Utah lawmakers have proposed a bill to make the Browning M1911 pistol the official state gun. Of course, it is controversial but only if you are a gun control advocate, which I am not. The founders of our United States saw fit to protect its citizens with the Constitution and subsequent Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment protects our rights as citizens to defend ourselves and this right also protects all of the other rights enshrined in the Constitution. Exploiting the attempted assassination of Rep. Giffords by a mentally ill person by working to put into place stricter gun controls is ridiculous. All data points to gun controls increasing crimes, especially home invasions and rape.
I applaud my new state for not giving into the absolute hysteria of the gun control crowd. Bravo on having a State Gun, adding to the other 24 state symbols!
