An amendment to remove a reference to firearms from Carroll County’s disaster and emergency ordinance was passed by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday without discussion.

The decision to change the ordinance was made to avoid conflicting with Second Amendment issues raised by a Georgia gun rights organization.

The action eliminates the word “firearms” from a list of items whose sales could be suspended in case of a local disaster declared by the county commission chairman. The wording was questioned in a Jan. 18 letter, hand-delivered to commission Chairman Marty Smith, by James Camp of Temple, representing GeorgiaCarry.org.

These things have been promoted by the left for nearly a hundred years.

Just like when old west towns forbid firearms in the city limits. It was illegal then and it is illegal now to usurp any amendment.
