Lawmakers are pushing a move to allow guns on board city buses.
Right now, it is against the law even for people with concealed carry permits.
"I don't believe that the second amendment stops at the steps of the city bus,” said Senator Kyle Loveless.
Loveless is proposing to change that with Senate Bill 397.
"I think people should be able to defend themselves, if they have a license to carry, they should be able to carry onto a city bus to protect themselves,” he said. |

*sigh*
It's the same old approach, and it's wrong, wrong, WRONG.
Any time a question is posed beginning "Should people be allowed to....", it starts from the wrong premise. We in the U.S. aren't "allowed" by government to do things, we have the RIGHT to do things, and the question should rather be posed, "Should government have the power to...."
Thus saith the PHORTO. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
