<p dir="ltr">I'm trying to think through how this would actually work. Even at their angriest, they would remember the guns are deadly force and so wouldn't fire on anyone they don't think is about to fire on them, right? So to get something like a bar fight with guns going, it seems like first you would need to physically separate the groups (which may naturally happen) so they have clear targets instead of not knowing who near them is on what side, and then you would need to light fireworks or something to confuse the groups into thinking they're being shot at. It doesn't seem that hard to do (and perhaps to get away with: putting tape-covered small objects here and there, walking a safe distance away once that's done and the groups gel out, detonating the fireworks via remote, and then escaping with everyone else fleeing the scene), but I wonder if anyone would go to such lengths to sabotage the GOP convention.</p>
