I have a Rant.
Lately I've come across news stories that just don't tell you what is going on. Here is an example in full.
JACKSON, Miss. – The Mississippi Supreme Court says it won't undo a circuit judge's order that's blocking an open-carry gun law from taking effect.
Justices say they made their decision for procedural reasons, not on the merits of any arguments.
Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd handed down a ruling this past Friday that blocked the gun law from taking effect on July 1.
Attorney General Jim Hood filed papers with the Supreme Court on Monday, asking justices to undo Kidd's order.
Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith was among those who asked Kidd to block the law.
A panel of three Supreme Court justices on Tuesday denied Hood's request. That means Kidd can hold a July 8 hearing to decide whether to extend his order.
No where that I saw does the story tell whether the law was pro-open carry or anti-open carry. If I missed it, let me know and I'll retract this rant.
Here is a link to the story.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
