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 |
| "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") |
