In its infinite and schismatic wisdom, our dearly beloved legislature and their unthinking, wacky, right-wing supporters want to do what they despise from the left. They want to do explicitly what they falsely claim President Obama has done: 1) pass H.B. 114, which (it has been warned) will most assuredly be declared unconstitutional (under virtually all approaches to applying the U.S. Constitution), and 2) use Utah taxpayer money to enrich a few of the revolving-door law firms (whose attorneys or their allies circulate in and out of Utah government positions and use these positions to get, for their law firms, Utah State legal business) by paying them several million dollars to fruitlessly defend said bill.
To such, I throw your own advice back in your pallid, catatonic faces: Don't pass an unconstitutional bill. Instead, get private donors to use their own money (charity) to, through legal and ethical means, politic to prevent any gun legislation you dislike and/or to privately challenge any gun legislation in the courts.
If you are determined to do what you claim and hate the left for doing and thereby can't manage to do the right thing and pass H.B. 114, please hire me to defend your unconstitutional bill. I'll charge two thirds of what you will pay your pals. My appellate brief and argument defending the bill will be as scholarly, tendentious, and polished as the several-more-millions-of-dollars brief you'd have your buddies present. And, I will get the same result: H.B. 114 will be declared unconstitutional (but with a million-dollar savings to the taxpayers).
