Arkansas Fans No Longer Allowed To Bring Guns Into Stadiums

Despite the best efforts of the NRA, gun owners in Arkansas will not be allowed to bring their concealed handguns to Razorbacks football games this year. The Arkansas House of Representatives passed SB 724 this afternoon with a 71-20 vote. The vote came a week after Governor Asa Hutchinson signed HB 1249 into law, which would have allowed concealed carry in places such as government buildings, bars, and college campuses.

The initial bill was so obviously stupid that SEC commissioner Greg Sankey released a statement decrying the bill.
