Once again the loonies are loose in Cobb County.

Thanks Charles, I can't wait to vote against you.

He drank his first strong liquor
Then to calm his shaking hand
And tried to tell himself at last
He had become a man
A dusty cowpoke at this
Began to laugh him down
And he heard again his mother's words
Don't take your guns to town, son
Leave your guns at home, Bill
Don't take your guns to town

People should be able to carry guns to protect themselves from criminals. If you do not like guns, then it is your choice to not carry one. Why in the world would you want to take choice away from a law abiding citizen? I applaud Charles Gregory for his stance!

Did you know the Military does not use the Bushmaster 223 rifle..... at all? Did you know that Adam Lanza did not shoot a Bushmaster in Newtown? That's right. That rifle was taken from the trunk of his mothers car after he was already dead. Yes very much true. It is even on NBC video. Check it here. http://yourdaddy.net/2012/12/22/gun-inconsistencies-in-sandy-hook-school-mass-shooting/ Now if you can explain what is going on please feel free to leave a comment on the site.

What part of the "Shall Not infringe" in the second amendment do you two torks Margaret and Frank not understand? Georgia did not give me the right to carry a gun. God did. Georgia and specifically Kennasaw have just recognizied the fact that God did give me that right and your uneducated fact-less liberal gun banning ideological idiot minds cant get past it.

''Georgia did not give me the right to carry a gun. God did.''

Sorry, are we talking about the God who said ''when your neighbor strikes you on the cheek, turn to him the other also,'' or are we referring to the one who said ''do not repay evil for evil''?

Or was it the one who rebuked Peter for cutting off the guard's ear, saying: ''Those who live by the sword die by the sword.''

Just want to make sure we're talking about the same God here because the guy from the Bible seems like kind of a passifist.

Why do you folks think the Second Amendment was written?

thank god somebody with common sense is still in government

Facts are facts: "gun-free zones" are only gun-free for criminals. If the teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary had been at least given the choice to exercise their Second Amendment rights, few if any kids would be dead.

Evidence: 8.5 Million- Total number of deaths from homicide worldwide in the 20th century

203 Million- Total number of deaths caused by government actions in the 20th century. This includes war (34 mil) and genocide (169 mil).

Result: A human living in the 20th century was over 23 times more likely to die as a direct result of the actions of a government than by the actions of a non-political person.

Conclusion: The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing. The benefit of the second amendment is not that it guarantees your right to go recreational hunting but that it guarantees your right to protect yourself against tyrannical governments. The evidence shows you are far more likely to killed by a tyrannical government than a homicidal manic. Don’t let your government take away your right to protect yourself!

But shouldn't we confiscate guns to save the children? A study by the Children’s Defense Fund found that we lose some 2,800 children and teenagers to guns annually. Hard not to be for stricter laws and controls...right?

While 2,800 is shocking and appalling statistic, an even more shocking and appalling statistic is 10 million or 3571 times 2,800. That is the number of Soviet Ukrainians who died as a result of the Holodomor.

The Holodomor was the forced starvation in 1933 of the Ukrainian people implemented by the Soviet political elite in retribution for poor food output. Why couldn’t the large Ukrainian population defend themselves against such as monstrous policy? In 1929 the Soviet government implemented a gun ban; therefore, even though they greatly outnumbered the group implementing the policy, the Ukrainians didn’t have the resources available to them to protect themselves. As I’ve already mentioned, this resulted in the deaths of an estimated 10 million people (4 million due to starvation and 6 million due to birth defects attributed to the Holodomor).

Also disturbing is the number 300,000. That’s the number of Sudanese who have died in the Sudanese civil war starting in 2003. Over these years most fatalities have been the result of the intentional starvation of civilians. Again the question is - why haven’t the Sudanese people organized and defended their natural right to self-preservation? Again the answer can be found in the gun control laws of Sudan.

The UN calls Sudan’s gun control laws “very restrictive.” In fact, you need to be above the age of 30, pass a physical examination, and obtain a certain socio-economic status prior to owning a firearm for the purpose of self-defense. In practice, very few Sudanese have access to weapons for their self-defense.

For the sake of expediency, I won’t go into detail about other incidents where gun control laws preceded genocide of hundreds of thousands of people. However, there are many other examples. Such as Armenia (1915-1917) 1.5 million killed, China (1948-1952) 20 million killed, Uganda (1971-19790 300,000 killed, and Cambodia (1975-1979) 2 million killed.

One of the traits of our human condition is when tend to disparage the collective lessons we’ve learned throughout history in order to address the most recent events. History is riddled with examples of people forfeiting their natural right of self-defense to political entities resulting in those people losing their lives.

Guns and teenagers. Turning fights into murder since 1683.

Gregory's website:
"When the people fear their government, their is tyranny; When the government fears the people, their is liberty - Thomas Jefferson"

A spurious quote according to the experts on Thomas Jefferson.
Most likely attributed to by a socialist, John Barnhill, in 1914.
