Governor Mead signed HB 194 “School Safety and Security” into law. That same day, he vetoed HB 137 “Repeal Gun Free Zones.”
I applaud the first, and decry the second. As a pro-life, conservative, Christian, I am just fine with people carrying firearms into schools and into government meetings.
That doesn’t mean I’m any less pro-life. Hand guns are not built to kill people, but to defend them from being killed. Designed so that their size and weight makes them easier to carry, they are more likely to be nearby when there is an imminent threat of grave bodily injury. For those rare but real situations, the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
