A breakthrough may be happening in South Carolina’s move to incrementally restore Second Amendment rights.
In past history, some Second Amendment supporters have seen the Senate Judiciary Committee as the place where the Senate leadership places bills to restore Second Amendment rights to die.

This clown is my state rep he was and is Democrat lefty.
dspite his RINO labels I worked on a buddy’s campaign to unseat him a few years ago but the SC state GOP sold us right down the river thus he’s been allowed a full reign of terror such as this.
Seems like a lot of the turncoats who switched to R in SC are pigs. At the time you appreciated it but it’s past time to take out the trash.
