I does seem to me, however, that there was no good reason for the veto. I don't recall any serious opposition. Most people do not care. There would have been no political price to pay had she signed. After the post-Katrina excesses, it seemed like a natural. What reason then would there be other than a mean spirited gesture, or a genuine desire to round up weapons? Either way, it says something about what she thinks of the people - I think any politician's position on the "gun control" issue speaks volumes about he sees other people. I'm sure you would agree that that bit about ammo dumps and forest fires is an insult to thinking people. I did not intend to make a general case against Governor Napolitano - I honestly have not studied it. I did present background, that everybody seems to have forgotten, to make the point that she is a creature of Washington, D.C., and has a long history of partisan activities. You and I are on the same page regarding President Bush. Sammy Alpha J,

I read the full text of the bill and my first thought was, okay, this isn't a bad idea, but don't our legislators have a lot more pressing items on their agendas than this? Janet has shown herself to be a pretty solid supporter of the Second Amendment - better, say, than George W. Bush, who supported the assault weapons ban and actually said he didn't believe "assault weapons" had any place on America's streets. Hypocrisy is a far bigger sin in my book than honest liberalism. You also neglected to give her credit for signing the three-strikes bill, a decently conservative thing for a Democrat to do. I don't agree with nearly all of Janet's policies, but I believe she thinks through her decisions. Something I could not say for a couple of past Republican governors by the names of Symington and Mecham. You want to talk contempt for the people of Arizona? They made us a laughing stock and drove the state into debt through one of the biggest economic booms in history - a legacy Napolitano is dealing with. Do you think the veto of 1425 is going to cost us as much as the alternative fuels swindle? I'll take Janet any day over some of the Republican whackos we've been saddled with.
