Whom Are They Trying to Protect?

January 18, 2017

Last January I said that tweeting is like a puzzle; it makes you work to put a clear thought in only a few characters. A friend suggested I try Twitter, but I don’t feel up to it. So I  thought I’d try a few here about some issues here in MO.

1. Eric Greitens elected governor of Missouri by promising to protect gun rights; first act is to ban guns from State Capitol

2. Legislators who made laws allowing anyone with a pulse to carry a concealed weapon, and who are trying to force colleges to allow guns on campuses, are the only ones allowed to carry guns in the State Capitol. (OK, that one’s a little too long for Twitter.)

3. MO legislator offers to lend guns to citizens who aren’t allowed to bring theirs into State Capitol building

4. Wife of gun-rights defender Greitens held up at gunpoint, fortunately not hurt

5. Citizens outraged that St. Louis has the highest violent crime rate in US should go live in Capitol building in Jeff City where it's safe
