States' rights ... and wrongs

You go, Georgia!
A Georgia man panicked parents and children at a local park and baseball field by randomly walking around and displaying his gun to anyone he encountered in the parking lot. According to witnesses who spoke with WSB-TV, the man wandered around the Forsythe County park last Tuesday night showing his gun to strangers, telling them “there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Just what exactly did you think would happen when you pass these kinds of laws? That people would behave in a civilized manner?  Really?

You go, South Carolina!

Remind me... where was Ronald Reagan from? How about Darryl Issa, where is he from?

Oh, OK, it's "Darrell." In a just world, it would be spelled "Hostileidiot."

I haven't gotten to California yet... we've got at least two Democrats going to jail. How stupid are these guys?

Not to slam California, but to remind everyone that every state in the Union has its share of active nutjobs. No American, wherever s/he resides, has an unmitigated right to preach the virtues of their state's approach. Well, maybe Vermonters have that right, but I once had a young gay Catholic in Pennsylvania try to tell me that I was evil because I live in Texas and have chosen not to move away. He was adamant. I finally gave up on moderating his bigotry; it was hopeless.
