Security is Important at Political Conventions-But Not in Florida-Bring that Gun to Your Protest

[rrneck]

25. I see

no evidence that you are able to equitably discuss the issue. But be that as it may, I will, in the spirit of intellectual curiosity, offer this:

1. Just because some elected official has opted to have a political gathering in a particular place, the surrounding area should not be designated a "restricted rights zone" in terms of firearms or any other constitutionally guaranteed right. It is a public space, occupied by the public. Enhanced security is available for those attending the event, and that should be adequate.

2. There is nothing on god's green earth the keep somebody from showing up with an AR-15, a shotgun, or a Ford F-150 and terrorizing the crowd no matter what the law says. The enactment and enforcement of such a law is a waste of public resources better put to use providing better education and health care to people who need it.

3. Any attempt to tell a bunch of Republicans they cant bring a firearm to the GOP convention would be a partisan political nitrous oxide/steroid injection. Why don't you just deliver fifty tons of red meat for them to chew on?

Give it a rest for fucks sake.
