The were partially successful. Atlanta and Columbus passed restrictions that were pretty much on handgun control’s wish list. The GA general assembly passed preemption and invalidated those laws. The mayor of Columbus threatened to have their laws enforced regardless say “We like our gun control laws”. The Stare attorney general told him he could be sued ad he backed off. The Atl city council tried the same thing but were actually recorded stating that they knew it would violate state law. The were told that they would get into personal trouble if they continued and backed off.
