I'm from the backwoods, so my opinion on gun control probably isn't the most favorable. But, I really am beginning to hate the way that the Savannah Morning News ends their stories. The endings are either unrelated or unnecessary.
Here's the ending for this article:
'Spencer is picking up the mantel of two of the legislators who have sponsored bills in recent years relaxing gun-control laws. Each just took appointments in the Deal administration and left the General Assembly. Spencer may not have the same luck as Sen. Mitch Seabaugh, R-Sharpsburg, and ex-Rep. Tim Bearden, R-Villa Rica, because he doesn’t have their seniority in the legislature nor their leadership sway since both were committee chairmen.
Spencer was elected last year and quickly learned how little influence a freshman has when he was drawn into the same district with veteran Rep. Mark Hatfield, R-Waycross.'
Why is this related to the gun control story? I don't think Spencer's 'lesson' is related to the issue at hand at all. Freshmen representatives learn lessons like freshmen in college learn them: It's things that the senior people have learned already and aren't that impressed with. It's a part of life, and a part of being a politician.
