Senate approves bill banning use of tax dollars to advocate for gun control

Somebody using their own money can lobby for or against gun control - individuals don't receive appropriations from the legislature So this law only applies to public agencies using money appropriated from the legislature.

Holland threw the gun control out as a red herring. It isn't an issue. Read the bill and then tell me if it is.

Letter: Sweet deal

Can you really say Wicked is making an investment when they want my money to do this?

Again, where is the problem? Without it being defined you were able to articulate what it is. Show me a situation where it would be necessary to further define gun control beyond its common usage and meaning. What would be a gray area?

What tax dollars,are currently being used? I would agree it it were happening that it would be inappropriate.

Not really. Gun control is pretty straight forward. Point out a grey area.

And since it only applies to money appropriated by the legislature its scope is pretty narrow.

But I am open to challenge - provide a situation where not having it defined would create a problem.

George can you give me an example? I see responsible drinking ads and not drinking and driving ads but no publicly funded ads against alcohol.

The bill doesn't define gun control but if you read the bill it really isn't necessary to define it.

Editorial: Gun law costly

And how many reports of people with a gun have reported in the last year? A CC holder most likely will not be displaying their gun anyway so if someone is call the cop nothing stops the cop from investigating.

Not true. England's violent rate is higher. We have more gun violence but they have more violence.
