Roy Cooper The Goober

RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a bill Monday that would do away with the Jim Crow era permit someone must obtain from a county sheriff before buying a pistol, turning back a key agenda item of conservative gun-rights activists.
Cooper’s veto was expected, and an override will be difficult for Republicans who control the General Assembly since they lack veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate. Only two Democrats – both in the House – voted for doing away with the pistol purchase permitting system, which goes back more than 100 years.
Most North Carolinians know nothing about this requirement until they attempt to go purchase a firearm for the first time. That happened a lot this past year.
People become incensed when they learn about it.
But there are enough progs in Mecklenburg and Wake Counties that we can’t seem to rid ourselves of the controllers.
So there you have it. If you voted for the Goober and his Goober wife, are you proud?
