Americans for Responsible Solutions, founded by Gabrielle Giffords, the former Arizona congresswoman who was critically wounded in a mass shooting in 2011, calls it “the most extreme gun bill in America” and the “guns everywhere” legislation. The National Rifle Association, which lobbied for the bill, calls it “the most comprehensive pro-gun” bill in recent state history, and described the vote at the Capitol on Thursday as “a historic victory for the Second Amendment.”

I doubt that. More like founded by the foul, wife-abusing piece of dog turd Mark Kelly.
It was historic.. HB60 restores rights that we should enjoy under the 2nd amendment without more laws...
Georgia is home to DEMOCRATS who passed gun laws to keep Blacks from legally owning firearms...
You can now thank REPUBLICANS for moving the ball in the other direction... I won’t hold my breath...
There is nothing in this legislation that expands anyone’s ability to carry a gun. It just allows property owners, instead of the state, to decide if people can carry guns on their property.
Well before we get carried way here the GA legislation is not exactly ground breaking. They have totally shelved the Constitutional Carry bill and have instead voted in a watered down version of a bill that expands the places you can concealed carry. Churches can opt in. It also exempts concealed carry holders from being re-finger printed when they re-up their license.
One thing I do really like about the GA bill is that it expressly states that in a time of emergency (martial law etc) the authorities cannot come around and confiscate weapons.
Its better than nothing.
Shut up, your brain-damaged witch.
This article is actually funny if you consider all of the histrionics and warnings in comparison to Arizona, where constitutional carry is in effect. Georgia seems downright stodgy by comparison.
Arizona, no licenses at all. Why shouldn’t Georgia do that as well? Do they think that Georgians are not as capable as Arizonans?
Yet all the arguments against gun liberty in Georgia pretend that Arizona doesn’t exist, I guess.
