Golden Sleaze Awards - The Jack Daniels, Meet Smith & Wesson Award

Sen. Mitch Seabaugh

It’s astonishing the lengths that some lawmakers will go to prove their gun-nut bona fides. Thanks to Seabaugh, Georgians can enjoy pub crawls armed to the teeth, parents can be packing when picking up their kids at school, and you and I are now free to tote our shootin’ irons into our friendly neighborhood rec center. An earlier version of the measure also would have allowed pistoleros to attend city council meetings. Anyone who’s ever sat through a heated zoning discussion knows that’s a bad idea.
