Which weapon will be your state's "official" gun?

Is this right gun for your state?

The US is the world's innovator and home of many firsts.  First to to put humans on the moon. First to split the atom, first to drop nuclear bombs on civilians.  But poor old Arizona, the state whose governor is the first line of defense against the huddled masses, the roving hordes who  love El Norte's climate, culture and TV programming so much they risk life and limb trying to get in here finds itself a lowly second in one major US category.

Arizona is close to becoming the second US state to have its official state gun as 40 Arizona state legislators have signed on to a bill that would make the Colt single-action Army revolver the official state firearm. Utah has already adopted Browning’s  model M1911as its state firearm.

John Marshall at TPM asks: "What do you figure your state's official state gun would be? What does Delaware get? And whose state culture gets you just the old style sawed off shotgun? Tommy Gun"

Good question John.  This is an important issue and we should all try to think about which gun should be our state gun.  I have a Ruger 357 Magnum and that might be right for California given Clint Eastwood popularizing the Magnums.  Plus, it would counter that sissy state flower we have, the poppy. I wouldn't think a Beretta Sig Sauer or Glock wouldn't be right for any state though, what with them being  foreigners and all.  Texas could have the 44 Magnum given the manliness of it's famous ex president.

We would open up a can of worms in NYC as the UZI might win the vote there, not because there are quite a few people of the Jewish faith in NYC.  Jews are not particularly pro gun but AIPAC, would lobby hard.

Anyway, this is an important issue that we should all think hard about if we love the state we live in even if we're in a F%#@ked up state.

Damn its great to be free.
