"Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona is asking Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder to veto legislation that would overhaul the state�s concealed pistol permit application process, citing a provision that supporters say has been mischaracterized."
"The bill would 'weaken current protections for victims of domestic abuse and stalking' by allowing some individuals subject to a personal protection order to obtain a CPL, Giffords and a group of 21 other female leaders wrote in a letter to Snyder." ...

| Perhaps Ms. Giffords ought to be examining the reverse side of the coin she's peddling. What if voters were to demand all "pubic advocates" be "preemptively" subject to increased scrutiny of all of their activities for illegalities ? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. � Alexis de Tocqueville |
