Campus-gun bill dies in Senate

"A bill that would allow some students, professors and administrators to carry guns on Arizona's college campuses is dead - at least for this year, said its chief sponsor, state Sen. Karen Johnson."

Though my hard-working colleague has decided not to run for re-election, I have no doubt that we will see this bill again. Whether or not you support this idea, the situation does highlight the fact that political backbone seems to shrivel every other year, in conjunction with the election cycle. What a sad state of affairs!
