It's very common knowledge locally about the gun ownership law, the good guys and the bad guys. If you're a criminal and thinking of breaking into a home, you will pick the next surburb over or stay in downtown Atlanta. |

CNN's Piers Morgan let loose with "How many more kids have to die, before you guys say, 'we want less guns, not more", here. In America the 2nd Amendment is considered a sacred constitutional right because the right to defend yourself and your family against deadly force is an absolute natural right. Folks aren't dying in America because of our gun rights. They are dying because gun rights have been substantially weakened in many states and unarmed folks have no defense against armed lunatics on the loose. Banning firearms will never result in less armed lunatics but it will definitely result the ability of law abiding citizens to defend themselves when confronted with deadly force. Let's talk about Kennesaw, GA because the media was stroking out over Kennesaw passing a law in 1982 requiring that at least one member of every household be armed and firearms proficient. Before 1982, Kennesaw had experienced soaring crime rates so it passed a law with the goal of crime reduction. The crime rate plummeted. While the media castigated Kennesaw and dubbed it 'Guntown USA' and predicted that Kennesaw would become a Wild West styled shootout town full of gun violence, the truth is much different. The crime rate plummeted and at one point in 2007, Kennesaw was deemed a murder free town for 25 years. Continue: [link to judymorrisreport.blogspot.ca] |

Oh and I mean the actual meaning not your america TV orwellian 1984 version. Yeah, I've read the watered down dictionary version. That's OBVIOUSLY NOT what we're referring to. Anyone with a brain knows we're talking about the "LOONY LEFT". The collectivists, the socialists, the communists, the ones that want to take our guns. |

That law is not even a requirement as Kennesaw is now a college town. The crime rate being low has much more to do with having a large college than is does from a law that isn't even enforced or even known about by the thousands of students that live there. And yes, I used to live there and went to Kennesaw as well. |

But yes, apparently back when they passed it, crime went down. It makes sense. If you are a low life burglar scum, are you gonna break into people's houses in a county where its the LAW to own a handgun? |

How many of you have ever lived there or even been there? Kennesaw State University has 23,000 students. I'm not sure what the on campus populace is but rest assured that none of them are allowed to own a gun on campus. The whole "law requires every citizen to own a gun" argument is complete bunk. It's like the "no swearing in front of women and children law" in Michigan. Sure it exists on the books, but how many times do you think it has been enforced? One time in the last 30 years and it made headline news. |
