27 January 2011
Dear Senators Waddoups, Buttars and Dayton:
I will try to express my indignation politely.
Utah's House remains immune to facts and good taste.
Exhibit: the House’s designation on 26 January of an official Utah state Browning firearm.
This act is an embarrassment, but why stop here? Utah's legislature could designate an official Utah state assault weapon or an official Utah state bomb.
I suspect some of our more manly conservatives want an official Utah firearm to counterbalance the Utah state flower: we don’t want to give the impression we are pansies.
A veteran friend with medic experience in Iraq tells me the legislature should have selected the M2 50 caliber heavy machine gun. Browning designed in during and after The First World War, and it is still used today. If the legislature plans to embarrass Utah, at least go big.
I write sarcastically, of course. Sort of.
THE CALL TO ACTION
The Second Amendment is an out of date problem. We should be encouraging the federal Congress to replace it with two updated defense amendments. The legislature should not ennoble the Second Amendment with an official Utah firearm. I urge you and the state senators not to vote in favor of an official Utah firearm.
