A bill that would have barred Nebraska towns and cities from enacting stricter limits on guns than state law allows was pulled from the legislative agenda on Monday after facing stiff opposition from the state's two largest cities. Its sponsor, Sen. Mike Hilgers of Lincoln, withdrew it to work more on legislation that he hopes will bring the city of Lincoln and the League of Nebraska Municipalities on board. He said he's running out of time to fix his gun bill's language this year because lawmakers expect to end the session early next week, but he intends to bring it back early next year. |

Cowards.
It is precisely because of the attitude of those cities that such legislation is critical |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
