Georgia Senate has no guts on guns

The Republican dominated Georgia Senate has no guts!

With Casey Cagle leading the pack of wind blown opinion chasers, the Senate wilted in the hours after the massacre at Virginia Tech. For the nearly Biblical 40 days and 40 nights, the Legislature has been pushing Guns and Guts in SB 43 and HB 89. These two gun packing bills have been competing for the Guns and Guts vote in the Senate and the House, respectively.

Now, all the Georgia Cowboys have to cry and leave their guns at home. In the hours after 33 people were murdered one by one on a college campus, Georgia Republicans turned their backs and showed their yellow stripes.

The Senate will not bring either bill to a final vote. Not even Jim Whitehead wants to stand on principles of a gun on every hip and in every car. (Senator Whitehead says it okay kill every liberal student and faculty member at UGA with bombs, not a Glock 19.)
