Many great things about Utah, including that our legislature sits only part time. Even so, one finds time to propose naming a pistol designed by the state’s famous John Browning, the STATE GUN.[?] Mr. Browning’s amazing talents created many fine guns, several of them of great use to our men in war.
But do we, would you, want your state’s reputation “enhanced” by anointing a state gun – best used to shoot people? For Utah, the Sego Lilly reminds of survival food in famine; the seagull reminds of answer to pioneer’s prayers. But what would the state gun remind us of? That men need weapons to kill each other? Don’t we have enough reminders of that?
