Quoting Russell Coker (russell@coker.com.au):
That doesn't necessarily end it. The next step is a petition on the White House petition site for Obama to issue an executive order permitting "protected persons" to request that they have no gun exclusion zone. If all the republican contenders request that guns be allowed I think that the Secret Service should be compelled to allow that.
On the one hand, I really wish the request were granted. ;-> On the other, it's really a foregone conclusion that the current administration will make no comment whatsoever and leave Secret Service security matters in the hands of the Secret Service. Concerning the three remaining Republican Party 2016 contenders[1], two have carefully made no comment, and the other committed equivocal off-the-cuff idiocy on a television programme and then yielded to his handlers' suggestion that he kindly shut up for a change. [1] Well, those remaining before the June convention. If the Trump person fails to show up with 1237 pledged delegates, then the floor is open to alternatives including figures not currently candidates at all. (I'm honestly not sure who's in that particular clown car.)
