#Georgia #GunLaws scorecard is “F” - as in fail.
Georgia has very weak gun laws & is a major exporter of #crime #guns to other states. Lawmakers have an obligation to do more to save lives from #GunViolence.

The Deep State's Latest Gun Grab Move.
This video was on YouTube initially, this morning, but mysteriously got deleted or flagged. Not to worry, we have located other copies. The regime has no problems with criminals doing criminal things with their guns but they do have problems with an armed citizenry. One wonders why. Anyway, we shall see if we truly get our rights from god or man and if we aren't a society built on morals and laws then we will reach our level of balance.
The deep state knows that it is outnumbered, and thus, outgunned and that fact, seems to worry them. They have shown how they deal with their political enemies even nuclear powered ones and we should take note. They are going so far as to turn family members into operatives for the state, in their efforts to disarm us using the same kind of lawfare which they've been using against Donald Trump and other people who dare stand against them. We cannot underestimate their motives.
For all we know, they may be the very sponsors of all the mass shootings that have been witnessed over these past decades and one should ask the question, of just whom those shootings benefit. It is well known how relentless the enemies of freedom are and they will not stop, unless we stop them, with our voices, our votes, our numbers and our money, for starters. We have the ultimate power and we always have choices. Thanks for your time.

Maine Shooter, Robert Card, Again Triggers Gun Control Debate with #AR15 Rifle Use. Maine has very few foundational gun safety laws, and its "yellow flag" law is under scrutiny. After some initial criticism that the law wasn’t being used enough, the number of orders doubled in the last year, with at least 30 issued since June 2022. #Telehealth #redflaglaws

Thank you @georgetakei !
One huge #gunsafety #legislation #DavidHogg & #GenZ followers got passed in Florida were #RedFlag laws.
"because of the laws that we created we disarmed somebody who said, who threaten to kill my own mother, through a court order with a right to due process. And that law, that we created, has now been used nearly 6,000 times in the state of Florida to disarm people that are at risk themselves or others. These laws do work."
