    | I want to take this opportunity to publicly thank Congresswoman Elise Stefanik for all the hard work she has done to get reciprocity for concealed carry permits between the states passed in the U.S. House of Representatives. I believe self-defense is a fundamental right. Americans have a right to defend themselves no matter where they live or travel in this country.

    | Why is not a law.  This has been cycling around for too long.  Yes it is nice to pat each other on the back, but if businesses took as long as legislators, they would be out of business.  So, the Deplorables will be working to replace you this election if we can. |

                      | As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms.  However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts.  The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws.  — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |  |  |
