| PHOENIX - The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to let people carry weapons - including guns, grenades, rockets, mines and sawed-off shotguns - into schools, polling places and nuclear plants if they claim they're only trying to protect themselves. The vote on the legislation came after Rep. Ben Miranda, D-Phoenix, pointed out it would bar prosecution of those who want to bring a weapon into the House or Senate. Despite that, lawmakers gave it preliminary approval on a 30-16 margin. But what's in House Bill 2666 surprised even Rep. Doug Quelland, R-Phoenix, who introduced the legislation and shepherded it through the House. He said he had no idea the legislation, crafted by constituents he wouldn't identify, was so broad that it would provide a catchall exemption in the state's weapons laws |
Cause Lord knows there aren't enough guns in schools and nuclear plants!
Remind me never to move to Arizona, OK?
UPDATE: Looks like this idiot was smart enough to kill his own bill. Genius!
| Rep. Doug Quelland, R-Phoenix, pronounced his bill (HB2666) dead one day after it received preliminary approval by the House. "I'm trying to save as much face as possible," Quelland said as he explained to reporters his decision to stop consideration of the bill. |
