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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
