Florida has made an industry out of selling guns to ANYONE. It is no accident that the Littleton high school shooters got their guns here. In the papers, they already brag about how the feds smacked down the mayor, and how they plan not only to carry guns, but to "stand their ground" against liberals.

Of course, if the GOP shot one of these clowns, they would spin it as A) America hates the left, and B) Romney has to be a centrists since he shot the Tea Party guys

Oh, did I mention that the very week of the convention, the tea Party, led by Ron Paul, is leading a COUNTER CONVENTION? Not one, but TWO batshit crazy conventions for the price of one. I do not intend to leave my house that week.
