Last spring, I traveled through Clyde’s House district in northeast Georgia to attend a wedding, and the gun dealer’s ubiquitous campaign signs all featured the same image, which I could no more forget than the “ Whiskey, Steak, Guns & Freedom ” T-shirts all the servers were wearing at the reception.
