You're the Republican governor of a state that has an opposition party super majority legislature.
The Legislature sends you a bill that outlaws Ugly Weapons.

Sorry I did not originally make the opposition party point

Thanks BK

People should have the right to buy ugly firearms if they want.

And you didnt mention that the majority was a different party

if i were governor i would do what is in the best interest of my state and my citizens as it pertains to the State and Federal Constitutions. Therefore I would veto any bill involving any encroachments on the 2A, regardless of what the legislature may or may not do in return.

And vote for Gary Johnson.

Acording to GC ADVOCATES ALL GUNS ARE UGLY.

Even predestined to an override, I would veto the bill and make the b******s own their own malfeasance. Just because the dark side is going to win this round, that doesn't mean I have to join up!

Put up your dukes! Dem's fightin' woids!

 

[IndyDave1776]

Are these dukes good enough?

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

My first inclination was to veto. But if by comprimising, I could affect changes that in the longer run would make it easier to purchase, carry, and enjoy shooting by a larger segment of the popularion, it might be worth it in the short run. Knowing that this set back might create more enthusiasts in the longer run conceivably would make this ban "temporary".

So, the will of the people means nothing?

I'm not asking to be confrontational.

First option is useless, second seems spineless. Third at least gives you a possibility of some lesser evil. . So as much as it makes my skin crawl, work within the system.

You, as elected executive, cannot unilaterally add "riders" to a bill. The legislature would have to pass amendments. And, given their hostility, that is unlikely. Maybe the Supreme Court will reinterpret the meaning of "ugly."

According to the bill, who decides what is "ugly?" The electorate should be made aware of this, and of the required "ugly rationing board" and of the creeping "ugly" definition that will eventually include their arms (especially those with bingo wings).

Anyway, who wants to shoot an ugly gun? (This from a Ruger p-series owner)

You bring this up a lot. Their will would mean more if we lived in a pure democracy. Right now the "rights of the minority" are supposed to remain protected from the masses. That's what the Bill of Rights is all about. 51% of the population should not have the power to deny the rights and property of the 49%. There is a certain process that is necessary to change it.
