32,000 people want to bring guns to RNC

"While Ohio allows open-carry, the venue’s ban is permitted by state law."

So much for conservative advocacy of “states’ rights” and their ‘respect’ for the rights of private property owners.
 
All the better to protect themselves from SEIU-BLM-ACORN thugs.
 
‘The petition’s author, known as N A, finds fault with the policy, calling it “a direct affront to the Second Amendment.”’

Nonsense.

Second Amendment jurisprudence acknowledges the fact that the Second Amendment right is not absolute, it is subject to reasonable restrictions by government:

“Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA v. HELLER
 
Pointing to an article that ranks Cleveland among the United States’ most dangerous cities and mentioning “the possibility of an ISIS terrorist attack,” the author said the Republican National Committee and the Quicken Loans Arena are putting people at risk.

“Without the right to protect themselves, those at the Quicken Loans Arena will be sitting ducks, utterly helpless against evil-doers, criminals or others who wish to threaten the American way of life,” the petition reads. “All three remaining Republican candidates have spoken out on the issue and are unified in their opposition to Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s “gun-free zones.’”

‘NA’ is certainly the typical ignorant, hateful, delusional republican – nothing but slippery slope fallacies, demagoguery, and lies.
