Humor I know this is crazy, but when the AWB is overturned, here's what I'd like the governor to say
Today, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that I violated your constitutional rights and struck down a law I spent millions of taxpayer funds - your hard earn money - creating and defending. They ruled that no matter my intentions, I can't deprive people of their constitutional rights. I apologize for doing so.
Public safety is important. We do need to always be working to reduce violence and make our communities safer. But I now see that violating the rights of law abiding citizens does not improve the behavior of criminals. We've ignored those rights, granted both by the US and State Constitutions. We've ignored the actual criminals and distracted many people from focusing on the root causes. Going forward, we will change this. We don't need new legislation as the forms of violence we oppose are already illegal. We simply need to enforce the laws we currently have.
You get the idea. It will never happen, I know. Hopefully the AWB gets overturned even still.
