"Stupid is as stupid does" is a quote from the movie Forrest Gump. It is also The State of Tennessee's new Republican dominated legislature in action. This self-proclaimed "moral majority" is actually attempting to make it legal for people whom have permits to carry concealed guns to do so in public bars and restaurants where alcohol is served. Their "thinking" seems to be "Why drink and drive and take a chance on killing someone, when you can do it better with a handgun". This is typical of what the national Republican party has become; shoot first and show false remorse later. Polls show a huge majority of voters and citizens are strongly against the bill; bar and restaurant owners are against the bill, and even churches and other religious businesses that caused these jerks to be elected through pulpit sermons are against it, so who would be the shameful but interested party pushing such hateful legislation? Boys and girls, can you say "NRA"? Whom else would have enough political and monetary clout plus the burning desire to have this passed but the National Rifle Association? What better state in which to have this wretched law to be enacted but a poor, southern, redneck entity like Tennessee that has a brand new "conservative" law making body for the first time in minions of years? I hope the Democrat governor vetoes this dangerous bill when it comes to his desk, but whom knows about politicians except that they are each and everyone "on the take" from someone. My fellow Tennesseans, you brought this on yourselves when you last went to the polls to vote; giddy with confidence, you could not think well enough to even imagine things like this happening, and there is more such to come. I am disgusted!
