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

[rrneck]

47. Ok.

1. Regarding your first point, why the distinction between the two spaces?

One can and should be controlled, the other cannot.

2. True- but even more reason for restricting the guns. Do we need another Zimmerman so we can have weak laws and enable him or her to get off?

Fine lovely and marvelous. See #1.

3. Regarding your third point, they CAN'T bring a gun into the Convention!!!!!

So what's the problem? Oh, I see, the problem is you want to parse the issue into oblivion. From your OP:

From today's NY Times editorial page: "Tampa officials wanted to ban handguns outside the convention hall (the Secret Service has undisputed power to ban weapons inside the hall) but came up against the state law, which imposes $100,000 fines on local governments that try to meet such obvious public-safety needs.

Apparently you were born before 2010 when there was a brouhaha regarding the carriage of firearms to political rallies. You're late to the piss and moan party.

If you actually wanted to see Democrats elected, you'd give it a rest. This OP, like your position, is a politically tone deaf exercise in sanctimonious self congratulation.
