| Utah's guns in CM Monitor | | Date Created: May 11, 2004, 03:22 PM |
 The Christian Science Monitor has a story on Utah's fascination with guns. In particular, the story examines the clash between the University of Utah and state legislators. The university says it does not want guns on campus, despite a state law that says you can carry a concealed weapon there if you want.
According to the story: "To Utahns and many of their big sky brethren, the Second Amendment words about a "well-regulated militia" - not just "the right to keep and bear arms" - point to a treasured heritage. Moreover, in a place where two rural towns once voted on whether to become "UN-free zones," and where trust in government runs as deep as the shallow pan of the Great Salt Lake, guns represent something more."
And Governor Walker, a Republican moderate, is surprised that state republicans declined to nominate her for this year's election? |
