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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
