Georgia expands rights of gun owners
Georgia just passed a sweeping statute expanding the rights of gun owners. It includes a provision that will allow schools to authorize school employees to carry firearms under certain circumstances. A clear victory for Second Amendment rights. As expected there is much moaning, groaning and gnashing of teeth by the Left. Is freedom starting to catch hold again as an important value in this society? Colorado recently legalized recreational pot and other states are considering it. Note that as omitted in many descriptions, the expansion of places where guns can be carried applies only to those who are licenses carriers.
P.S. The media should stop talking about "gun rights." Only human beings have rights. A correct designation might be "rights of gun owners."

ReplyDeleteThe U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s active shooter guideline is an example of what’s wrong with America today. Their latest recommendation on how adults should deal with an active shooter goes beyond absurd. Items 1 and 2 discusses running and/or hiding from an active shooter. Item 3 explains how to take action.
ReplyDelete“As a last resort and only if your life is in imminent danger, attempt to incapacitate the shooter”. My question is how does one accomplish this task against an armed assailant?
Homeland security’s answer, “Act with physical aggression and throw items at the active shooter”. Wow! Did I read this right? Will this be their strategy when they arrive on scene?
Their offensive finale is under “Characteristics of an active shooter situation”. And I quote, “Law enforcement is usually required to end an active shooter situation”. We must all look like complete idiots to this bureaucratic agency. There’s no better way to end and/or mitigate an active shooter scenario except through an armed citizenry.
