If it is a contested convention, imagine Trump supporters on the floor.

If their guy doesn't win it on the first ballot it is going to be all out war. Hope they are smart enough to make everyone check their guns at the door in Cleveland.

It could be quite a fight inside as well.

I plan on hiding that whole week. Stock up on groceries, make sure my cars are full of gas and go to and from work, nothing more.

Like the NRA, the Guns-Everywhere-Republicans don't want guns at any large gathering they have.
