I bet Buford Pusser would have a thing or two to say about this...

The azzholes never let up.

“......require current owners to either render their classified guns inoperable or surrender them to law enforcement officers within ninety days.”

The federal laws occupy the field of regulating such weapons,and such a city ordinance
may be freely disobeyed by citizens as illegally unconstitutional.

BANG! In a state with a statewide firearms preemption law, this is a queer move. IMHO, it's either a political stunt for publicity by Virgil Watkins, or they want to collect the names of those who would protest it. Any other reason escapes me.

It's time for Georgia to go Constitutional carry. I spent over three years in Columbus in the early 1990s. As far as I know only concealed carry permits are registered.

[HammerT]

Yeah, I’m sure the criminals a will obey that law.

Notice the Obozo 2012 ad in the banner on the top of the page.

He is an Obamanista. No surprise here.

LOL, love some of the guns on the ban list (which they obviously lifted verbatim from the 1994 AWB). A lot of those are rare collector’s items now, and some never existed at all.

In Georgia? Heart of the South? Good luck with that!

Use those email addresses, people! Those in-boxes should get fried with emails.

From the linked PDF (first link in the article):

NOW THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO THE HOME RULE AUTHORITY OF THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, AS VESTED IN IT BY THE ILLINOIS CONSITUTION OF 1970, HEREBY AMEND PORTIONS OF THE ORDINANCE, [...]

Now, why would a portion of a GA legislation reference as authoritative the IL Constitution?

[Joe Brower]

Yeah, what the heck is going on in Georgia? Macon is a fair-sized city, though, and we know how all too often their mayors are little more than tin-pot dictator wannabees...

If GA does have statewide preemption, then this clown will be soon getting a stern letter from the AG, assuming that individual is worth their salt.

based on language from a Cook County, Illinois proposed gun ban

Oh, that's such a great model to work from. /s

[Condor51]

The Macon City Council Public Safety Committee is scheduled to meet this Thursday, September 15, at 4:00 p.m. to discuss a city-wide gun ban, based on language from a Cook County, Illinois proposed gun ban.

Not to get technical, but I will. But that C_rook County Gun Ban went into effect a few years ago -- and nobody noticed. It was passed in the dead of night and got one paragraph of coverage in the Chicago Tribune. I only found it by accident.

And not to be a party popper to the gun grabbers, but not one 'Assault Weapon' in C_rook County was turned in 'to be destroyed'. And in all these years it hasn't been reported once, that a single person was arrested for violating ANY of those STOO-PID^™ provisions.

So lots-o-luck Macon.
