An idea that gives Progressive Freedom h8ters angina

Heh! (emphasis mine):

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley said Tuesday that she backs a proposal that would make it legal for most South Carolinians to carry guns – concealed or in the open – without a permit or the training that the state currently requires.

Haley made her comments after she signed into law a bill that allows gun owners with licenses to carry concealed weapons into businesses that serve alcohol – restaurants and bars – as long as they do not drink alcohol and the businesses did not bar guns.

After signing the restaurant and bar bill, Haley said she backs a pending state Senate bill, called the “Constitutional Carry Act,” that would eliminate the state’s current permitting and training requirements for citizens who wish to carry firearms.

Gunlaws.com puts the idea like this: “No tests. No taxes. No paperwork. No fingerprints in the criminal database. No photographs. No expiration dates. No plastic-coated permission slip. Just rights. For all law-abiding adults.”

I am quite sure that people like Zandra Rice-Hawkins (of that out of state funded Progressive organization, Granite State Progress) and hoary blogger Susan the Bruce would have a cow over that coming here.  Why?  They can’t stand Freedom – freedom from Government thrusting itself into every nook and cranny of everybody’s life.  They may believe they can run their own lives, but being of that “Elite Nose in the Air” snobbery, they have no belief that the rest of us can intelligently fend for ourselves and make it through the day without the Nanny State (with themselves at the helm) guiding us and arm-barring us through that day until Nanny tucks us into bed (“Don’t forget your contraceptives now, children”).

No, Progressives like them, Deputy Dog Shurtleff, Ed Butler, and “Red Shoes” Ahearn  and others of the same ilk have no problem in rescinding your natural Freedoms because you all aren’t grown up and responsible enough to be trusted with anything more than a 3″ knife at the dinner table.  For them, GOVERNMENT gives one freedoms – contra what our founding document say (which state that our Rights precede such Government and that Government exists to protect those Rights and does not need to “manage” them for us).

Just rights. For all law-abiding adults”  – and therein is our problem – Progressives truly believe that none of us are adults and are all too willing to have a worldview that we are all guilty from the get-go too.  Perfect recipe for Tyranny, writ small or Large.
