For thee but not for me.

The California state Senate voted 28-8 Wednesday to exempt itself from the pointless gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the populace. Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal protection, and the masses ought to wait until the police arrive.

Because, ya know, gun control works. I suspect they know damn well the crap they're pushing is gonna piss a lot of people off. They are hedging their bets. They want guns to protect themselves from, not criminals, but the voters.
