(Bob Andres/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP) Georgia House Speaker David Ralston didn’t have to do much. All he had to do was simply let the legislature vote on a bit of legislation. Yes, it was pro-gun legislation, but Ralston is supposed to be a Republican, the pro-gun party. Even if he voted against it, it would have let the Georgia General Assembly decide whether they wanted a fairly modest expansion of gun rights. Ralston said no. He killed the legislation because of the Atlanta shooting. The fact that the bill had jack-all to do with Atlanta was apparently lost on the speaker. Instead, he announced his capitulation with the anti-gun left’s preferred tactic of demanding we maintain a respectful distance from these unspeakable acts while they push legislation before the bodies are even cold.
