Proposal To Allow Fans To Bring Guns To Stadiums

[MI2AZ]

Lawmakers in Washington state are floating a controversial idea to let sports fans bring guns to the stadium. Under the proposed amendment to state code, private entities that operate stadiums would not be able to prevent people with licenses for concealed guns from entering while armed, reports CBS Sports. In this case, the law would cover CenturyLink Field, where the Seattle Seahawks play, and Safeco Field, where the Mariners play.

Not on board with the idea? The NFL. “We haven’t seen the proposed legislation but we have a policy forbidding carrying a weapon into NFL stadiums,” the league's vice president of communications tells the Washington Post in an email. As the Guardian notes, "there would be obvious concerns about allow firearms into venues with alcohol and where passions can ignite."

Oh boy, I can see a refferee or umpire getting shot when they make a bad call. BANG!!!!!

The problem with all this "right to carry" , "will or will not allow", etc. is that there should be NO laws what so ever. Being born gives us the right to carry a weapon. The constitution and 2A guaranty that that right will not be infringed.

The world is overpopulated anyway. Just bring back public hangings for unwarranted shootings and the idiots will eventually weed themselves out.

Personally, I think the NFL should go fuck itself. The vast majority of these stadiums are built and paid for by the taxpayers, so it is the taxpayers who should decide what they will/won't allow in the buildings they paid for.
