Well now, isn't this just extra special? 
Someone please remind me why the hell I ever moved here?

"Indiana soon will have an official state rifle to go along with the state tree, state stone and state flower.
The Indiana House voted 78-2 on Tuesday to declare the Grouseland the state's official rifle. It is one of only six remaining long rifles made by famed Hoosier gunsmith John Small in the early 1800s. The measure, earlier approved 48-2 by the Senate and headed to Gov. Mitch Daniels, makes Indiana only the third state with an official gun. Utah became the first in March 2011, when it honored the Browning M1911 automatic pistol, followed in April by Arizona, which chose the Colt Army revolver."

Can we fund our schools or fix our roads, please? And stop legislating about class basketball, creationism, our favorite guns and how to sing the national anthem?
Didn't think so...
Even the Indy Star has complained about silly season from the Republicans (after they applied the "right to work" wrecking ball to working families, of course).
