Now I’m quite sure that many of those who have been paying attention to recent news events, and especially those who are strong supporters of our Second Amendment, are well aware of the fact that Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal recently signed into law, this past Wednesday, a bill that will now allow legal gun owners to take weapons into bars, churches and government buildings, albeit under certain conditions.
When word of this new law reached Texas Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee you can well image how it was that her panties were immediately sent into a bunch. Sorry for the visual. And since first hearing about this action, Jackson Lee has since slammed, and nearly nonstop, this new law that expands gun carry rights in Georgia and which was passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature.
The measure, which is due to take effect on July 1, also permits hunters to use silencers and authorizes schools to allow staff members to carry weapons on campus. But Lee told the Houston Chronicle that the Safe Carry Protection Act "is not the right step to take when trying to confront gun violence in America." No, by all means, stricter gun laws are what’s needed, just look at how well they’ve worked in Chicago!
This imbecile then went on to say that it "clears the way for school staffers to carry guns in school zones and lets leaders of religious congregations choose whether to allow licensed gun holders inside." Lee added, "It allows permitted gun owners to carry their weapons in government buildings – including parts of courthouses – where there is no security at the entrance." None of which do I have any problem with.
The Georgia legislature, which passed the measure in March, opted not to allow gun owners to take weapons onto college campuses, but approved firearms in bars unless the business owner objects and posts a no-weapons sign at the door. Churches can allow worshipers to bring guns to services under the law, but are not required to do so. Previous Georgia law banned firearms from churches and bars.
If the recent government siege of the Bundy ranch in Nevada showed us anything, it’s that the more well-armed the civilian population becomes, the better off we will be in protecting ourselves and our country from the likes of Ms. Sheila Jackson Lee and her fellow Democrats. It’s people like this moron who continue to insist that only those who should be permitted to carry weapons are those in ‘law enforcement.’
But having said that, with so many of our local police departments now rapidly acquiring all manner of military style weaponry, I think we would be rather foolish in choosing to relinquish our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. And I’ll tell you something else, with Barry and Holder looking to release all manner of scum from our federal prisons, the last we need to do is to allow ourselves to be disarmed.
