The General Assembly has reconvened and is beginning to hear bills. One gun control (SB208 - which would repeal Georgia’s Stand Your Ground Law) bill has been introduced and it is expected that a new gun bill will be introduced soon. The new bill is not finalized yet there are those spreading rumors as to the dire consequences of passing the new legislation. There is no bill. There is no finalized language and your rights are not on the table for anyone to negotiate away. Everyone needs to take a deep breath and wait until the bill is dropped and see what is in it before people start opposing it or any language in the bill. As soon as the information is available, we will publish a link to the bill so that you may view it and understand what is in the bill. Obviously, SB101 and HB512 are, at least for the time being off the table. We don’t expect them to move anywhere due to the new bill that is being offered. The new bill will start the process over with committee hearings. We have been told that it will move quickly with little to no delay. Please wait until the language is complete and you are informed of the language before calling about specifics on a gun bill. It is fine to keep in contact with your elected officials and ask that the support gun rights but it is totally unnecessary for you to bombard them will calls that are without merit. As we have stated in the past and continue to state, please show your elected officials respect when contacting them in any manner. Threats of never voting for them, etc. get you nowhere very quickly and hurt, rather than help our cause. In some of the items below, you will find information to help you fight all our opponents. That includes those claiming to be 2A supporters to those whom we know to be gun prohibitionists.
