Rick Scott allows guns at GOP convention to ‘protect’ citizens from ‘protests’
Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) has officially rejected a proposal by the city of Tampa to limit firearms outside the Republican National Convention in Florida later this year. Last week, the Tampa City Council formally asked Scott to use his executive power to temporarily suspend a state law that prevents local governments from regulating guns.

1. Good grief, with SYG laws this is a recipe for disaster.

2. Now every tiny-dicked Dirty Harry wannabe is free to shoot any protester he sees as a threat.
See George Zimmerman.

3. So how long into the convention until some gun toting GOPer thinks they need to SYG
Against protestors exercising their free speech rights? After all, the history of the Stand Your Ground (which should be known as Shoot First) is that all that has to happen is for someone to "feel threatened". So if some tea bagger feels threatened by the opinions of an Occupy type, they'd probably feel justified in shooting them.
This has the potential to make Chicago 1968 look like a picnic in the park!

And it goes on like that.
Here's what I don't understand: from what we've been told the only violent protests to be seen are agent provocateur police academy cadets dressed-up as black bloc activists.
So, if I understand DU correctly (and who can, really) the only threat of violence would be agent provocateurs throwing rocks at 1%ers while 1%ers shoot their under-educated minions.
So what's DU so worried about?

I think provocateurs will be in short supply....so I guess they'll have to have a lottery to decide who gets to shoot him/her/it/cat/other.

As I pointed out the day before yesterday, I live in a county where all able-bodied adult males excepting franksolilch carry, or have available nearby--and know how to use--a firearm.
The last murder by firearm in this county was in 1907. In the next county over, it was 1898.
But of course this is the rural, sparsely-populated, Sandhills of Nebraska.
How come the primitives are so worried about decent and civilized people carrying firearms, and never worried at all about hooded adopted sons of the Magic One carrying illegal firearms?

Well......one suspects that they well know that decent and civilized people carrying firearms, depending on circumstances of course, generally results in a significant reduction in the number of the hooded adopted sons of the Magic One........

Here's an idea. Don't start anything and maybe you will get to see the sunrise the next day. Protest all you want but you make a grab for anyone or try to assault them then deal with the consequences.

George Zimmerman is? was? a Democrat.

Me thinks this will keep the "mostly peaceful" protestors in line much better than PC police. I bet the protestors will be polite and not physically assault 80 year old women the way they did in Tampa in November.

Don't start no shit and they'll be no shit.
Simple ain't it?

Exactly.
But these are primitives, remember; it may be simple to us, but it's nuclear physics to the primitives.

Hey, why let a little reality spoil the liberal agenda?

Now you're talking! That's great!
And what's even better, SYG isn't limited to guys hung like a democrat.
Repukes can shoot you, too.

Guess you assholes better keep your dirty dick-beaters your yourselves, huh?
Seems like Florida is rapidly becoming the wrong place to try and pull a bunch of stupid shit on civilized people.
