A man carrying a gun stalked a children’s baseball game in Forsyth County, Georgia last week. Over twenty 911 calls were made, mostly by parents fearing for the safety of their children.
But the sheriff said they could do nothing, and the man knew that too.
Sign the petition denouncing the NRA, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and the Georgia state legislature for making it legal to terrorize families at community events.
Then yesterday, in Cobb County, a FedEx employee arrived at work with an assault rifle, knife and bullets strapped to his chest “like Rambo"—and wounded six people. It was legal for him to bring his gun into the workplace.
Why is all this possible? Georgia just passed HB 60—the “Guns Everywhere Bill"—which allows owners to carry their guns in public places like restaurants, churches, bars, schools, libraries, youth centers and sports arenas. The police aren’t even allowed to stop them to ask if they have a license.
NRA-backed laws are doing nothing to stop people with assault weapons from shooting a place up, but they’re making it possible to openly menace children at baseball games.
You can sign a petition: Denounce the NRA, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and the Georgia state legislature for making it legal to terrorize families in public places and community events.

Any critical analysis would indicate that the political process is broken across North America, wealthy and powerful special interests are driving insane policies.
Hey, it just goes to show that the parents of the children were remiss in not arming the kids prior to going to the baseball game. As soon as they saw a man with a gun, they could have all felt theatened, pulled out their guns and completely wiped him out. Similarly, what’s wrong with those Fed Ex employees? If he wounded six of them, it’s obvious that if they had all been packing, the police wouldn’t have even had to bother arresting him, just have him put in a body bag.
Who know, Georgia may end up being so decimated that we can turn it into a national wilderness area without people.
Occam
I’m investing heavily in whatever company makes kevlar, I’m predicting it’ll be the fashion favorite of the future.

Nathan Deal and the Georgia state legislature for making it legal to terrorize families in public places and community events." I wonder if that means Georgians think it would be ok to terrorize families in other venues or at home? Lois
