Reaction mixed on airport gun ruling

Reaction mixed on airport gun ruling:
"Bearden has introduced a sweeping gun proposal, House Bill 615, that he expects could come to a vote for next year's legislative session. The measure, among other things, would ban the seizure of firearms during official states of emergency. But Bearden said it could eventually specifically allow firearms in parts of the airport.

'We're looking at all our options at this time,' said Bearden."
Aside from a very small group of rightwing folks I know and/or read online nobody cares about bringing their gun to the airport. Then again, they don't own guns... if they do... they are hunting guns... not ones you shove down your pants so that your woman knows you can defend her from a band of chineses tourist gone amuck.

This is a very small group of folks... they just all live in GA? Okay not really its quite large and seems to say something more about the insecurity and lack of meaning in peoples lives. When you feel powerless you grab onto anything that will give you power.(And so it is true with bloggers and their words... no?)

Thats not dangerous per say. It just seems sad that so many have such a fixation/fear. Or maybe i'm the sad one because I lack it? What do I know...

Gun's and the conservative legacy...

Might my state senator not waste his time on this when he could be focusing on this:

Report: Georgia in top 10 states exporting guns used in crime
Gun-friendly South accounted for a disproportionate amount of the problem
Though a friend mentioned (if you pardon the harsh humor for a moment)that not using a holster has got to increase the likelyhood of shooting oneself. "I'm all for it" he laughed, "let the gun crazies get rid of themselves." I could only sigh in response...

The pathological need to "protect oneself" comes home to roost. sigh...
