Georgia lawmaker’s can’t-miss offer: Machine guns and margaritas

Competition is fierce in the gun business.

You no doubt have heard about the Powder Springs City Council’s recent approval of an alcohol license for a couple developing an indoor shooting range in west Cobb County.

Apparently, this is an idea whose time has come. Just a little bit further up the Northwest Corridor, state Rep. Sean Jerguson, R-Woodstock, owns Hi-Caliber, a firearms retail outlet and shooting range.

The state lawmaker has paired with a Mexican restaurant in a can’t-miss Group On offer: $39 for a session with automatic weapons, an appetizer and margaritas for two. That’s an $87.68 value, people, including two 20-round boxes of ammunition.

For all you enemies of the Second Amendment, safety can be found in the fine print:

Limit 1 per person, may buy multiple as gifts. Must be 21 or older. Must redeem for gun rental before redeeming at Tacos & Beer Mexican Restaurant. Valid only for rental of M16 machine guns.

Remember: Shoot, then drink.

So many people just don’t get it. You’re not mixing guns and alcohol. You can only drink when you’re done shooting. I’m not sure what’s so difficult to understand about that.

And what’s the big deal? If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it. Nobody’s forcing you to show up, putting a gun and a drink in your hand and making you drink and shoot. Nobody’s even *permitting* such a thing.

I guess it just doesn’t sound as outrageous and sensational if you bother to tell the truth.

40 rounds of ammo in a full-auto M-16 will not consume much of the evening. The appetizer would last longer, possibly even the sex.

hen we all have guns, we won’t need cops. Think of the cost savings.
