How would members of the Utah Senate feel if one of their family, friends or neighbors was shot by someone who had bought, without a background check, a "Utah-made" gun, and this person was a felon with a history of violent crimes? ("Senate OKs bill exempting Utah-made guns from firearms laws," Tribune , Feb. 3) Would they send their grieving friends and family a sympathy card explaining "states rights"? I really would like to know.
