Some Politicians Get It

They passed a law in Georgia that allows concealed carriers to carry heir guns into certain places like bars, churches, schools, and government buildings. One group criticized it as “guns everywhere.” But is that a real criticism? “Guns everywhere” can be a GOOD THING, if the guns are in the hands of good people. After much publicized mass shootings lately, some states have called for more restrictive gun laws (as if criminals obeyed laws!). But others opted for allowing people to carry their guns in more places. Of course, this was fostered by Republicans, giving Democrats something to criticize. Democrats aren’t smart enough to do it. The law still allows people to control their own property, allowing churches and bar owners, say, to ban guns from their establishments, thereby creating places where armed criminals (who obey no laws) are invited to come in and shoot it up, so it’s not a perfect law. They note that schools have been “gun-free zones” for a long time, but have been targets for gun-toting criminals. (Town Hall)
