http://edition.cnn.com/2014/04/23/us/georgia-governor-signs-gun-bill/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 [quote]Ellijay, Georgia (CNN) -- Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed a wide-ranging gun bill into law Wednesday that has critics howling and proponents applauding. House Bill 60, or the Safe Carry Protection Act of 2014 -- which opponents have nicknamed the "guns everywhere bill" -- specifies where Georgia residents can carry weapons. Included are provisions that allow residents who have concealed carry permits to take guns into some bars, churches, school zones, government buildings and certain parts of airports. GeorgiaCarry, which lobbied for the bill, calls it "meaningful pro-gun legislation," despite it being watered down from the group's perspective. Still, the group has lauded the legislation, which will go into effect July 1. Americans for Responsible Solutions opposed the bill, calling it "extremism in action." Wednesday's signing came at an open-air picnic area along a creek in Ellijay, in northern Georgia. It opened with a prayer, the singing of the national anthem and a recital of the Pledge of Allegiance. Hundreds of people filled more than 25 picnic tables, while others stood. Many were openly carrying handguns, and some wore National Rifle Association hats and buttons proclaiming, "Stop Gun Control" and "Guns Save Lives."[/quote] So Flood what to you think of this law being passed? I fact what are your guys overall oppinions on gun Controll. Personally I don't think Mentally Ill people should have access to Firearms. I also think we need to limit the kinds of weapons accessible to civilians. Unless you are in the millitary or a Militia or you are a Weapons Manufacture there is absolutely NO REASON that you need a millitary Grade full auto SCAR -blam!-ing H.

  • It is dumb to declare schools "gun free zones" so it was smart to lift that ban. The image I posted kind of makes a good point. Criminals don't follow laws so why would they follow the gun free zone law?

    • The nice thing about having 50 states is that you can localize the effects of whatever you do and see the results. So Georgia relaxes some of its gun laws, and the rest of us will be able to see what goes down.

Without military-grade weapons in the hands of civilians, how are they supposed to have any chance of fighting against a tyrannical government?

                • [spoiler]"Roughly 500,000 Georgia citizens have a permit of this kind, which is approximately 5 percent of our population. License holders have passed background checks and are in good standing with the law. This law gives added protections to those who have played by the rules -- and who can protect themselves and others from those who don't play by the rules."[/spoiler] >Lives in Georgia >Can guarantee you I'm 1000% more likely to be shot be someone without a CCW permit than someone with one.

                • First OP, guns are not the laser firing guns that you find in Call of Duty;You can't hit shit when firing continuously on FA. FA is only used for suppression in combat situations and is just a waste of ammo. Prohibition resulted in increasing gang crime, increasing gangs lead to the shit called the NFA. Hell why is it still even around?

                  [quote]INB4 Real Life No Russian[/quote] Unlikely, nothing is stoping a person from taking a firearm into an airport now except TSA checkpoints... and once you are past the checkpoint you are in federal jurisdiction, not state... so nothing has really changed there. I’m pretty sure that’s right... don’t hold me to it.. I’d have to confirm... [quote]NO REASON that you need a millitary Grade full auto SCAR -blam!-ing H.[/quote] You can’t obtain a fully automatic weapon without a very strict license. It’s cool that you are scared of firearms, but if you are going to make an argument for, or against anything... do some research and know what you are taking about.

                    • I think its a little excessive, but the intent behind it is good. The SCOTUS might invalidate the airport thing underneath the commerce clause though.
