More from the minipenis crowd again.

FORT WORTH Some Republicans heading to the state GOP convention here next week plan to bring something they havent in the past their long guns and black powder revolvers.
Leaders of the movement to make open carry of guns legal in Texas are asking supporters to attend the Texas Republican Party convention and tote their long guns or pistols outside the Fort Worth Convention Center.
And theyd like any delegates, alternates or guests to carry their weapons inside the convention as well.
All delegates, I urge you to open-carry the whole time, Kory Watkins, a coordinator with Open Carry Tarrant County, posted on Facebook. I will be a delegate with my AK 47. Thomas Jefferson would be proud.
Not so fast, city officials say.

I KNEW there was a way to reduce Republicans' numbers! The genius here is they are doing it themselves! YES!
Plenty of TV coverage, please, please.

they should drop bullets!

If flame throwers aren't "firearms", then you really don't understand the 2nd Amendment. And they get to find out if the local Fire Marshall is a "Gun-Grabbing Commie"!
Sure, there could be unfortunate accidents, but you know, hammers are dangerous too.
