""[It's] utterly ridiculous," Robert Bauman, a Milwaukee City Alderman who proposed adding guns to that city ordinance, told ABC News. "I mean, I could just picture this image of somebody coming up to the entry point with, you know, an AR-15 strapped over one shoulder, a long rifle over another, and two pistols in his belt, and the cops asking him, 'You got any tennis balls?'"
^^I would pay money to see that scene^^
Which one of you lemmings in Milwaukee gonna go show off your 2nd amendment rights? Leave the tennis balls at home, tho!
Cut a hole in the tennis ball, stick it on the muzzle of your AR-15 and call it a silencer. Bet you could smuggle in a number of tennis balls that way
The ATF would like to disagree and kill your dog
What if my dog is my silencer?
As long as you've accounted for point-of-impact shift and paid your $200 tax, you're good to go.
No, I will not and this Davey Crockett tactical nuke in my home museum agrees.
This is a Wasteland 2 joke I do not have a tactical nuke, a silencer, or even a working gun. I do have a 100 plus year old broken revolver though.
You’d have to be out of your mind to go anywhere near this event.
That’s disappointing that tennis balls will not be allowed. Do the people with walkers coat check them in with there guns?
No. They don't have to coat check the guns.
If they’re going to allow guns in the RNC, I hope they at least manage to round up a handful of competent secret service agents, if that still exists.
They aren't allowing them in the RNC, that's the hard perimeter established by the SS.
The soft perimeter surrounding that is where they allow guns but not tennis balls.
That abbreviation is kinda unlucky, ...you know
The incompetent ones are so easy though! You just bait them with prostitutes! :)
but tennis balls will not
Are they worried that Ryoma Hoshi might be real?
This tells me the explosives they found in Crooks’ vehicle were hidden in tennis balls
The restriction on tennis balls is apparently a city restriction that pre-dates the attempt so... 🤔🤷♂️🤷♂️🤔
Aww that’s a lot less silly and therefore less fun (still pretty silly though I guess)
They should be allowed inside the venue. After all, gun free zones are a big problem.
I want the right to bare balls
Not sure if that's what's meant by 'open carry'
I wonder what would happen if someone drove by one of those places and played bullet sounds on their ghetto blaster...
Or the sounds of a tennis match
Republican events and rallies are the one place I support as many guns as possible being there.
They should live their values.
Why tennis balls ? Strange.
trump is a World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Famer
Odds are they are terrified that people will toss a tennis ball around the same way people tossed a beach ball around to "protest" Super Roman (... while making sure to buy every available ticket).
This sounds like a Monty Python sketch or something. It's just so absurdist.
How about a loaded soup-can gauge shotgun?
You kid, but the 2 gauge (not a typo!) "Punt Gun" was a thing! Used for shooting mass numbers of ducks and geese!
both these guys were deaf shortly after firing this
Pretty sure this photo was just for scale, the normal use case was mounted in a small boat or "Punt".
But geeze... these pictures...
Please proceed
Are 4G/5G phones allowed? Because those can fry your brain.
Not sure what the deal is with tennis balls, raquet balls hurt a whole lot more!
They consider tennis balls to be raquetball furries.
