    Tucker Carlson is a conservative who is on Fox News. He was on with Cokie Roberts, so Tucker's opinion was not NPR's.

    I'm pretty sick of all the news.........especially living in Indiana, where the news is all excited about "our" governor being chosen for Trump's VP.........asshole that he is. (Pence, that is. Oh.......and Trump too.) Pence has made some horrible choices.......

    What I find ironic is the mayor of Cleveland wanted to have the concealed carry law stopped during the convention. But no. they won't do it. (There might not even be enough time to do something like that). But wouldn't it be funny if the republicans ended up reaping what they sowed??

    Still a big batch of NPR portentousness. I've been hearing more of the same on other shows locally, and we can probably expect more.

    Although concealed carry law wasn't stopped for the mobs outside the castle, I think it was for the convention itself. Something to do with insuring the safety of the people attending.

    Should anyone have the ability to nullify a law just for the hell of it?

    I find it interesting how gleeful my local progressive community is at the thought of potential open-carry/concealed-carry problems at the convention. It's almost like they can't wait for the blood to flow. It's usually one of the first "thoughts" out of their mouths at conversation.

    Well, it just seems like we should have a little flexibility at reasonable times......considering the use of guns these days, and the numbers of atrocities that have happened.

    Q: Historically, how many Republican conventions have been held in open-carry states over the last, say, 50 years?

    Q: What do the violent crime statistics look like, over the that time period?

    Q: Do we have rule of law? Or do we interpret laws day-to-day based on our feelings and whatever social media trends are sweeping the infosphere?
