Strange as the NRA doesn't allow personal weapon for those attending their conventions. Trump does not allow any weapons at his rallies and Congress does not allow weapons for visitor.
You have been misinformed. The NRA's statement on legal carry at the Lousiville convention is below:
During the 2016 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, lawfully carried firearms will be permitted in the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC), with the proper license in accordance with Kentucky law. Firearms and knives will be prohibited in any areas temporarily under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Secret Service. When carrying your firearm, remember to follow all federal, state and local laws.
Please note that under Kentucky law, concealed firearms are prohibited in areas primarily devoted to dispensing alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption, and loaded firearms are prohibited in any room where alcoholic beverages are being sold by the drink. Alcoholic beverages will be served at some events at the Kentucky International Convention Center (KICC), in certain areas of the KFC Yum! Center, and in some smaller venues.

As the presumptive Republican nominee for President, Trump is currently under the security umbrella of the Secret Service. They would certainly not allow weapons at the events, so his beliefs are moot. I suspect he would concur.

Why don't gun owners and gun sellers take responsibility for the destruction

I guess that South Carolina club shooting last week end was also a "mass shooting"

No, but you sure seem to claim the need to control others to get through your own.
