No state law can change this. The fourth has been dead for TEN YEARS next month, it is nothing short of naïve now to believe that it will get any better.&lt;p&gt;There are lots of nice places to live in the first world where the government hasn&apos;t gone totally insane. Move there.</text></comment>

This is a constitutional right. If we accept this bill as the norm then its no longer a &quot;right&quot; and just a permission by the govt that can be rescinded at anytime.</text></comment>
