THE TRIUMPH OF IDEOLOGY OVER COMMON SENSE:
Water guns will be banned at Cleveland's Republican National Convention -- firearms won't be (LAURA BULT, 7/01/16, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS)
Strict RNC rules call for a ban on soda cans, glass bottles, tennis balls, umbrellas with metal tips and "any projectile launcher" like BB guns, paintball guns and water guns in the 1.7-square-mile "event zone" surrounding the Quicken Loans Arena convention site, where 2,470 delegates will gather to officially name Donald Trump as the party's nominee.But pistol-packing protesters -- as per Ohio's lax open-carry laws -- can freely carry in public areas, like parks, within the designated zones around the venue.
