On that note:

In Tennessee since it feels like forever, the state GOP have been trying to legalize the right to carry a concealed gun into a bar.

You know, bars where people tend to overdrink and which booze has a habit of inhibiting one's logic and control over impulsive, rash decisions. Yes add guns to that environment.

Why are these people against Common Sense?


RR,

I remember hearing about that law and thought it was already in effect. You mean some sane minds might actually be thinking it over? confused It just blows me away that one would even consider it but I agree, wouldn't common sense tell you guns/alcohol/bars don't mix? confused

Also, tho I really don't know the details, I hear Gov. Synder of MI signed a bill just a day or two ago or so, allowing guns at schools.

I am not hopeful that any precautions (and God forbid restrictions) with gun laws will prevail, even after yesterday's tragedy but I also refuse the to accept that NOTHING can be done. mad
