Considering mandatory minimums, that's still unacceptable. That's the problem with possession charges. Intent isn't even a factor. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

And this I have a problem with. They've essentially created additional gun free zones that aren't secured. Hypothetical: If a CCW holder stopped an incident by using their firearm in a gun free zone, would they still be charged for possession in a gun free zone? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

That can be decided on the state level if they feel their CCW requirements are adequate. As for no guns in bars, if they truly wish to be gun free, they can search and provide security. I'm very much in favor of any laws increasing penalties on any weapon not used in a defensive manner in bars or other establishments where alcohol is served.

Possible compromise: In exchange for increased background checks for CCW, unsecured gun free zones don't apply to CCW, only open carry.

While we're beating dead horses, let's not forget the government who initially forced lenders to lend to high risk individuals but also shielded lenders from the risk. It's hard to assess risk when the ratings agencies were in collusion with the banks and giving high ratings to what turned out to be junk. And then they had the nerve to claim that their bogus ratings were protected by the 1st Amendment Which all boiled back to the fact that the government, through Fannie and Freddie took all the risk from the companies leading to riskier and greedier actions.

Indeed. That's because they are both very large cities. HOWEVER, the correct comparison is by number of crimes per 100,000 population. When you do THAT, Chicago and LA drop way below places like Memphis, Little Rock, Atlanta, Birmingham, Miami. According to your risk assessment you are safer in a city with 1,000 population where 25% of them get murdered in a given year, than in a city with 1,000,000 population where 0.03% of them get murdered in a year. That is just plain stupid. Where's your cites for your stats? Plagiarist. That's not an original thought or statement either. You plagiarized that from untold numbers of possible sources of plagiarized it from untold numbers of possible sources who plagiarized it... So, unless you start typing your own language, anything you say is basically plagiarized. Actually even if you do start typing in your own language unless you use your own symbols, the letters are plagiarized. OK so you start typing in your own language in symbols that have never been used before ever, then you're OK. At least, until it's translated. this post and its contents plagiarized from an unknown number of different sources Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

History supports their fear... Allow people to be armed to protect themselves or protect them. That's it. Passive or active security. If someone wants a "gun free zone" they need to do more than put up a sign stating it. They must secure it. Search those entering to ensure they have no weapons and have armed security to protect those whom are essentially now defenseless.

(Cough) "Gun free zones" (Cough) Enforce and secure them or allow people to defend themselves. (Cough) Eliminate easy targets.

I think all legal residents, regardless of DNA deserve equal rights when dealing with the government. I don't however believe that should be extended to private businesses or citizens nor in this day and age is it needed.

Inside buildings...but they are allowed on campus, which is what I said. So, if they are allowed on campus grounds, then it is clearly not a "gun free zone". Unless of course this is a private school. Let's see how you and rush now try to move the goal posts. It's an indirect ban. A student or visitor with a CCW can visit the campus but can't take their gun in any buildings. Unless the school is providing secured storage outside each building for weapons the person is only left with four options: 1. Carry their weapon but don't go in any buildings. 2. Break the law and carry their weapon in buildings. 3. Store the gun in their car. 4. Leave it at home.

The last paragraph is the most important. Okay. By that logic, if we had more forced sterilizations (say anyone who has had a child), we would have less homicides. We have existing forced sterilization laws? And the laws aren't being enforced? Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Arguments can be made either way that the civil rights legislation was necessary, but the largest argument for it was mostly economic as the African Americans did not have the purchasing power or voice to affect change economically. On the flipside, those that ran businesses may have felt economic pressure to be "Whites Only" possibly against their personal beliefs. With LGBT, this is not the case. As a "protected class" they have huge purchasing power and equally large voice. One could easily argue that there is no economic reason to not work with that market, alienating them is a bad business decision. So, the argument basically comes down to legislating thoughts and behaviors vs. letting the market decide. Besides, if corporations/businesses can be people and have religion, and people are sometimes sexist, racist, homophobic, then...

Not sure why people seem to think it is the government's job to create a economic market they are comfortable in. Your business market changed, adapt or die is really the only principle at work. If that's true, why are non governmental antidiscrimination laws needed at all? Those that choose to be discriminatory, once word gets out about them are generally finished. Look at what happened with the Wedding cake bakery. News got out and the market decided the behavior was unacceptable and the bakery closed. No need for a law.

I remember reading of another county clerk or might've been a judge that decided rather then issue marriage licenses to homosexuals they resigned/retired. That was a personal decision. Kim is trying to impose her personal decision on others. The only reason she hasn't been fired is because it requires state Congress to do so and they're out of session. FWIW, I have no problems with your decisions you make with your small businesses, but you're also not a government employee.
