Utah's Gun Appreciation Day

Then I vote that we never proclaim a state or federal anything connected to an individual. That way no one can ever be offended when we try to honor someone who added to our culture and our nation and our freedom. Gotta make it fair. So let's repeal Martin Luther King day to start with. We can move on from there. Definitely no state firearm because everyone knows that guns are evil and if you don't believe that you are obviously a moran. Browning should be shot posthumously for even thinking about designing a gun, let alone being honored for it. The last thing we want here is any pride in our nation or its accomplishments or the people who brought them to be.
 
really, there are only FIVE or SIX official state things that are needed:

a state flower
a state tree
a state bird
a state flag
a state motto

maybe a state insect (I'm not convinced this is really necessary though)

and definitely a state dessert (though I'm not really sure any state has figured that one out yet)

well, this is instructive, apparently 4 states have named an official state dessert: Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, and South Dakota

Here's a link to a list of official state foods FYI:

Can any of you name Utah's official state fruit? snack food? vegetable? historic vegetable?
(btw, possibly another first - Utah seems to be the only state with any sort of official state historic food item)

Why? What makes a state bird, flower or tree necessary?

at least you're not questioning the importance of the official state flag, motto or dessert ;-)


anyhow, no real reason other than I figured all states already have official state flowers, trees and birds so their legislators wouldn't be wasting time discussing these issues


by the way, do Oklahomans tend to be fat? they have 10 official state meals (including BBQ pork, chicken fried steak and sausage & gravy) plus a state pie (in addition to a state fruit and a state vegetable, but after all that other stuff, why bother?)
and North Carolinians seem to be very bipartisan - they have an official red berry and an official blue berry

Didn't look it up. But is the Sugar Beet in there somewhere? EDIT: Yep, it's out state's historic vegetable. I think I actually know most of our State's official stuff.
