice. Look, it just doesn’t matter to me. I try to treat everybody equal and fairly. Maybe that’s why I can count men like Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Sammy Sosa as my friends. When you hang with people who are different from you, you get an appreciation for other cultures.

    Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton continues to take donations from regimes where they lash and murder gays.

    Trump's poll numbers are falling, for the first time since he started running last year. [​IMG]

    I have yet to go to a dispensary that did not have an armed guard. The one where I usually go, one guy has a Glock and the other has a revolver, a .357 I believe, never once made me feel uncomfortable and I've never heard anyone complain or mention it.
    guns and alcohol never mix well, so no guns in bars makes perfect sense.

    Dude Donald Trump has a very mixed record on gay rights, and recently expressed support for the first amendment defense act which would expose LGBT to more discrimination, and he said he would appoint Supreme court judges who would be committed to overturning the recent court ruling on marriage equality.

    Sounds to me like he changed his tune in the intervening 16 years

    I say that only because when I was a security guard for off-site filming projects from Hollywood, my co workers would bring their guns with them to work in certain locations. Some of the film set people would get upset and give them grief about it and ask them to put them away because they didn't like seeing them. I personally don't feel uncomfortable seeing guns either. And yeah I too agree guns and alcohol don't mix. I wouldn't dare touch a gun after a couple drinks. However I have seen armed guards for certain nightclub venues before.

    The worst thing that could possibly happen is if someone dispatched Mr. Trump and the republicans ran a legitimate candidate against Hillary.

    [SIZE=14pt]Authorities: Man at Vegas rally said he wanted to kill Trump[/SIZE]

    LAS VEGAS — A man arrested at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas told authorities he tried to grab an officer's gun so he could kill the candidate, according to federal authorities.

    A complaint filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Nevada charges Michael Steven Sandford (19) with an act of violence on restricted grounds. He's expected to appear in court on Monday afternoon.

    Authorities said Sandford went to a Trump rally on Saturday at the Treasure Island Casino and approached a Las Vegas police officer to say he wanted an autograph from Trump. The report says Sandford grabbed the handle of an officer's gun in an attempt to remove it, and was arrested.

    Sandford told officers he had been planning an assassination for about a year and was convinced he would die in the attempt. He said he also reserved a ticket for a Trump rally in Phoenix, scheduled for later in the day, as a backup.

    He told authorities that he went to the Battlefield Vegas shooting range the day before the rally and fired 20 rounds from a 9mm Glock pistol to learn how to use it. Police detectives who visited the range spoke with an employee who confirmed that he provided Sandford shooting lessons, according to the complaint.

    This was certainly a disturbed man and a disturbing thing to happen, but let's remember that Trump is the man who wanted guns everywhere with no gun free zones at all. Imagine his rallies with everyone armed.
