“People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right.' Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work." – L. Neil Smith, The Probability Broach

By Sen. Jeanne Combs
“As one who is familiar with LB 454, the concealed handgun statute enacted by the 2006 session of the Nebraska Legislature, I believe that the City of Lincoln’s debate over whether the community should “drop out” of the provisions of the act are premature at best. Guess what? LB 454 specifies no provision for a local governmental sub-division to essentially void the bill within their borders.”
