It is assumed it is DOA but these people need to be stopped and recalled.

Six Democrats in Georgia’s state House of Representatives unveiled a bill on Jan. 11 that would “require seizure” of “certain weaponry and ammunition” that is deemed as contraband, effectively banning “assault weapons” and “large-capacity magazines.”

HB 731, which is sponsored by Mary Margaret Oliver, Carolyn Hugley, Pat Gardiner, Stacey Abrams, Dar’shun Kendrick and Dee Dawkins-Haigler, would amend current law to “prohibit the possession, sale, transport, distribution or use of certain assault weapons, large capacity magazines, armor-piercing bullets, and incendiary .50 caliber bullets.”

The text of the bill goes on to say that certain weapons would be required to be seized by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, with increased penalties for use and possession of machine guns, among other related regulations.

Information posted to sponsor Oliver’s website clearly notes that HB 731, which was introduced on the first day of the 2016 session, would “ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”

In the same statement, the Democratic representative made her stance on the sale of certain guns more than clear.

“Georgia needs debate about these weapons which are only used for rapidly killing people,” the statement read. “Assault weapons are not necessary for deer hunting.”

The text of HB 731 proclaims that the sale, possession or distribution of “any assault weapon” will come at a profound cost.

“No person shall possess, distribute, transport, transfer, or sell any assault weapon,” it reads. “Any person who distributes, transports, or imports an assault weapon into this state shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than two nor more than ten years.”

Link for the definitions of “assault rifles” is broken at this time.

Washington State seems to have a similar bill ready to push through as well.

Apparently, they would like the stomach-churning carnage of the next American civil war to start in Georgia, their own back yard. If so, they are not long for this world.

Assault rifle... any rifle that is used in an assault, much like an assault rock... assault stick... assault fist... assault bologna loaf.

Or as the media explain... a big mean scary black rifle.

".....would be required to be seized by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation..."

What happens when they run out of agents?

Wonder if any of the Democrat women own stock in a gun manufacturing company... ‘cause those companies will be doing a brisk business in Georgia until this blows over.
