It would be the same thing if somebody started a petition demanding that the anti-gun/gun control candidates we have MUST demand that there be no armed security anywhere at our convention.

Both are equally unlikely to ever happen and both sides are equally hypocritical about the issue.

But I'm sure the originators are slapping themselves on the back and talking to themselves about how very, very clever they are.

Just another example of gun control's emphasis on style and symbolism over action and substance.
