“Johnson’s 16-year old brother Andre was killed in a gang related shooting in Dalton last summer.”
Don’t be in or associate with gangs. Gun availability had nothing to do with is death.
That would be up to those ‘private property’ wants. If they don’t want people carrying guns there, thats up to them.
It's called burglary.
Happened to me here in Homestead. 19 year old gang banger broke into my house while I was at work and stole a handgun. He was caught committing armed robbery with it and was subsequently charged with armed robbery, drug possession, carrying a concealed weapon and grand theft (handgun cost in excess of $1K) It was his second offense for drugs and guns.
BTW, the judge gave him probation on the drug charges and he walked on all the others. I called the state attorney's office and asked them if they waiting for him to commit a 'real' crime, such as murder, before they sent him away.
Guns ain't the problem. The system is broke.
“New scorecards released Thursday by the “Brady” Campaign say Georgia scores just 9 out of 100 points in it’s efforts to limit violence.”
It’s scored like golf, right? Low score actually wins?
Gun control is firm stance, solid grip, clear sight picture, and breath control.
Lock and Load.
ping!
You guys down there in Georgia have it pretty good! Here in Minnesota we actually have to buy them
I'm sorry that Johnson's brother was killed, but Johnson is an idiot if he thinks any gun law would have kept his brother from being shot.
Criminals are by definition people who do not obey laws, and gun laws are only laws, not guarantees that criminals won't obtain or use them illegally. It is strict gun laws that keep honest, law abiding people from owning guns, but those same laws also make those law abiding people helpless unarmed victims of armed criminals who laugh at the well intended but poorly thought out laws forbidding or severely restricting possession of guns.
I am unalterably convinced that incalculably more innocent people have been killed or injured because of gun control laws than have ever been saved from death or injury by those laws. If common sense and rational thought prevailed on that subject in the minds of the voters instead of irrational fear and emotionalism, that fact would be recognized and most gun laws would be either repealed or the legislators who support them would be removed from office at the next election.
The bill is DOA in the Senate.
Look at Kennessaw, GA. Most everybody is armed and you don’t hear or see about prolonged gunfights.
