OMG Guns Everywhere

[popeyespappy]

I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to live in a world where machine guns that could take out 20 children in a matter of seconds are legal, and a plant that grows out of the ground isn't. (and no im not some pothead junkie, ive never done drugs in my life.)

There are hundreds of thousands of legally owned machine guns in the hands of individual US citizens. Despite this there has not been a homicide conviction in US courts of a US civilian for killing someone with one of those legally owned machine guns since 1934 when the National Firearms Act was passed.

Guns may be allowed in Georgia bars now, but consuming alcohol while in possession of a firearm is still strictly prohibited under the law. This goes for Tennessee which has allowed guns in bars for a while now as well as Georgia.

I'm not aware of any increase in the number of shootings in bars by people with carry permits in Tennessee since a similar law was passed there. If someone has statistics to the contrary I'd be interested in seeing them.

But does prohibiting people from using firearms while under the influence of alcohol really do anything? I mean, come on. YOU'RE DRUNK, you probably don't even remember what the law is, or your own name for that matter.

I don't think that "prohibiting people from using firearms while under the influence" is a nice way to back up gun rights in bars.

I'm not sure if you missed or ignored the point of this post, but to the best of my knowledge similar laws in other states have not resulted in an increase of shootings in places that serve alcohol. If you have any statistics that say they have then please trot them out for us to see.
