Quick Fact(s) - Gun Control Run Amok and Senate Republicans Just Can't Seem to Play Nice Together

1.   What's going on with gun control across the U.S....

On April 1, city officials in Nelson, Georgia will vote on whether to make gun ownership mandatory.  If this is an April Fool's joke, it is not funny.

Spring City, Utah has passed a resolution making gun ownership mandatory, and has scheduled a vote in the next few weeks to decide whether the resolution should become a city ordinance.  What?

In Kennesaw, Georgia, mandatory gun ownership is already the law.  Double what?

On March 8, South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard signed legislation that will allow all of that state's school districts to arm their teachers.  Good grief!

The town council in Sabattus, Maine has rejected a citizen proposal to make gun ownership mandatory.   That's it, I'm moving to Maine.


2.   Meanwhile, in the Senate Republican Sandbox...

Last week, John McCain took the Senate podium to publicly chastise Rand Paul and Ted Cruz for wasting the Senate's time with a 13 hour filibuster before the John Brennen confirmation vote.  Afterwards, Rand Paul said in an interview that McCain doesn't respect him.  John McCain responded in a Huffington Post interview by calling Paul and Cruz "whacko birds" who seem to get all the media attention. Newt Gingrich, who isn't even in government anymore, got into the fray by saying that John McCain should not say anything against a fellow Republican--which is exactly what Gingrich did by talking about the Senatorial spat, but never mind.

Grow up, people!  You sound like three year olds fighting over the sand pail.
