The Governor's attemtp to ban guns in State Agency buildings is absurd. To my knowledge there has never been a shooting or threat of a shooting at any of these buildings. This appears to be an attempt by the Governor the 2nd Ammendment.
I understand that some people do not like guns for various reasons; i.e. fear, don't understand or know about them, etc... However, their fear or lack of understanding does not override my 2nd Ammendment rights. Instead of adding another law or regulation, why don't we enforce the laws that are already on the books? Why are convicted murders or people that use guns illegally not penalized more?
Career criminals don't fear jail or the repercussions of their actions, so they don't care about breaking the law. Passing these knee jerk or feel good laws or regulations do nothing to prevent crime.
