Politics As Usual

Monday afternoon, all the Senate gun bills will be publicly put to death in the House Veterans Affairs Committee (Kill Committee). This will include a repeal of the magazine ban and a bill for constitutional carry. Still, if you have the time I'd like to invite you to come down to the State Capitol on Monday, March 7th, and join us for the 1:45 hearing in Room 271.

Really, someone needs to take up the cause of rapists, muggers, burglars, and new-high-score wannabes. It's bad enough they run the risk of meeting a CCW in the course of their work without the added risk of the intended victim having enough ammo to compensate for the possibility of multiple assailants or an excess of adrenaline. The high score competitors have it good in that their targets, including schools, are designated target rich environments gun free zones. Allowing CCW holders to carry in schools puts the high score competitors at risk of getting stymied at or near the front door.

Someone please bring a balaclava and come on down to the capitol to plead the case for these endangered souls.

40% chance of rain on Monday, so what else you got to do? Best way to get there is by bus as there is little or no parking within a mile or so of the capitol. Getting in is much like getting to your airline boarding gate so don't bring small pocket knives or nail clippers. Unless you are a lawmaker, the capitol is a gun free zone, just like your kids school except it has multiple armed guards at every entrance.

Why didn't they remove the metal detectors and security checkpoints after the new gun-control laws went into effect 2 years ago? Aren't we all supposed to be safer now?

Are you turning into one of those Sanders-supportin' tree-huggin' hope-n-changin' hippies? Why do you hate capitalism?!

Every correct-thinking meat-eating gun-toting Tea-partying conservative is supposed to promote cars, not socialist transportation.

Report to the nearest Ayn Rand Re-Education Center for proper attitude adjustment, where your eyes will be clamped open Clockwork Orange style, while you are bombarded with non-stop viewing of Fox News and those incredibly awesome Atlas Shrugged movies.

"a repeal of the magazine ban"

Instead of working to repeal the magazine ban, perhaps RKBA groups should be working to apply it to the police -- i.e., no government employee exemption. It would make for more interesting hearings, rather than re-hashing the arguments we lost 3 years ago.

The Dems are reminded every election that there are a lot of dissidents out there. We're lucky they don't issue machine guns to the police.

As to taking public transportation, I don't particularly care for it, but the powers that be have conveniently neglected to provide for parking for anyone but the elected officials and their staff.
