Gov. Deal signs sweeping gun bill

ATLANTA (CBS46) -

On Wednesday, Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law House Bill 60, legislation that protects law-abiding, licensed Georgia citizens' Second Amendment rights.

"For decades now I have staunchly defended our Second Amendment rights as both a legislator and as governor," said Deal. "This legislation will protect the constitutional rights of Georgians who have gone through a background check to legally obtain a Georgia Weapons Carry License. Roughly 500,000 Georgia citizens have a permit of this kind, which is approximately 5 percent of our population. License holders have passed background checks and are in good standing with the law. This law gives added protections to those who have played by the rules and who can protect themselves and others from those who don't play by the rules. Our nation's founders put the right to bear arms on par with freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Georgians cherish their Second Amendment rights, and this law embodies those values."

Jann Oldham, who flies into and out of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport several times a year, doesn't like the idea that someone other than a police officer could be carrying a gun as she walks through the airport.

"I just don't think that's a good idea at all," Oldham said.

The bill will let licensed owners carry guns into any part of Georgia municipal airports thatare not behind security checkpoints.

Oldham supports the Second Amendment, just not in the airport.

"In an environment like this, we already have security. What's the point?" Oldham asked.

Kellie Seibel feared the legislation could open the doors to more gun violence like last year's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport that left a TSA officer dead and several people wounded.

"This would be a perfect opportunity for someone to who wants to take revenge out on a group of people or any type of terrorist activity," Seibel said.

Georgia Governor to Sign Sweeping Gun Bill

U.S. Law

Updated at 1:00 p.m ET

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed into law Wednesday radical new gun legislation that will allow licensed owners to carry firearms into more public places than at any time in the past century, including government buildings, bars, and a wide variety of public places.

The law, called the Safe Carry Protection Act, allows churches to opt-in to permit weapons, school districts to appoint staff carrying firearms, and requires bars to opt out if they wish to ban firearms, NBC reports. Gun owners caught at airport security checkpoints can pick up their weapons and leave with no criminal penalty.

Critics have called the new legislation the Guns Everywhere Bill, and gun control groups including Americans for Responsible Solutions and Mayors Against Illegal Guns have strongly criticized the bill, as has the executive director of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police, Frank Rotondo. Police officers do not want more people carrying guns on the street, said Rotondo, particularly police officers in inner city areas.

Proponents of the law say, however, that it strengthens the Second Amendment and will make people safer. When we limit a Georgians ability to carry a weapon to defend themselves were empowering the bad guys, said Georgia state Rep. Rick Jasperse, who introduced the bill.

Eight states have loosened gun regulations since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. in December 2012, while 10 states have strengthened regulations, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.

The strength and necessity of our Second Amendment

I was alarmed and concerned, as a freedom-loving citizen, at the actions of our Federal Government, i.e. The BLM vs. one of our citizens i.e., Clive Bundy of Bunkerville, NV. Being unaware of the real reason behind the confrontation, I can only address the standoff situation. The Feds moved in well armed in what threatened to be another Ruby Ridge or Waco massacre. Our fellow citizen/militia moved in armed with our Second Amendment i.e., our right to bear arms.

Notice a big difference. The Feds went in armed, virtually unopposed and not facing armed resistance. When the Feds were met with armed resistance i.e., our citizen/militia, the Feds backed down. The Feds could understandably see no reason to die so Harry Reid and his son and cronies could make more money.

Our citizen/militia moved in armed with our second amendment, facing guns, which could result in deadly opposition. Please acknowledge that our citizen/militia stood for the freedom our forefathers so bravely fought for, facing injury and in many cases death. They didnt run as our not so upstanding and brave feds did.

Back up 225 years and our Founding Fathers were fighting the same type of tyrannical government that Clive Bundy and our citizen/militia are fighting today. Our Constitutional Framers fortunately gave us our Second Amendment assuming we would need it in event of the tyranny we are now facing.

A few weeks back a couple of contributors to this page referenced our Constitutional Framers in a very favorable view, with which I agree. Please be aware that President Obama referenced these same Framers as rich people who didnt want to pay their taxes. Our Framers referenced it as taxation without representation.

Only the very uniformed can praise our Framers while voting for and supporting Obama. I would suggest these contributors watch the news on ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN or numerous others. Information can fix ignorance.
