GUN SUIT BAN PASSED HOUSE

. . .Remember Mark Foley's gun suit ban? It passed the House last week. Read this article from law.com' newswire. The article doesn't mention Foley by name, but it appears to be his bill, and right now I can't get on to the House's website to do the fact check.

As someone who thinks that constitutional argument outside of courts should be encouraged, I'm happy that Foley and his ilk are attempting to advance a constitutional argument, in the abstract at least. As someone who thinks that businesses should be held responsible for dangerous practices, I find the bill appalling. See the San Francisco Chronicle article here.
