In reply to the discussion: (GOP) Bill proposes massive overhaul to Georgia gun laws (guns everywhere all the time) [View all]Hoyt
(54,770 posts)12. The right wingers supporting this have always loved guns and intimidation.
They probably all see themselves like former Governor Lester Maddox who rose to "fame" chasing Blacks out of his restaurant with a gun. Neil Boortz actually got his start in hate politics writing racist speeches for the racist, gun toting "gubnor."
Guns have an ugly history here.

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