Finally, a SCOTUS decision that I agree with!

Ban on guns in church to remain

U.S. Supreme Court won’t hear appeal on Ga. law

By Sarah Mueller [email protected]
A Georgia law banning firearms in all churches and other places of worship will stay in place to the relief of at least two pastors in Gainesville.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from GeorgiaCarry.org, which wanted the justices to overturn a lower court decision upholding Georgia’s law banning guns in churches and other places of worship. GeorgiaCarry Executive Director Jerry Henry said the group wanted the state to allow churches to decide for themselves whether to permit people to carry firearms into church.

All the local gun shops have sold out of large ammo clips and machine guns since the talk of a ban surfaced in Wash. DC. Even the sale of other weapons has skyrocketed. These idiots around here, (and everywhere else) a crazy. It was reported yesterday that guys were using the morthgage money to buy this stuff because it might be BANNED! I for one am thrilled that I can be happy with a SCOTUS decision...something I can rarwe3ly do.

They can't go to the bathroom without their guns (no gun toilet zones = mass murders in the loo!) so how will they bang their bibles now????
