    For anyone wondering about Georgia’s gun control laws:

    -No background checks

    -No purchase permit laws

    -K-12 teachers are allowed to carry

    -No red flag laws

    -No bans on high capacity magazines

    -No secured gun storage required

    -Open carry / no concealed carry permit required

    -No ghost gun regulations

    -People with assault or violent misdemeanors can carry guns

    -Colleges and universities must allow guns on campus

    -Minors can possess rifles and shotguns

    But Brian Kemp is urging all Georgians to pray for the safety of those in the classroom!!

      I thoroughly despise living in Georgia. There are so many gun-fetishist, uneducated, redneck morons who live near me that I have, at times, felt like I was literally suffocating.

      The moment I can move, I will get the hell out of this hell-hole of a state. The only good thing you can even say about it is that it’s not as bad as Florida — where there are just as many idiots, but also sweat running down cracks you didn’t know you had.

      And having a kid in school, this is one of my worst fears as a parent. The sheer helplessness those parents must feel right now, it’s both mind-boggling and maddening.

      Fuck Georgia. Fuck the USA. Fuck the piece of shits who value their guns over children. And fuck anyone who believes that the cost of their own freedom is watching as children are murdered in the classroom.
