HB 731

[greg vess]

WORD!

 

[va87]

It is very sad and scary at the same time. Six pathetically uneducated women decide to write a bill that tramples our rights and takes our property, then threatens jail time. They must have taken their lines right out of Nazi Germanys play book. If they had done their home work, they would learn that less than 2% of all gun crimes are committed with any kind of long gun. More people drown in pools each year than are killed with modern sporting rifles. Ladies, the modern sporting rifle is also a very popular platform for hunters as well. More feel good legislation by the ignorant.

It isn't about guns, or crime, or hunting, or any of that. It is about POWER, and these feckless cunts want to have absolute dictatorial power over you , your family, your decisions, YOUR LIFE!!!
Much as I wish and pray it weren't so, I fear this is now the only viable solution left to us..........

“As a Christian, I think gun violence is an issue Georgians want to discuss in a fair and rational way,” Rep. Oliver said at a press conference announcing the bill on Thursday, January 14, 2016.

What about trespass upon another?

Assault weapons are defined, in this bill, as fully automatic, semiautomatic, or burst fire guns that fire multiple high-velocity rounds quickly. With burst fire guns, one pulls the trigger only once; and the weapons will continue to shot multiple rounds even if the person loses control of the gun.

I gotta catch my breath.....I didn't even have to point out "shoot" was misspelled.

“Ordinary citizens do not need assault weapons to hunt quail… they are meant for killing and harming human beings,” Rev. Gary Charles, Sr. Pastor, Central Presbyterian Church, said at the press conference.

“These weapons are created for one purpose to kill, disfigure, and to terrorize. These assault weapons do not belong in our homes and our communities,” Rev. David Lewicki, Chair, Presbyterians for Better Georgia and Co-Pastor, North Decatur Presbyterian Church, said.

As previously reported by Atlanta Progressive News, at several demonstrations in the Atlanta area over the last several years, this reporter has witnessed men carrying AK 47 assault weapons. They say it is their Second Amendment right, or to protect the public, but everyone knows, even the police, that they are trying to intimidate people on the other side of an issue.

Or simply exercising their right.

“If you can’t hear anything else, hear this; having these extreme weapons in the hand of people who have no business having them makes me fear for our law enforcement, ” Rev. Robert Wright, Bishop, Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, said.

This bill will require people who possess assault weapons to render the weapon inoperable or turn it into the Georgia Bureau of Investigation by the end of October 2016.



Pro-gun folks are already yelling that Democrats are trying to take their guns away.

WOW! Behold the liberal mind.

Just part of the Communist plan to create precedents:

- firearms are a disease and subject to government control (gov is excepted ,of course) CDC got millions of tax payer $ just on this studies
- firearms ownership is a mental disorder subject to mandatory government intervention
- firearms and other private property regulation, registration and confiscation as precedent for redistribution of wealth
- firearms owners labeled as terrorists and a threat to socialist policies
- firearms ownership declared not an absolute God given right under the 2nd (see separation of state and religion)

See just how all the democrap policies revolve around this very issue? Healthcare, socialized medicine, housing for minorities, attacks on our culture, religion and way of life is just an effort to bring the last bastion of freedom left in the world, in line with the European and global policies of the "Internationala" or world wide socialism.

Damn, ten pages devoted to crap that hasn't a chance in hell of seeing daylight, much less pass.

Probably what many Germans said in 1933 too.
Likely.....you are right. But in 1982, did you ever think for one second we would be where we are now?
Eternal vigilance anyone?

The Germans were all for the restrictions at that time, and the political atmosphere was ripe for taking of rights.
In 1982 Guns were much more restricted, and politically the climate was not as friendly to 2nd as now.
We are winning the fight, that's why the libs are freaking out and proposing all this stuff. Red meat for the die hard lib voter.
What you need to watch for are the small stuff that desensitize the voters and eventually makes them willing to except more.

I can't believe that over 200 posts and no one posted Speaker David Ralston's epic comment:

"It is taking away the right to possess and bear arms, and you can put lipstick on that pig all you want, but it's still a pig, and it's not going to be something that we're going to deal with in this House," Ralston said.

Good! I appreciate him saying that. But given that he was responsible in a large part for about a $1B dollar tax increase for all of us last year.....I consider his words with a somewhat jaundiced, wary eye.
I do not trust a single one of them up there. NOT. ONE. They are politicians, which by definition makes them suspect and dubious at best. Mary Margret and her fellow walking dead mutants will push for this. I hope Ralston& company have the integrity and fortitude to defeat them cold!
We shall see.
Meanwhile.......the alarm sounds, as it should!

va87,

I agree with you on the transportation tax increase. While it was happening, I sent notes to both the Speaker, who is also my representative, and my Senator, Steve Gooch. I asked them to legalize recreational marijuana and use the tax from that on the roads; that didn't happen. FWIW, the argument is that fuel efficient vehicles have so reduced the income from fuel taxes that the tax had to be changed. I drive a four ton Ford Excursion that gets nearly 20 mpg running around here as an example of that. Also, the income from the Feds for roads has been substantially reduced. The State DOT was in a bind.

None the less, Speaker Ralston is not allowing HB 731 to move forward; you can count on that.
