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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
