Shoot the minority

Why the Governor believes it's ok to sign into law a gun law where some people who have hidden mental problems are allowed to carry concealed weapons into the general population. The governor knows the danger of such a law but still can protect himself by banning weapons in the very building where he is. In the western days, even the sheriff didn't stop people from caring their guns in the sheriffs office (only places guns were definitely not allowed is the courthouses and churches). Guns were allowed everywhere else. If Governor Dean want to bring back the wild, wild, west, somebody need to tell him how to do it. The wild, wild, west attitude definitely isn't the answer to fighting crime but a license to shoot more unarmed minority people to death and claim the "stand your ground" excuse. Instead, the governor should sign a bill that will bring high-wage job creation and affordable healthcare. This is the people's choice. Governor, you work for us and not the other way around.
