They canceled the whole thing because of threats.


Incorrect. The changed the venue and the attendance rules. That's not a cancellation, that's changing the rules.



If I have to explain to someone why they instituted ticketed attendance...


And if I have to explain what precisely is wrong with the idea of tickets for a public meeting...well...the gun issue is the least of my worries.

There is NO excuse for it, and nothing can justify it. IOW, don't bother.

I look forward to folks like you screaming when this tactic is misused in a way that you disagree with, for the simple fact that nothing short of that will make you see whats wrong with it. Some of us are actually capable of saying "hey, I know those shoes wont fit" simply by looking at them. Others, like you apparently, must walk an entire day in uncomfortable shoes for the idea to sink in.

So be it.
