Bill vetoed by Republican Mark Gordon, who expressed concerns about separation of powers, also covers government meetings
Archived version: https://archive.ph/Sjath
The bill he vetoed would have allowed concealed carry in public schools and government meetings.
So it would have put him in danger.
I can see why it was veto’d.
I was just trying to provide additional information. The article title was ambiguous about if the law were designed to allow or deny guns in schools.
I’ll be fair to him and assume he didn’t veto a pro-gun bill because he’s afraid for his personal safety.
I want to believe he just couldn’t live with the blood of future children on his hands. I don’t know if that’s the case but that’s what I want to believe
Apparently he could! I didn’t previously know this but it turns out that the President can do whatever they want and it’s not illegal
Gordon signed four other bills concerning gun rights. One prohibits credit card processors from using firearms or firearm-related merchant category codes and prevents the government or private entities from keeping any registry of firearms through use of a firearms code.
The other bills prohibit red flag gun laws from being enforced or implemented in Wyoming, amend regulations to have those who have had firearms rights restored eligible for a concealed carry permit, and create an account to reimburse school districts for costs related to possession of firearms on school properties by school employees.
Gordon also ordered state officials to consider allowing concealed carry in the Wyoming Capitol and other state buildings.
So he’s made the problem worse still. No tracking of terrorists, allowing terrorists to get their guns back, and allowing those terrorists to be in the Capitol legally with a weapon.
Nope, he did the right thing to protect the rights of his state’s citizens, and I applaud those decisions. Freedom and privacy are fundamentally related and should always be protected.
Yeah, why have red flag laws? Ensuring psycho neighbors can still have guns regardless of what they’ve done and who they are is a great idea. Lol
Freedom to go fucking nuts with a gun! This is America!
Wild. I was just conversing with my gun-nut uncle who literally owns 50 guns in Southern Virginia. Even he actively wants a federal regulation around gun safety, background checks, etc. How people are fine regulating speed limits, alcohol consumption, prescription drugs, etc but NOT literal death machines is just bizzarro to me.
There HAS to be regulation of guns. People keep saying to me, “but cars kill more people, people use inanimate objects to kill others all the time.” Yes they do. And you want people like that to have unregulated access to GUNS on top of that??
Guns only have one purpose, to kill. That’s what they are designed for. I’d sooner have a rabid hyena with acid for saliva running freely about my house than ever own a gun for any reason.
Clearly as a society we are willing to restrict freedoms in many ways for the sake of safety. We lock you away for certain crimes, we prevent you from driving a vehicle unless you pass certain tests and that can be taken away if you misuse it. The real question is what makes guns so special that we should short circuit all this reasoning and just say ‘no restrictions ever because freedoms’ regardless of the cost of that stance.
That’s just a plain old strawman argument, because no one has said “no restrictions ever because freedoms” as you stated. We also clearly have a multitude of complex gun laws on the books in the USA that restrict those freedoms already. You should learn about those and how they work, and and how poorly they are enforced by the law enforcement staff of the USA.
Found the fucking coward 😂
You wish you had the kind of courage that I do.
I have ambivalent feelings about that.
I’d like to see somebody float a bill to allow firearms to be carried without restriction in the U.S. Senate and House. Not just the members, the people. After all, it’s the people’s house isn’t it MAGAts? Bunch of flaming hypocrites, it would never make it to the floor and you’d never hear about it.

Great news.
So there is hope
For the population of Wyoming, at least. Which is about a couple dozen people living in an area larger than the UK.
Well I’m glad Mark Gordon did something respectable and decent, even if it was for the wrong reasons. He should have vetoed such a bill on the grounds of it being an immoral act of sickness to carry a weapon around like it was a toy, he should have vetoed it on grounds of caring about humanity, he should have vetoed it because people with guns are accidents looking for excuses to happen. We’ve seen that millions of times.
I’m just glad for once that someone did something good when it comes to gun control, even if it had to be someone from the inhuman and execrable state of Wyoming.
Tbh, I’m impressed. It doesn’t take a lot for certain politicians to impress me anymore.
I’m just glad he did the right thing, but I’m unimpressed with his reasons for doing so. He never mentions the sick horror created by people with guns in the first place.
Agreed. It’s a very low bar when Joe Biden is an acceptable Democrat.
Joe Biden is my top candidate and a person of far better reputation than most other human beings. My campaign contributions to him have been pretty enormous, and will help ensure a return of him to office. You are right, we do need more people like Biden in office.
I never said that. Gods help us.
Of course you didn’t, because you’re a dumb c#nt and I couldn’t expect you to say anything decent. God will help us who are on Biden’s side, and shit like you will rot in hell where you belong (you’re already there dear, your brain is steeped in it).
Oh and do have yourself a very nice day.
Thanks for showing your true colors.
ETA: if anyone doubts Biden is a fascist, as are his supporters, here is your proof of the average Biden voter.
I definitely have seen yours and described them accurately.

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?”“From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.”
In my view only fools believe in such nonsense and in any sort of religious ideology. Religion is utter nonsense invented to pervert the minds of three year olds and make them sorry if they misbehave or question authority.
Me, I’m all about speaking my mind and questioning and not just laying back accepting whatever I’m told. God is dead - it is the year One, and it’s time for Anti-christ itself to spring forth in all of its glory! And I will be there to usher it in.
