Done did yesterday e-mailed and called. Sounded like they were danged busy! When I asked the secretaries if they knew of HB 60, they quickly replied "oh yes" and my reply was I expect so after what just happened to HB 875. It appears they are pretty busy. I made note to tell them I'm registered GA. voter as a bunch of out of state calls/emails are probably coming in from from out state (MAIG, Mom's Who Demand and Gabby's Gun Non-Sense coalition).

Keep the heat on.... Tell every gun dude/ette, store and pro-2A supporter about this. Nearly everyone I spoke to is not aware their rights are being toyed with a legislative shell game...

Accordingly, your NRA is now tirelessly working to support the amended version of HB 60 and will continue to push this legislation in the Senate.

Bill Heath (my senator) is in for the yes vote. This last minute stuff sure is rough on the nerves! I'm optimistic that we can make it happen this year. All we need is an up and down vote, which I believe we would have locked down. No where to hide when it hits the floor. Right now we need the pressure to get it there. Deal and cagle are first on my list to put pressure on. Call them up!

When I called, one lady asked me if I contacted my Senator (a strong anti-gun Democrat), I informed her he would vote party line on HB 60.

One issue of complacency is allowing the elected to make poor decisions and not hear about it. It only serves to embolden them to make even worse decisions as they are unaware. Take a moment and current law has included misdemeanor Domestic Violence as a contention to lose a right to posses and bear arms.

This republican senator seems to think the conviction of Domestic battery is valid enough to strip the right of self-defense from an individual, for public safety. Battery is an all to easy to attain charge and more so during a divorce (nearly half of marriages) or live in partner.

If we think it's a valid policy then all one needs to do is be silent. However, if we consider it a punishment unbefitting of the crime then we had better contact him. If it doesn't go through this time it will appear later if in our silence we condone its restriction. Interestingly he claims his occupation: Security and Education: U.S. Military Academy. Does he understand just what battery consist of and the ease of attaining it with a vindictive spouse or partner?

He is a decorated U.S. Army Ranger. He has been a sponsor of numerous pro-gun bills and has been a friend to the 2nd Amendment with his past legislation and voting record. I think a well written e-mail and perhaps a phone call will be my response.

His bio (worth the read) http://www.senate.ga.gov/senators/Documents/PrintBios/BioHillHunter803.pdf

Understand just where did the push for making a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction a contention to losing your rights, why? It was based upon the widely discredited work of Dr. Kellerman, Emory Unv. with public funds through CDC grants 20 years ago during Clinton's attack upon the 2A. It was published without peer review in the New England Journal of Medicine and widely used in legislation to enact restrictions upon the 2A. However it was a "LIE". The majority of deaths in Kellerman's junk science studies were from suicide. The "you're more likely to be shot by someone you know": 1). Includes rival gang shootings (a bulk of the data), 2). Omits defensive use of firearms where no one was killed (the bulk of data) to come to the flawed biased conclusion.

Dr. Kellerman refused to reveal his data for peer review but caved under pressure years later and for good reason he did not want the review. His data was biased and ignored critical data to make an honest claim but then when have anti-gun prohibition made honest claims... But the damage had been done and the airwaves were flooded with the anti-gun propaganda, which helped mold public perception and form public law.

MAIG-Mothers Who Demand Action and all the others still quote this widely discredited study even today to promote and further their agenda and help form restrictive laws, and still there are those all too willingly allow themselves to be deceived as it supports their perception, perception formed from junk science and the media......

The irony is women are most often the first to commit battery, men just don't pursue the charge to conviction as often. So making domestic battery a stipulation in stripping rights effects potentially who most?
