[h=1]Kansas Law: No More Government Money Promoting Gun Control[/h]
The governor of Kansas has signed a law that prohibits local governments from using taxpayers money to promote gun control. They may not produce or distribute any kit, pamphlet, booklet, publication, electronic communication, radio, television or video presentation that is related to gun control.
They may not hire lobbyists, either.
Gun control promoters say this is an infringement on their constitutional right to take money from taxpayers and then use this money to promote their own agendas. One local official protested.

Critics of the bill argue that the bill comes dangerously close to violating the First Amendment rights of cities and towns that want to see changes in state or federal gun laws. Mayor Mike Dever of Lawrence, Kansas, told the Associated Press that he is frustrated with the states concealed carry law and now worries about to what extent he can challenge the law.
It kinds of creates an interesting dilemma for local government agencies, when they feel strongly about something and have to be careful, Dever said.
