Good year for Gun Rights in South Carolina.

The anti-gun editorial on The Post and Currier is full of good news for us:

Fifty-four members of the House have sponsored a bill that would prohibit health care providers from asking patients about firearm ownership. It was 58, but four removed their names. Presumably, those four remembered something about citizens’ right to free speech.

A Senate bill would exempt from federal regulation any firearm, firearm accessory or ammunition manufactured and retained in South Carolina.

A bill that passed the House and is pending before the Senate’s Judiciary Committee would disallow the state from pursuing incentives provided by federal law or through an executive order by the president that might infringe upon a person’s right to bear arms. No “proposed universal background checks to further restrict the purchase or ownership of guns” for South Carolinians.

Depending on whom you ask, South Carolina’s gun laws are either among the most lax in the country or the most restrictive. The national Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence gave South Carolina an “F.” But the South Carolina Policy Council pointed out that this is one of only three states that does not allow legitimately purchased weapons into any place that serves alcohol.

Excellent, an F from the Brady bunch is an A from the NRA.
