The legislatures have created de facto priviledged classes. Originally restricted to minorities and the disabled, this has been expanded in some cases to women, and now to police, lawyers, the insurance industry and the construction lobby - all through the power of strong lobbies and the ability to deliver block votes and cash.

It sounds like this governor has no moral compass on this issue - he's just trying to please all sides and pleasing no one in the process.

But I agree with most posters here. If ordinary citizens can't carry weapons, no one should except uniformed cops.
