Arizona has just put into effect a law that allows gun owners to bring their concealed guns into bars!
What could be more crazy than that? Liquor and guns are just as dangerous, if not more so, than liquor and driving an automobile.
It is a guarantee that there will be drunks in bars who will lose their temper and pull out their guns and cause mass loss of life.
Arizona has to be insane to allow this! America is already the most violent society in America, and the Supreme Court has already permitted the end of gun control laws in the District of Columbia, and has now agreed to consider the constitutionality of similar state and local laws around the country. On top of this, AMTRAK is about to lose federal funding if it does not permit concealed guns in luggage on its trains in the Northeast Corridor.
It looks likely that there will soon be no gun control laws, and that the National Rifle Association will be controlling a majority of Congress, along with the Supreme Court majority.
This is a terrifying thought, and does not bode well for the future tranquility of the United States, particularly at a time when there is so much stress and so many problems that divide America. At a time of turmoil, this is the absolutely worse message for the long term stability of the American experiment in democracy!
I agree about the law allowing guns to be taken into bars… That is absolutely ridiculous. i wonder what their reasoning for actually allowing that. I am conservative on many issues but i think that a lot of times other conservatives rely on pure ideology when speaking about gun control. All I can do is just pray that the gun owning drunks in Arizona are somehow stopped from causing a huge mess. But with this law, fatalities seem inevitable…
Actually, you know what?
What if this is just a way for the government in Arizona to get all of the sane folks who have no business being in a bar out of there! What could be a better way? 🙂
Just kidding of course, but it’s a funny thought!
