You know, if you're a Republican, by rights you're required to kowtow to the gun lobby. To get elected, you've got to lick boot and agree with whatever the most ridiculous of the gun nuts wants. Guns in restaurants? Yep. Airports? Double yep. Guns in church? Check. Guns in bars where drunk arguments often escalate? Hell yes.
That Sean Jerguson (R-Holly Springs) -- one of the Georgia General Assembly's youngest, most inexperienced and most ineffective reps -- is kissing the butt of a group like Georgiacarry.org isn't surprising. But the level of toadying and bootlicking Sean-o went to crossed over from being a political butt-boy to being just plain scary:
"One of the participants was state Rep. Sean Jerguson (R-Holly Springs), a Georgiacarry member, who said he believes so strongly in gun ownership that, when his daughter turned 4 years old, he gave her a “pink .22.” His son was about to turn the same age, and would get a blue one, the lawmaker said."
Arming a four-year-old? I hope my kid doesn't get into an argument in preschool over sharing crayons with Sean's little girl. Seriously, Sean, a .22 for a four-year-old? Sounds like the folks at DFACS need to pay a visit to the Jerguson household.
