"THE HOUSE of Representatives convenes this Wednesday in Concord to adopt deadlines and rules of operation for the next two years. While the rules of the House typically produce little fanfare for the media, one proposed rule change could have a significant effect on safety and security in the State House."
"The Republican majority in the House has proposed removing the current ban on carrying guns and other deadly weapons in the House chamber and the visitors’ gallery."

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
