Well in Kanss we have the official state bird, the meadowlark, that does little other than make distinctive noises and craps a lot.

A "side issue" on the "state wingding" is that generally, within the state they represent, molesting, trapping, harming, or possessing the emblem is ILLEGAL - often with substantial penalties.

(This, certainly, could cause problems if New York accepts the bedbug as their "state bug," as some have suggested. We hear that almost everybody there has several.)

Thus, of course, people whinging about the "state gun" quite likely are blaming the wrong side for this, as it's really a plot to move on to "the emblem must be protected," thereby banning anyone from having one.
