SALACIOUS SOCIALIST CRIMMINALS
article by: James Thomas Fridas
– Kennesaw Georgia – where gun ownership is mandatory. It’s not
the “Wild West” like some people predicted when it passed a mandatory
gun ownership law. “The city of Kennesaw was selected by Family Circle
magazine as one of the nation’s ‘10 best towns for families.’ The award
was aimed at identifying the best communities nationally that combine
big-city opportunities with suburban charm, a blend of affordable
housing, good jobs, top-rated public schools, wide-open spaces, and less
stress.”

In 1982 the city passed the following ordinance [Sec 34-21] which was in response to a handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill.
(a) In order to provide for the emergency
management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect
the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its
inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is
required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.
(b) Exempt from the effect of this section are those heads of households
who suffer a physical or mental disability which would prohibit them
from using such a firearm. Further exempt from the effect of this
section are those heads of households who are paupers or who
conscientiously oppose maintaining firearms as a result of beliefs or
religious doctrine, or persons convicted of a felony.
The
city’s website
states that Kennesaw “has the lowest crime rate in Cobb County,” one of
the most populace counties in Georgia. In fact, from 1982 through 2009,
Kennesaw had been nearly murder free with one murder occurring in 2007.
There were three murders in 2010 committed by the same man in what is
described as a “school safety zone,” an area extending 1,000 feet from
any school, including adult colleges and technical schools. This means
that even though Kennesaw has the most liberal gun laws in the United
States, employees at the facility where the murders were committed could
not have a gun on the premises.
Of course, criminals don’t care about laws; that’s why they’re criminals.
Ed Stone of Atlanta Gun Rights Examiner makes these important points:
“Unfortunately experience with
actual ‘school safety zones’ in Georgia has proven that the ‘school
safety zone’ law approach does not stop violent armed crime, as it
disarms only the potential victims of an attack. Criminals seeking to
rob, rape, and murder ignore the ‘school safety zone’ as merely one more
law they are breaking.”
Now we come to New York City. In September 2011 Ryan Jerome, a former
Marine Corps gunner, walked up to a security officer at the Empire
State Building and asked where he could check his gun.
He had a valid concealed carry permit from his home state of Indiana.
He also had the rights given to him under the Second Amendment. No
matter, the security officer called police and Jerome spent the next two
days in jail. “The 28-year-old with no criminal history now faces a
mandatory minimum sentence of three and a half years in prison. If
convicted, his sentence could be as high as fifteen years.”
He brought the gun for protection since he was traveling with $15,000
worth of jewelry that he planned to sell. Certainly a rational
decision, given the crime rate in New York City and stories like the
U.S. Marine veteran who was shot three times when a Craigslist
transaction went bad.
In December of 2011, Tennessee nurse Meredith Graves noticed a “no
guns” sign at the World Trade Center site in New York City and asked
where she could leave her weapon. Like Jerome, she was arrested and
faces similar charges. Mayor Bloomberg claims that she was in possession
of cocaine. It seems that what the police found was BC Powder, an
over-the-counter pain reliever that is sold exclusively in the South.
In a 25-year period, New York City has had more than 15,000 murders –
2245 in 1990 alone – while Kennesaw, Georgia, had 1.
