SALT LAKE CITY – State lawmakers are debating whether to designate a semiautomatic pistol as the official gun of Utah, despite protests from people who believe it's inappropriate because of recent mass shootings.
The bill to make the Browning M1911 the official gun breezed through a committee hearing this week and is scheduled to be debated by the full House as early as Wednesday.
Republican Rep. Carl Wimmer said the state should have the gun as one of its state symbols to honor John Browning, a Utah native who invented it in 1911.

It is no shock that the anti's, Brady's and PC crowd are against this, but we need to see it done!
The history is far to deep in the State of Utah and the United States. The 1911 has done so much to shape our world through its performance in the military, law enforcement and the general public that it can not be ignored.
The claims about the poor timing with the events in Arizona are just another ploy. The thin skinned, over sensitive and cunning spinsters can always point to a time or event that is insensitive. The century anniversary of the gun's designation and Browning's birthday last week combine to make this the season to release this and push.
