Bill to allow state workers to bring guns to workplace passes through committee

116. And there you have the gist of the far right's crusade

While the economy has remained in the toilet, the legislature and Brewer have distracted the citizens, including you, with this stupid fight for more guns. Congrats, you have revealed yourself as an NRA stooge. I would question why anyone would consider more guns a "victory" while the entire state infrastructure crumbles.

Indeed the point of this subthread is that any number of states are turning into the right-wing hell hole that is AZ. The people who are supposed to be improving the state (government) are deliberately torpedoing the economy, the social safety nets, the schools, and so on, but getting votes because they appeal to the gun nuts by declaring that it would be good for professors to wear side arms in the class room. And said gun nuts lap up Fox "News", hate radio, and NRA propaganda and regurgitate it just as if it were the truth.

Finally, Brewer's 55-42 win is a landslide by any measure. And I am allowed to infer that a state who elects a corrupt, lying, sociopath in a landslide is thoroughly misguided in its priorities.
