Obligatory better things to do article....

Somehow the Iowa State Daily drew the "legislature is too busy" card in the firearms debate. They actually admit McDonald vs Chicago exists, guess that is a plus. But they claim a constitutional amendment goes "too far!" without saying what "too far!!!11!" is. Some mumbling about forcing the state out of the pistol permit business, constitutional carry, and "OMG! Random potentates can't be dictators." Then we get to the better things to do- Raise taxes now! But lower business taxes in special zones! Brandstad pwned that line of thought last year- 2 year budget and all. Just minor tweaks are all that is required.

I'm trying to figure out how any of this is bad.

I think it is part of the template they are required to use in Journalism 102. 101 is how to cover for any politician with a "D" next to the name.
