On May 3 Georgia Governor Nathan Deal (R) took the action Everytown for Gun Safety had urged by vetoing campus carry legislation that had been on his desk for over a month.

The legislation–HB 859–was passed by the Georgia House on February 22. On February 26, Deal took front and center in defending the bill, even suggesting that those who opposed it were using old arguments that had proven vacuous after other concealed carry expansions.

Anyone who lives in GA surprised by “I’m in the pocket of the Chamber of Commerce and Disney” Deal’s action? Anyone?

Not enough votes; the black democrat contingent of the ga gnl assembly hates the thought of whitey being able to defend himself.

The votes are there for an override, but Deal waited for the legislature to be out of session.

Quick question: WHERE in the 2nd Amendment does it say that you can "Keep and Bear Arms" except in certain areas designated by some RINO or lib?

Then the next step, and it is a sad one, is to lay every on-campus assault and killing at his feet, because the fault lies directly with him, for denying collegiate individuals the right to self preservation.

Their blood will be on his hands as far as I am concerned. But he won’t care. Hell, politicians have killed more innocent people than Father Time with their laws. But they don’t care. As long as they have their armed body guards, get to collect their bribes, and attend their coke parties, they are happy. The peasants can go to hell.

I think the good folks of Georgia are getting screwed over by the Governor....he is actually a left wing ideologue in disguise.

That would be under DC vs Heller, where Scalia and crew said rights weren't unlimited and .gov has the power to enforce no guns in certain areas, ie schools, government buildings.

Lots of people cheer the Heller decision, but they don't bring up that part of it.

Not surprised by Nathan Deal’s lurch to the left, since he was a longtime democrat Congressman until Speaker Newt coaxed him into coming over to our side of the aisle.

“Not enough votes; the black democrat contingent of the ga gnl assembly hates the thought of whitey being able to defend himself.”

If the Republicans in the Georgia legislature wanted to override Deal’s veto, they could call a special session and do so without the contingent of black Democrats. The truth is that this legislation was primarily window dressing for the November election. Most Republicans fully expected, or at least strongly suspected, that Deal would veto the bill. Now, they can go back to their districts, tell the voters they “fought the good fight”, and blame the governor for the bill’s demise.

Activist, radical, racist and sexist professors should think about keeping the tempo down. Maybe just teach their subjects and drop the radical rants?
