Controversial legislation that would let Georgians with concealed firearms permits carry their weapons on public college and university campuses cleared the state House of Representatives Friday.
The bill, which passed 108-63 and now moves to the Georgia Senate, is similar to the campus carry measure the General Assembly adopted last year. The 2016 bill was then vetoed by Gov. Nathan Deal. |

"It is not a constitutional right to carry a weapon on a college campus," added Rep. Scott Holcomb, D-Atlanta. "Campus carry is not covered by the Second Amendment."
This man should never have been trusted with a position of power.
EVERYWHERE is covered by the Second Amendment. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
