"Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona is asking Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to veto legislation that would overhaul the state’s concealed pistol permit application process, citing a provision that supporters say has been mischaracterized."
"The bill would 'weaken current protections for victims of domestic abuse and stalking' by allowing some individuals subject to a personal protection order to obtain a CPL, Giffords and a group of 21 other female leaders wrote in a letter to Snyder." ...
"Sponsoring Sen. Mike Green, R-Mayville, told MLive last week that the PPO language had been blown out of proportion and is 'one small portion of this huge changeover.' ..." ... |

Perhaps Ms. Giffords ought to be examining the reverse side of the coin she's peddling. What if voters were to demand all "pubic advocates" be "preemptively" subject to increased scrutiny of all of their activities for illegalities ? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
