President Trump spoke at CPAC yesterday and offered a defense of the NRA while noting the futility or even counter-productivity of “gun free zones.” MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell thought he spotted some hypocrisy in the whole scene:
Trump condemns gun-free zones at CPAC.
CPAC applauds wildly.
CPAC is a gun-free zone.

Because Maryland State law requires it.
Maybe if you'd get that hammering sound in your head checked, you could read a book and educate yourself on State law? https://t.co/wwmwv2B89U— Austere Scholar (@MrZimpy) February 24, 2018
That's because of Maryland state law. come on, you have 25,000 people like and 11,000 retweet your tweet when you're being completely disingenuous. https://t.co/xZvXGKR7om

In fact it’s a kick in the teeth to the entire liberal narrative on gun control:
That's Maryland law, not CPAC policy. Maryland has very strict gun laws, which explains why Baltimore is the safest city in the country… #Moron https://t.co/fVUeMQNvhx
