Kansans, your state has one of the "craziest gun laws" in the nation. The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence bestowed the dubious honor on the Sunflower State "for allowing guns in K-12 schools," the Wichita Eagle reported.
If that sounds crazy, well, it's possible. Chuck Sexson, the director of the
concealed-carry program for the Kansas
Attorney General's Office, acknowledged that "it's possible" some school
districts could choose to allow concealed-carry weapons in schools
(although he didn't know of any that did). He said the decision to post
signs on school buildings is up to local school boards.
"Most schools around the state have posted their buildings," Sexson told
the Eagle. "So that hasn't changed."
Most?
The Brady Campaign, a national gun-control group, recognized Kansas, Virginia, Utah and Florida for especially egregious gun laws while also issuing its annual rankings of gun laws in all 50 states. Kansas earned the organization's ire for the state's concealed-carry law, which requires that places such as bars, churches, libraries and schools post no-gun signs so that they become off-limits to heat-packing Kansans. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback recently signed a bill clarifying that guns aren't allowed in places where the no-guns signs are posted.
That wasn't good enough for the Brady folks.
"We want to prevent the next Tucson, Virginia Tech or Columbine," Brady
Campaign president Paul Helmke told the Eagle. "It's too easy now for
dangerous people to get guns and to legally carry them in all sorts of
public places."
Maybe the state should have gone in reverse and required places that allow guns to post "guns welcome here" signs.

Guns don't kill people - people kill people, human beings, rather it be with a Gun, or a knife or a baseball bat,, or how about a Motor Vehicle. Take away all the guns, the criminals will still find alternative means to use other weapons, even if they have to resort to making them - themselves. Take candy away from a kid, and he'll just find another way to get it, maybe a different kind of candy, but still the same. Take cars away from the criminals, they'll still drive anyway, they'll just Steal yours !
Well "Bill Kostar" if you want to prevent nut jobs from using illegal firearms for such rare cases, simply allow people to open carry or conceal carry in said places, the nut jobs will not attack when he/she knows they cannot succeed in their evil so easily. People like this pray on those that are not protected, and utilize the fact that firearms are far far away from their evil doing.
How long have you been in the United States? I hope your working hard to learn the English language. Put emphasis on sentence structure.
That show on Remington was written by people who know about as much about guns as toddlers know about nuclear reactors.
LOL, I am disappointed....I wanted my state of Va to be at the top of the list! Dont worry, we are working in Va. to honor the second amendment and the right to self-defense.....and we all know that basic human right is well.....just crazy! Molōn labe!
Want to stop criminals?BAN Hooded sweatshirts and Hooded coats" ,Every Surveillance video shows robbers and killers wearing Hoods.If I see men wearing Hoods I see criminals ready to rob and killJust as criminals use black ski maskswhere is the demand to ban these ?Stop trying to ban our Self Defence tools !When i go into my bank I remove my sunglasses and hat alwaysI'm no criminal.
Administration and staff of schools should be able to carry weapons anywhere on the campus
as long as they have a concealed carry permit.
Remember that gun free school zones force students and staff to be victims.
In my opinion, a person should be able to defend themselves no matter where they go;
In a school, bank, picking your child up from day care, at work, at home, or at a local
bar watching a ball game.
Britain has some of the strictest gun laws in the world. Handguns are illegal. Firearms possession is basically unheard of. Guess what? Britain has roughly 4x as much violent crime as America. More than South Africa, a notoriously dangerous country. Thomas Jefferson had it right: "An unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed one."

it's not the law abiding gun carrying folk you need to worried about. There is a two month waiting period and a pretty thorough background check. The gun toting gang bangers that don't care are the ones you should worried about. the legal ones aren't the ones that are going to pop a cap in your ass.
The Brady Center picks this list by putting a map of the US under Mr. Brady-- the states he drools on make the list
Its craziest gun laws. Guns control groups.

Seriously,,,,,,too easy for dangerous people to get guns/ Got news for you people....They have had them all along.....The only thing stopping them from raping and murdering your momma is the realization that there just might be a law abiding citizen out there with a gun too.......idiot!!!!!!!
You mean Handgun Control, Inc. What is really crazy is using a disabled mans name to further a political agenda that he did not support before his disability. Shameless.
At least the conceal and carry's can shoot. Have you seen a cop shoot a gun? It's laughable. I'm sure we've all read about the van being shot at on 435 after it backfired. How many bullets hit again??? I personally believe these people make us safer than police from dangerous crimes.
Paul Helmke is really tedious. It's time to stop printing the horse puckey news releases the Brady Campaign puts out on a daily basis. Isn't there a "man bites dog" story somewhere out there to report?
A "no guns allowed" sign is really just an invitation. Little or no risk here!
Speaking of gun laws, I saw a show on Remington rifles on tv last night and it said that unlike any other consumer product, the US government cannot force gun manufacturers to recall defective products. Kinda weird and scary, considering that they're probably the most dangerous product for sale to the general public in America. Also, here's an interesting part of the Kansas constitution:
"The people have the right to bear arms
for their defense and security; but standing armies, in time of peace,
are dangerous to liberty, and shall not be tolerated, and the military
shall be in strict subordination to the civil power."
It seems the framers of our state constitution were much, much wiser than the men and women that we've been electing lately.
Gun laws are the absolute best way to get people to prevent people from killing each other with guns. Since killers are so concerned with following gun laws. Makes sense to me.
We need to guns the guns of more and more guns for guns and guns. Guns.
Nice picture of Kris Kobach attached to this article! What could possibly go wrong?
