“HATE CRIME” BILL: Gay rights and . . . concealed carry? “Meanwhile, the compromise option is being pushed by a pro-gun rights gay group in Washington, GOProud. The amendment to the hate-crimes bill would allow Americans with concealed-weapons permits to carry their guns across state lines. Congress ‘should pass legislation that will empower individuals to defend themselves before they become another hate crime victim,’ wrote GOProud board member Christopher Barron in a commentary.”

That’s nice, but I think the law should also allow the tarring and feathering of government officials who behave as Canada’s “Human Rights” Commissars have. Failing that, I’d rather it not pass.
