You can’t carry a tennis ball near the GOP convention. But you can bring a gun.

Planning to visit the 1.7-square-mile area in downtown Cleveland where many of the events and protests connected to the Republican National Convention will be held next week? Be sure NOT to take tennis balls, metal-tipped umbrellas or canned goods, which will be banned — but no need to leave behind your AR-15 or other guns. Those will be allowed under Ohio’s open-carry laws.

That a can of tuna fish is deemed more dangerous than military-style weaponry is indicative of the irrationality of U.S. gun policy. Don’t expect a fix anytime soon. The Republican-led House of Representatives is going on its summer vacation without making a genuine effort — let alone taking any action — to inject sense into the nation’s gun laws.

A can of tuna packed with explosives and ball bearings might be far more dangerous than a rifle or handgun. And it can be set off remotely unlike a gun...

Is there a reason you feel the need to bring canned goods to a convention? Gonna cook it on the sidewalk??

Thank god they allow fresh fish or Palin would be barred.
 
Another thing that is fucked up is brass knuckles are illegal. But I can buy a couple rolls of silver coins and make some sick silver knuckles. :) They got another type of metal in the coins that make them strong.
 
Palin has already been barred...

Trump Offers Jaw Droppingly Dumb Reason Why Sarah Palin Wasn’t Invited To GOP Convention

Donald Trump is claiming that he didn't invite Sarah Palin to the Republican convention because Alaska is too far away from Cleveland, Ohio.

Or because she makes all Republicans look bad. I really did like McCain but as soon as he picked Palin I'm like I ain't voting for anyone. Lol
 
She doesn't make trump look any worse. I just love the fact that he's thrown her under the bus, after she's been openly campaigning for him. It's quite revealing or, at least, it should be.
Yeah, they are both pretty bad but Palin is worse other than Trump and his stupid wall bullshit. Might as well give the statue of Liberty back to the French while he's at it.

Holy fucknads. I am shocked. What a bunch of dimwits. Even she is probably too intelligent for the dumb-festival that will be occurring next week. I thought she would have been right in line. It looks like July has become a sort of Night of the Long Knives for the poor, dumb Republican party. The coup is nearly complete. Thank god they still have Anthony Sabato Jr.. political powerhouses such as he cannot be ignored. Is Caitlyn still coming?

I will be there. There is a cool exhibit on the capture of Adolph Eichman in Cleveland. I like to mix the good with the bad. I am still working on my slogans for the protest. It is tempting to go full retard (like the "KEEP YOUR GUBMINT HANDS OFF MY MEDICAID" lady).

Don't be an ass. Palin is OK. The media just did a number on her. I heard it on Limbaugh and at (literally) the Wal-Mart.

Waka waka

The Hitler parallels continue. Uncanny. All we need is a demented Hillary-supporting Muslim to be found with matches at the Capitol fire. But that would be in January after the inaugeration - before the Emergency Powers get approved.
 
Palin is better but only because she is far less entertaining to the rubes and far less capable.
So you want to continue with Obama's domination of the Middle East and Africa?

I don't have a horse in the race personally I might vote for Johnson if he will actually oppose the fake ass war on terror and abolish the Patriot Act.
 
Maybe in a way she is lucking out not going there when all the violence erupts.
She is safer in her Igloo back in Alaska playing with her albino big foot.

Your logic falls apart the moment you realize that you could just as easily just pack a fake gun with even more explosives and ball bearings and a remote detonator which would be even more dangerous due to its larger size and ability to hold more explosives. So if you are saying they are justified in banning anything that could be turned into a bomb, guns fit that category.
 
Cleveland Police Union President: Allowing Guns Near Convention Is ‘Absolute Insanity’
Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, said he had concerns about the safety of officers at the upcoming Republican National Convention on CNN’s Smerconishon Saturday. In response to a question about guns being allowed near the convention, Loomis said, “That’s absolute insanity to me… My concern is for the uniformed member that is out there. They are going to be out there in the trenches.”

Guns will not be permitted inside the Quicken Loans Arena and areas monitored by the Secret Service, but protesters coming to Cleveland will be allowed to carry guns due to the state’s open-carry laws. Items such as water guns, knives, canned food, and even tennis balls will not be allowed near the arena, however. As many as 50,000 people are expected to come to the convention area. There will be about 3,000 law enforcement officers at the convention — the same number of officers expected to be at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia later this month.
