Lunacy

Sometimes timing is everything.  Look at some of the republicans in our New Mexico State Legislature.  Rep. Nora Espinosa introduces a bill that would require New Mexico to ignore federal gun laws.  Another republican from Ruidoso wants to make it legal to carry concealed weapons into bars.

One really wonders how on earth such stupid people can be elected.  But is is really something we deal with in reality.  Kind of like poor timing.  The massacre of family members in the south valley of Albuquerque will certainly rain on this lunatic parade.

Did these bills ever have a chance of passing?  Probably not.  But the introduction of such legislation really shows off the pandering to lunatics that legislators are willing to undertake in order to hang on to their feeble political offices.

One last comment, if the father of the massacred family did have a felony in his past, why did he have firearms in his house?  There is something very strange with this tragedy.

I hate to seem like I am dancing on this man's grave but he did not store those weapons in a gun safe. The mother in the Connecticut shootings also did not store her weapons in a gun safe. Weapons around children (and 15 year olds are children) is just a tragedy waiting to happen.
