We're the Only Ones Legislating Enough

The California state Senate voted 28-8 Wednesday to exempt itself from the pointless gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the populace. Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal protection, and the masses ought to wait until the police arrive. [More
See, all those bad things they say guns do, well, evidently not when they control them.

And if this seems kind of opposite to original intent, well, just understand such people refer to their policies as "progressive." Assigning reverse meanings is what they do.

UPDATE: It is pointed out in comments that this story is from 2011 and that this part of the bill was amended out.

Typical... Legislators always exempt themselves... After all they see themselves as the polit-bureau, or that is what it was called under communism...

Of all the stupid, senseless anti-gun laws the PDRK inflicts on its citizens, this is the WORST insult to Kollyvornia gun owners they could have done.

That story is from 2011.

Not a good sign, even then, but not current events.

And that part of the bill was amended out later.

Texas legislators recently tried to exempt themselves from certain restrictions too.

Caused some heated discussion in the chamber, not sure how it ended.

Therefore the People must hold them accountable first by ballot; next by public shame; and in the event of unrepentance ... by increasing the amount of lead in their diet ...

Thus is a Republic maintained and balanced.

Laws should apply equally to all citizens of each state. There should be no exceptions for state employees of any category - police, fire, legislator, court employee, etc. Either you have full rights of a citizen, or you do not.
