western towns use to make people check their guns while in town.
I guess it wouldn't be very manly to go around displaying your chit for your gun.
gun violence should now go down.

I believe the U.S.A should implement strict rock control laws.
Rock caused and or related rock violence is on the rise since laws promoting the use of rocks has increased.
Please help end the violence, lets get some sensible rock banning laws.

What we need is more gun control , like Chicago has , the strictest in the nation, as evidenced by these figures from last weekend:
At Least 8 Dead, 44 Wounded In Weekend Shootings
Clearly what this country needs for sanity and safety is to take the guns out of the hands of ordinary people and put them into the hands of politically protected gangs and potential mass murderers on psychiatric medication.

yes, those politicians and their gang affiliations really are the problem here. if we just get some guns into nightclubs it will get better.

This should be a good experiment.
I'll bet the murder rate after a year will be higher in the places with the strictest gun control - Chicago, California, D.C. - than it will be in Georgia.
The science will then be settled.

Edit; Chaz's post highlights what I am saying..
So Ward, how long until gun violence goes down in Georgia? That is what the gun lovers contend isn't it? that if everyone carried, fewer people would be tempted to use a gun. And fewer people will die because someone with a legal gun will shoot the bad guy.

"Gang affiliations" is called "community organizin' " in Chicago.

Archie Bunker recommended arming airline passengers to prevent hijackings. It was satire, now reality. The extremists are winning.

It means that ordinary people , who obey the law , will now be able to protect themselves in an environment where armed sociopathic lawbreakers currently hold the clear advantage.
The problem with gun controllers is that they don't trust ordinary, law.-abiding people, nor will they make the distinction between the law-abiding and the criminal.
I've got news for you---as far as Georgia is concerned you and I both know that a huge number of people have been secretly packing there anyway---for quite some time.
Why isn't the gun violence rate as high as those parts of the country, like Chicago, where gun control is the strictest in the nation?

Actually your control group already has a much higher murder rate.
That's the definition of a BAD experiment.
Nice try though.

Now here's a situation that, if it can't be straightened out with a gun, what are guns good for?
When U.S. Army Spc Michael Sharkey was deployed to Afghanistan two years ago, he could never imagine that he would have to wage a legal battle just to get his Florida house back from a pair of ex-convicts who had settled there in his absence.
Sharkey and his wife, Danielle, live in Wahiawa, Hawaii, where the soldier is currently stationed, but in a little over a month, the family are expected to return to New Port Richey, Florida, where they own a house.
However, the Sharkeys' homecoming has been complicated by the presence of squatters in their one-story residence in the 6800 block of Westend Avenue.
According the solider and his wife, the strangers had broken into their home, changed the locks and are refusing to leave.
To add insult to injury, officials at the Pasco County Sheriff's department have informed the couple that they have no legal grounds to evict the man and woman.
The couple living in Sharkey’s home, identified as Julio Ortiz and his girlfriend, Fatima Cardoso, have offered a different version of events.
