[Guns] It turns out there's a new kind of pistol out there and we Americans can't get our hands on it! Well perhaps hand on it, that's because the worlds smallest pistol, the Swiss mini gun has recently been put on the market, but not in the U.S. where it is considered too small for sporting purposes and thus illegal. But hell, I don't know what else you would use to stop a cricket in mid-charge.
The pistol while looking like a toy, actually fires lethal 4.53mm bullets at a rate of about 300mph. Cute but deadly, and I'm sure it comes with just an adorable little holster.
Therefore I think Utah's gun-ho aficionados in the state legislature need to get this thing legal in Utah, consornit! Let's not forget that it is our god-given right to be able to own any and all adorable, miniature but still deadly firearms. (Eric S. Peterson)
[Legislature] It's unclear whether he is preparing for Armageddon, or the coming class wars in which God-fearing men will have to protect their storehouses from marauding bands of poor people. Whichever, Utah Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Lehi, has a proposal for the 2008 Utah Legislature some wags have dubbed the "Annie Get Your Gun Bill."
According to provisions of Madsen’s S.B 157, every man, woman and child will be able to carry a gun on the streets during a “declared state of emergency.” No policeman, mayor, or city council could confiscate a gun, or, in fact, do anything to stop gun owners from “the lawful possession, transfer, sale, transport, storage, display or use of a firearm or ammunition.” Utah’s governor would be specifically barred from interfering with guns. And anyone who had their weapon confiscated could sue.
Madson is sponsoring another bill this legislative session with the suggestive title, “Protection of Constitutionally Guaranteed Activities in Certain Private Venues.” Unfortunately, the bill on closer inspection also turns out to be gun related. The measure would force private employers to allow employees to bring guns with them to work, as long as the guns were properly stowed in cars.
Readers may recall Madsen as one of a group of gun-toting lawmakers who, this summer, had to unholster and secure weapons strapped to their bodies during the middle of what was supposed to be an educational bus tour of Davis County. (Ted McDonough)
