A shift
Tam on Jan Brewer’s veto of extending carry said something that struck me as, well, pretty important. Says Tam:
Arizona’s Republican Governor Jan Brewer, who dismayed Democrats by never meeting a gun law she didn’t like, finally met a gun law she didn’t like.
Did you catch it? You see, today the phrase ‘gun law’ means a law that is good for gun rights. A few years back when used in conversation, it typically meant a restriction of some kind.
Winning.

Here’s a copy of her veto letter: http://www.azleg.gov/govlettr/50leg/2R/HB2729.pdf
I was really hoping that she would sign it, given her background against gun control, but it looks like she doesn’t understand the concepts. She’s only pro-Second Amendment as long as it’s politically convenient for her.

I still default to the old paradigm so Tam’s phrasing threw me for a loop.

Brewer vetoed campus carry last year, also. She hasn’t been very gun-friendly since she hit her term limit.
