To the editor:
Let me gun-splain why you can't carry a firearm if you go hear President Trump address the National Rifle Assn. on Friday. ("No guns but plenty of protesters expected when Trump addresses NRA convention," April 30)
This is The Man we're talking about, The Donald, Arbiter of the Truth, Sayer of Sayings, not some whiny school kids or uptight church attendees or seedy concert-goers who don't need protecting.
If thousands of good guys with guns tried to save Trump from a bad guy with a gun, the high "collateral" casualty rate could put a crimp in the flow of dollars to uncounted numbers of politicians, and we know they rate higher than a few kids here and there.
