A controversial gun bill passed by state lawmakers is getting calls for a veto. One of Tennessee's big city mayors says local governments could be forced to spend millions of dollars to comply with the measure, or face lawsuits from gun rights groups like the NRA. The controversial bill grew out of the guns and parks measure passed a few years ago by lawmakers that left open a lot of costly questions for local governments.

"“I can also speak as a parent of a child who rides an MTA bus. The idea of folks with guns riding with my son on public transportation terrifies me,” says Joslin Roth."
What an idiot. Does she actually believe that the miscreants and criminals don't carry guns where ever they please?
These laws only affect honest law abiding citizens that are not causing any problems. |

“Local law enforcement should have final say on where guns should be carried, and there should not be a financial penalty.”
No, the Constitution has the final say. If LE doesn't like it, well, that's tough.
“I can also speak as a parent of a child who rides an MTA bus. The idea of folks with guns riding with my son on public transportation terrifies me.”
Permit holders who don't drive can't be arbitrarily denied their right to carry arms while using public transportation. That is patently unconstitutional. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
