Cheyenne Mayor Marian Orr says that while she is a big supporter of the Second Amendment, she opposes a bill in the legislature that would repeal gun-free zones in public buildings across the state.
The mayor says her opposition to Senate File 75 is not about being against the ability of state residents to carry guns in public buildings, in fact, she says she would be fine with allowing people to carry firearms into Cheyenne City Council Chambers. |

| Subdivisions of the state must yield to the state. That's just the way it is. The 10th Amendment reserves powers to the states, not to their subdivisions. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
