guns

Wow, Senator Thune from South Dakota wants to pass a law that will allow people from states who allow individuals to carry concealed weapons to be permitted to carry those same concealed weapons in the cities, parks, playgrounds, malls and streets of states who have made the carrying of concealed weapons illegal.

Senator Thune feels in the case of concealed weapons each and every state does NOT have the right to stop an American citizen from his/her right to bare arms. In this case, says Senator Thune, the Federal Government knows best.

BUT, when it comes to states which DO NOT recognize "same sex marriages", Senator Thune and most of his Blue Dog Democratic colleagues and most ALL of his Republican conspirators, believe each state DOES HAVE the right to deny the law to out of state citizens.

It seems that most Bible loving, Jesus toting, Flag waving, God Bless America politicians find that guns are more important than love. That the ability to arm yourself for perceived boggy men, is more valid than to to place your arm around the person you love and call them your partner. That becoming a personal vigilantly is more valuable than loving the man or woman in your life.

How many more times does the LGBT community have to be reminded that until we are no longer equal but separate, and just EQUAL, that until OUR rung on the ladder is at the same level as any other American; will our lives be more important than the lives of those who can't wait to blast the bad man, or those who want to take the law into their own hands and kill the perceived villain.

I am so tired of waiting for something as simple, as easy as, granted in the U.S. Constitution as civil and human rights for ALL Americans.

So, you can go from state to state carry your weapon, but bring your spouse from one state to another and be denied any and all rights.

Not fair, not right, so wrong!
