In reply to the discussion: (GOP) Bill proposes massive overhaul to Georgia gun laws (guns everywhere all the time) [View all]gejohnston
(17,502 posts)4. given that this law is kind of mainstream,
and has been for years, it is kind of like when South Carolina repealed its handgun ban in 1965 (enacted in 1902, it banned private ownership of most handguns by other than "special deputies" ie, guys who kept their evening attire in the linen closet. Historically, the south had stricter gun laws than most of the US). In other words, nothing. There will be no noontime duels, shoot outs over parking spaces, or any other bad things.
What does this law have to do with gay bashing?

OP
My cause is to expose GOP/NRA gun insanity for what it is - extremism - it is not "mainstream"

Or you could look at an incident like the mass shooting at Wedgwood Baptist in 1999

Most mayors are against guns in their cities too. Why, because more guns are not the answer.

That's great -- we'll just let criminals and racketeers take over the distribution of guns.
