Gun lovers finally can pack heat at Kansas Capitol
Kansas City Star ^ | June 19, 2014 | YAEL T. ABOUHALKAH

Making gun lovers happy, Kansas lawmakers decided Thursday that citizens can bring their weapons into the Kansas Capitol starting July 1.

One question: What are they going to shoot?

The idiocy of the pro-gun movement leads to the conclusion that people have to be armed to the teeth these days to walk anywhere, including in the Capitol in Topeka.

Really?

Kansas lawmakers said that they are going to let people who have licenses to carry hidden weapons to bring them into the Capitol. That will be in addition to the legislators and state employees who already can do that.

This is partly a self-defense issue, say supporters like Patricia Stoneking, president of the Kansas State Rifle Association.

On Thursday, she said it was a “civil right” to tote her weapons around the Capitol.

Again, why would someone need to be defending themselves in the Capitol? There has been no explosion of shootings in the statehouse that would make people nervous about their personal safety there. In fact, there’s no history of shootings whatsoever at the Capitol.

At least for now.

Liberal yappers like Yael will criticize that lawmakers allow guns everywhere except their workplace. So when they allow that, then the yappers go off again.

Can't please them so don't even try.

The abortion-lovers do hate the Second Amendment, don’t they?

Probably nothing. Since this is no longer a gun-free zone, odds are the bad guys are going to pick a different location. Possibly, The Kansas City Star.

They built a fancy building with new presses when everyone was cancelling their subscriptions. Louis Duguid was a vice president because he was a black liberal. He was demoted and now puts together a few lackluster sentences after his wife divorced him and he got cancer. Judge cartoons are pathetic.

They already did. A few years back, the big azz green windows of their printing plant downtown were getting shot at supposedly by passersby on I-670.

Perhaps Kansas law makers have far less to fear from their employers, the people, than they might in some other parts of the country. On the other hand it just may be liberal fear that it’s citizens not the government from which the power properly flows.

How does the saying go? "Shoot the messenger, not the printer."

Oh I don’t know what good it could do - - - - I can’t think of a single instance where an armed individual might have prevented a shooting at a state capitol - - -
