Looks like the legislature has the numbers to override.
This is a tough one because it’s good for local government to control their turf, but then the lefties come in and muck the place up with crazy laws and corrupt officials.
Three powerful lobbies, each one made up of government parasites.
Local governments can easily become local tyrannies. It is why it is important for the Bill of Rights to apply to local governments.
Wait... you sound like you’ve given the governor’s insulting claim some credit... that the State can’t protect its citizen’s liberties from the power of local governments? Nope! The only time in the history of America, in the history of how many millions of acts compelling behavior that a governor says, “Well, maybe the State should cede authority to local governments” is when local governments strip their citizens of liberty. Bull.
“Local governments can easily become local tyrannies”
School boards across the country are great example of this too.
Amazing how deep the stupidity runs as to the futility of “gun free zones”. A sign on a post or a door etc. alone announcing a “gun free zone” is nothing more than an invitation for a maniac to kill more effectively.
Why is Gordon sucking up to Cheney?????????????
Politically safe and effective. The representatives needs to be called out on this one. This was by design.
Notice how these politicians can put on their “Constitutional Scholar Hats” whenever they need to or punt it to the courts whenever that gets them their preferred outcome.
And the pussy governor folded like a K mart suit.
Gordon is not a really a conservative-and unfortunately other than a few exceptions WY doesn’t tend to elect a lot of really conservative leaders but more what have been called moderate/traditional democrats a few decades ago
In some ways conservative ideals prevail but when you have a state where a large portion of the economy relies on state and federal grant money being shuffled around you get politicians who can do favors more so than ones who will do what is right
“Local governments can easily become tyrannies.”
Chicago suburbs loaded with them. Scum like some HOA boards.
you do know that the chamber of commerce is against constitutional carry and supports gun free zones....
Just so you know the bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts real stance on this issue
“Local governments can easily become local tyrannies.”
The first time I read it, I thought it said, “Trannies” and I was thinking does it ever stop?
hree of the most powerful lobbies in the state combined efforts to kill this bill.
The teachers union out moneyed them got to know where the real power is.
Kickback for votes is the number one prize on the table.
It's no longer representative government for the people, it's for the money.
More RINO BS from the rockies.
>Gordon is not a really a conservative
Incorrect, he’s QUITE ‘conservative’. He’s “conserving” the status quo.
Hence why, like Capitalist, the ‘conservative’ moniker is absolute garbage. And, yet, the Right wear it like a badge of honor *hands head*
What one gets voting in ‘conservates/Republicans’ over Constitutionalists (like ‘Free Markets’, it is...or is NOT. There’s no middle.)
The Rights LOVE to utilize the Lefty lingo & thus concede the debate from word one.
Yes it’s a big club and were not in it you have to be connected to be in it.
