This Liberal Is A Hypocrite
Admittedly I haven’t paid full attention to Session over the last few weeks (or months, actually) but one bill, House Bill 280, has justifiably caught statewide attention. House Bill 280 is Campus Carry. As you may recall, Governor Deal vetoed Campus Carry last year citing concerns that the legislation was too broad.
Campus Carry is a divisive issue by nature. 2nd Amendment supporters and opponents often clash over the smallest of issues, but now we’re talking about placing guns in university buildings. As such, emotions run high.
Responses to the Georgia General Assembly passing another Campus Carry bill on the anti-gun side have ranged from disappointment to rage, but here is one response that struck me as more than unacceptable:
Senator Gooch’s district includes the University of North Georgia, a senior military college with a long history of military tradition. I share this as an example of how not to react. Firstly, do not insinuate that stray bullets will land in the bodies of a legislator’s family. Secondly, emotional imagery that depicts our universities as battle grounds achieves nothing.
Senator Gooch, I wish the best to you, your wife, and your kids.
And Holly, get it together.
EDITED: I misspelled the word “Hypocrite.” What? Do you expect me to write well or something?

There’s a difference between being a hypocrite and being an asshole. It’s good to know we can count on you to step up the next time a conservative says something dumbass.
UNG has three campuses, including one in Oconee. No cadets there either.
xdog, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Will. Since you’re clearly unfamiliar with my work, I’ll let you in on a little secret: I call Republicans out for their dumbassery more than I call out Democrats. I expect Democrats to play games, but I hold my own party up to a higher standard. And I proudly attended UNG.
Let’s grab beer so you can get to know me.
Hello Will. Sorry I’ve missed your previous efforts at exposing dumbassery. I’m sure they were worthy, and given the current level of political discourse there’s certainly plenty of material to work with. I’ll be happy to buy the first round.
Second round is on me if we can discuss the dumberassery surrounding healthcare/CON
I will divert slightly to talk about the actual legislation. The latest version addresses two of Deal’s concerns; on campus day care and high school students. If final version doesn’t address his third concern (disciplinary hearings/some faculty areas) he is unlikely to sign it.
I Googled, but is Holly Brannon a public official? Who is she?
Seems to be a random person from Roswell GA who has taken upon herself to spam legislators’ facebook pages with veiled threats of their families dead bodies because she doesn’t like a vote.
Thanks. I’m new here and I guess I wasn’t expecting commentary on random loons’ Facebook posts and tweets. I suppose it’s a bounteous source of #content.
On topic: I’m a liberal gun owner and generally think firearms possession by law-abiding citizens isn’t really on our list of problems, but I also think this bill isn’t especially wise.
Today I learned someone who may or may not be human, may or may not be female, may or may not be liberal, may or may not be “A Democrat™ ” said something mean on the internet about a person’s political position. Imagine that! And the mean person/bot had a message that wished for no harm to come to his family.
#ConservativesOutraged!
I wonder if Jon would have approved this weak attempt at a political post?
