It's Common Sense

In a recent AJC op ed, columnist Bill Torpy took on Georgia's State Election Board, criticizing their rules that honestly seem to do exactly the opposite of what they say they will. This is the way politicians play politics. Always have. Always will. But that's not his nugget of wisdom. This is:

'I've been around long enough to know if someone keeps telling you it's "common sense," then you're about to get screwed.'

Truer words were never writ.

Then it gets really good. See, our boy Torpy hails from the Windy City, currently hosting a bevy of Democrats. This is interesting for a couple of reasons. First, Chicago has given us "Hey Jackass," an amazing analysis of dysfunction in ChicagoLand. And this analysis centers around the dysfunction of people shooting people. With guns. 

Here's where the Democrats factor in. Whilst Torpy noted that the Election Board used the term "common sense" two, count 'em, two times, Democrats use it almost non-stop in their crusade against the Second Amendment. As in "common sense gun laws." 

Let's hope that the AJC, and Torpy, call out the Democrats on their "common sense," and how we're about to get screwed, the next time they propose to infringe the Second Amendment.

UPDATE: that very Friday the AJC ran a front-page article highlighting Lucy McBath and giving her ink for her "commonsense gun laws" chant. Torpy has not commented on how this aligns with "you're about to get screwed."
