“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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
