This is a twofer for the Democrats. Both the First and Second Amendments in one fell swoop.
Two Democratic members of the Alabama House of Representatives are sponsoring a bill to make it illegal to carry a gun in a church without permission, even if you have a permit to carry a concealed gun.
Jackson said people should not have to worry about someone carrying a gun while they're in a place of worship.
Melton said he was co-sponsoring the bill because he does not think anyone other than law enforcement should be able to carry firearms in churches.
Jackson said churches can post signs to ban firearms but that it would be better to have a prohibition in the law.
He said he did not know of any specific instances of unwanted guns in churches.

So instead of letting the individual churches handle their own rules there must be a law made.
