If Guns Didn't Help America Win It's Independence

If we go say that all things should stay the same as they were during 1776 we wouldn't have the healthcare, homes, standard of living, ease of transportation and many many other things....

The gun folks love to talk about how guns solved our problems back then. Yes, guns in all homes were are militia and provide food.

Today the United States has a militia and we are able to get our food at a store.

Times change....

For those wanting to carry a holster and fire arm to protect themselves and talk about the way things are in the constitution and how the right to bare arms saved them I say lets put them all in a time capsule and transport them to 1776 where they hunt for their food, have no electricity, heat, healthcare and a life expectancy of 50 at best.

I saw a video earlier today

This smells of the old wild wild west to me.

I think if we can get 100,000 more guys like this to "bare arms" we will have enough businesses lobbying on the other side as their businesses will be adversely impacted and we will have meaningful change.

    Rep. Regina Quick pulls no punches on Chamber scorecard

    Rep. Regina Quick, R-Athens, was one of two local delegates to score less than an "A+" in the Chamber of Commerce's annual legislative score card. She and I played phone tag Monday when I was reporting the story and I wasn't able to get her comments in a timely fashion. Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
