“It was a well-written bill,” Tallen told Dudrick. “It needed some attention, and it got attention. (And) it reached a form which really would’ve addressed everybody’s concerns.
“Then it received the poison-pill treatment and was drastically amended on third reading. And so, although it passed the Senate, it no longer deserved to pass the Senate, and at that point the House just turned its back on it and walked away.”
Tallen said an amendment on third reading by Republican Sen. Larry Hicks “absolutely gutted” the bill. The amendment would’ve included giving the state attorney general and governor the power to decide whether or not a Wyoming citizen’s Second Amendment rights were violated. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
