Unfortunately, I no longer own this useful volume, and I do not remember the title. But I do remember one sentence, written in connection with the adoption of Browning firearms design by various European militaries during the period 1920-1940 "Everywhere the Nazis turned " the quote ran "they found themselves confronted by the ingenious products of the Mormon gunsmith, John Moses Browning."

Sure, if you don't live in Utah. Even the quoted Democrats were mostly concerned it was not necessary rather than disgusted. They carried or had guns themselves.

Do they ever get voted down? Has a proposal to make tomato the state canned soup ever met heated opposition from chicken noodle partisans? State flags and songs have a use. The rest seem the work of bored people who realize "I'm a state legislator. If I submit a bill so pointless that no one can find any point in opposing it, then it will become enshrined in the laws of the state." I can think of one instance when this was done very well.

It's some of our fellow humans that don't want to trust us with priesthood, gonads, and guns. The problem of evil is strictly a human problem. God does not have a problem of evil. He knows that, in the end, the temporary evils of this world will be swallowed up in the greater good of the world to come. And we, too, will come to learn that Eve and Adam made the right choice.
