Knives are banned at Tampa’s GOP convention, but guns are OK

Correct. You have a right to ‘arms’. The fact that Gov’t has implied it as merely a gun, is a tragedy.

Sounds right to me. The guys with knives would be at a terrible disadvantage against the guys with guns in any likely mass kill-out at the GOP convention.

So banning the knives will discourage the knife fighters and likely lead to a more peaceable convention.

Of course I expect to see some campaign buttons reading:

Once knives are banned, only outlaw delegates will have knives

The dem protesters don’t worry Tampa or the RNC it’s the conservatives and the Tea Party, we might ask hard questions.

[TigersEye]

I see no mention of cannon.

as usual the miami herald demonstrats why it it dumber than USA Today for idiots. The CCW permit includes knives so if the person is a permit holder the “holding” is legal.

This is just the pro castro commies of the old miami pushing a red neck meme in order to try and provoke a riot.

Makes perfect sense. Hunting knives carried on a belt slice the heck out of upholstered seats. Restaurants in deer hunting regions know this. Guns........no problem. Knives......leave in the truck.
