“I didn’t realize that so many people here in our corner of Rhode Island were so passionate about guns,” a nonplussed Calvin Ellis told the Wall Street Journal. Bless his heart. It’s safe to say, though, that he his three fellow Exeter town council members have now been thoroughly educated on that matter. That’s because, as RF relayed, 80% of the town council – Ellis included – stand to lose their jobs in a recall election today because they voted to transfer their shall-issue concealed carry licensing authority to the state’s may-issue attorney general. As resident Letitia Davis told wsj.com, ”Our rights are at issue here—our Second Amendment rights as well as our rights to be listened to by our elected leaders.” We’re listening, Letitia. And watching. You go girl. [h/t SZ]
Most likely a public that the media willfully did not inform.

You mean, besides you, you gun-grabbing enemy of the Constitution?
Thanks marktwain.
This is another example of “the banality of evil.”
Oh, IOW, what Paine in the Neck said up there.
Exeter Town Council members survive recall attempt
EXETER, R.I. — Exeter residents came out in force Saturday to soundly defeat an attempt by gun-rights advocates and others to unseat four Town Council members who had asked that the state take over issuing local permits to carry concealed weapons.
According to the ABC news site, the recall failed by a lot.
