But I thought we were Number 1

by David Safier

I'm still trying to clean up stories I missed because of my trip and the cold I brought back with me (I'm blaming the airplane air recirculation system, not Barcelona).

Here's a story from last week. Arizona got a perfect zero from the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence on its gun safety laws, but we had to share the honors with Utah and Alaska.

And Utah won the honor for “Craziest Gun Laws” because it allows guns on college campuses. We were this close to tying them.

Some folks in Arizona and Utah were overjoyed about the rankings, of course. Next year they're hoping to make it into negative numbers. It would be funny if it weren't true.
