The substitute SB1 and the HR147 by anti-gun ring leader Benefield have almost identical language. Make no mistake about it, this is an organized sneak attack on Ga gun owners

They won't get my guns. Well, imagine this scenario. An antigunner brings a 17 year old to your house. In the course of the conversation it comes up that you have firearms. The antigunner leaves. You then find yourself arrested and convicted and imprisioned for 10 years for causing severe mental anguish to the 17 year old by the 17 year old's knowing that you had guns in the house.

Just got a call from CSG legislative coordinator George Hills that Brian Joyce (R dist 1 - Lookout Mountain) has agreed to show up and testify against the bill. Anyone else who can get away will be good. Last time Tanksley had the committee stacked with govt prosecutors.

The Socialists who wish to disarm us (or otherwise take away our rights) almost always exploit "the children". That way, if you come out against them, you are "against children". Never mind that a gun in the home is much more likely to be used to defend the children that live there!
Good luck guys!

Nobody uses it, except as a term of derision.

The gal who answered the phone at Tanksly's office sounded a little testy, and told me that the committee meeting had been cancelled, that I had wrong information.
If we didn't have to worry about this kind of nonsense getting passed in the dark of night, they wouldn't have to take the phone calls. . . .

Contact is good, showing up and testifying against it is better.(if you can - they threw this in at short notice to make sure that people couldn't get there to testify)

Cancel the meeting at 1:45 and reschedule one for 2:00. I don't know if she's lying or what the new schedule is. Without going there isn't any way to tell. I know a couple of people who are going anyway and I hope one of them will call with info when he gets there. I've been to these meetings, and frequently the only way you know what's going on is to see s little yellow stickie on the door of the meeting room. The meeting may really have been cancelled due to heat on the members. But even if the secretary is lying, this is good news. They're starting to feel the pressure

I just called the Senate Information Office, and just asked for committee meeting information, "because the information on the web site is out of date". The helpful young man who answered came up with a schedule and read to me all of the scheduled committee meetings for this week (i.e. he didn't know why I was calling).
They were all for today and tomorrow, with the rest of the week all about budget. He had a meeting of "Special Judiciary Committee" for tomorrow at 3:30 in his schedule. I don't know how that differs from just the Judiciary Committee. He also noted that "these committee meetings change all the time".
I may have to wander down there tomorrow afternoon.

Special Judiciary is a completely separate committee. No relationship to Tanksley's committee. If the guys call me, I'll let you know. They're going anyway just in case.

Where does Sunny stand on this? Word is he'll sign it. Note this is a second hand opinion and purely hearsay on my part.

They used the same cant in New Jersey to get their "smart gun" bill passed.
Tack on "for the children" to any legislation and they feel they can get it approved.
Fortunately for Georgia gun-owners, Georgia is not New Jersey or Kalifornia or Taxachusetts.
The way to "protect children" is for people to stop producing fatherless offspring, to become caring and observant parents, and to teach your kids to understand the meaning of a few words, like respect, honor, obedience and
"no".
Its most interesting that this anti-gun stuff invariably appears in representive districts where a substantial part of the populace for some reason has a problem forming permanent marriage unions before producing offspring, and then expects society as a whole to twist itself around and alter the rules for everyone to protect the results of their failure to behave like decent moral people instead of rutting swine they have become.

Woops my bad. The house bill is HB197 not 147. Two of the co-sponsors are moo moo (Mary Margaret) Oliver and SS Benefield. Two of the most notorious anti-gunners in the Ga General assembly.

You did forget one VERY important detail about protecting children; get those who would hurt children off the streets - either in jail or in the ground. However, that is the one thing that those who push "gun control" NEVER want to do!

Didn't see this until Monday afternoon. Any more information?
I am stuck not being able to call - company phone only. I see that 'my' senator - Kemp - was one of the sponsors of this bill. I also see from your post that he sits on the J committee. (Voted against him but he just won't go away.)
All his campaign literature called him "hunter friendly" but now we have this. Tried to research his past stance on RKBA issues with no luck. Anyone have a good weblink on state legislator's positions?
I don't know if he just writes vague (read:stupid) legislation or is a true Democrat in the vein of Barnes' old ramrod crew.
