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.
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.

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.
Oookaaay, hope that looks better for you than Crowley, in the end. You brought up "God," I said "God's," metaphorically, you assigned whatever meaning in your own world in your own head.
Yeah. You speak your mind. There's plenty of cognitive dissonance in there.
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.
