Georgia lawmakers have put forth several gun control bills this year, including a measure that would call on law enforcement to seize and destroy what the proposal deems "assault weapons" from gun owners.

A major purpose of HB 731 is "to designate certain weaponry and ammunition as contraband and to require seizure of such by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation." ...

No.

Your move.

[driftdiver]

You first.

[Durbin]

So, they can seize any firearm that isn’t a revolver?

Like one commenter said,

“This didn’t even pass in Connecticut,think it will pass in Ga?”

[ManHunter]

How would you like to be a GBI agent when that law goes into effect? I’ve spoken to a lot of PA state troopers who unequivocally state there’s no way they would participate in gun confiscation.

[Olog-hai]

I read that. I would expect it being put into a bill in CT, but GA?

[SkyDancer]

Lots of lakes in and about GA?

[PROCON]

Several Georgia FReepers has pointed out that their state legislature is controlled by republicans and this is D.O.A.

[Blueflag]

I live on one.

Deep.

Muddy bottom, lots of snags.

SONAR useless.

Good luck with telling some law-abiding, taxpaying, and hardworking person their prized $5000 customized rifle is now suddenly illegal to own. Yeah, right.

The speaker of the GA House of Representatives has already said that any gun control bills are going nowhere. These bills are being introduced by democrats. Not to worry...

[mort56]

Not a chance in hell of this passing. That I can guarantee.

Stupid F*#$k#@ have nothing better to introduce. Waste of taxpayer money.

[Georgia Girl 2]

For all non Georgia citizens be aware that the GOP holds a near super majority in both state houses. There will be no gun control bill that gets out of committee.

[Blue Jays]

That is probably the last work assignment some trooper wants to be given.
Getting instructions to go hassle otherwise peaceful people who keep to themselves and aren't bothering anyone? Ugggh.
No thanks! If I was in that role I would MUCH prefer to let big sleeping dogs lie.

Same here although it’s an inlet that goes for miles, center depth around 1600 feet or so. Good shrimping and crabbing too, with salmon running into it. Lots of boats on the water and accidents happen.

[CGASMIA68]

people need to start recognizing the A holes that present this crap for what they are and remove them from office

[Constitution Day]

Good luck with all that, Georgia.

Mothers, it may be time to get your good “little boys” out of the GBI/police department...
