Official Alaska State Firearm

Seems the Alaska Legislature has nothing better to do. While it's nice to have Wasilla regain the epicenter of stupid back from Fairbanks, one would think that there's gotta be something, anything else more serious in state business than codifying obsessive gun fetishism:

JUNEAU, Alaska - Alaska would have an official state firearm under a measure introduced by a Wasilla Republican. Sen. Charlie Huggins' bill would reserve that title for the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 .30-06 caliber rifle. - Read more: Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - Bill would name official Alaska firearm

Nevermind the health and welfare of constituents: Sen. Huggins keeps earning his "pro-life" cred and "A+" rating from the NRA, which in Alaska is worth much more.
That said, Alaska still does not have an official state amphibian... I say nominate the political toady.
