- saimiam 9y agoThese states are also among the most conservative when it comes to gun rights in defense of freedom against a tyrannical government. Upside-down world we live in.
- calafrax 9y agoapparently they have a lot of experience with tyrannical government.
- meric 9y agoIt's the people that demand the gun rights against the government whose state officials vote themselves "protection" from being filmed in public.
- rickdale 9y agoAbsolutely. Look at marijuana. Most people I meet that oppose legalization also oppose the government defining their moral values. It's backwards.
- protomyth 9y agoIt should be pointed out the judges are federal appointments and not local people.
- mcherm 9y ago> judges are federal appointments True > ...and not local people Generally false.
- dragonwriter 9y agoDistrict and Circuit Court judges are very often local people and historically the appointments are strongly influenced by the Senators in the area served (particularly, but not exclusively, when they share a party with the President.)
- velobro 9y agoThese states have always actively tried to impede the advancement of American society so it doesn't surprise me to see them taking such a backwards stance
