re: #142 lawhawk

The one part that the gun nuts always seem to ignore, and the politicians always seem to sneak in is that when they talk about open carry, it’s always everywhere but the place where the politicians work. You can’t bring guns into the legislative office buildings and capitol buildings of those states where open carry is on the books.

Can’t imagine why that’d be the case? Oh wait, it’s common sense. The law enforcement and politicians agree that open carry would create too much of a risk to those in those office buildings to secure them properly, and the politicians don’t want strange folks entering their building with guns.

That they can do so everywhere else? That’s not their problem - 2d Amendment and all that nonsense.

What makes the legislative buildings any more or less important than the department store, mom and pop shop, or other businesses/restaurants for safety from heavily armed folks entering? It’s that these politicians don’t value those lives nearly as much as their own.

Not to belittle your point, which is well-made and updinged, but I’ve always thought that was kind of obvious.
