ATTENTION ALL GEORGIA SHOOTERS!!! MACON IS TRYING TO BAN YOUR GUNS

[bdavison]

Guys, I got a notice from the NRA.

These idiots politicians in Macon are voting today on making the transport, ownership or sell of "assault rifles" in Bibb County illegal.

And if you read what "assault rifle" entails in their language...it bans nearly 50% of the guns I own. They offer no compensation, they just turn it into a felony and confiscate, and then destroy your firearms.

I urge you to QUICKLY call these representatives and absolutly demand that they vote NO to this entire thing.

Bear in mind this doesnt just affect people that live in Macon....if you so much as drive through there with a "assault rifle" they will confiscate it and destroy it.

I just got off the phone with the city council, and the secretary there said "there is nothing to this"...BULLCRAP.

I read the thing. Im so %&*$%& off right now I could scream.

The local gun range that I shoot at is in Macon. They will suffer dramatic loss in business if this thing passes. Not to mention, even though I dont live in Macon, when I shoot, I like to bring my Sig 522. Under their garbage proposed law, it would become a illegal firearm for the stock, the magazine, the muzzle brake, the forearm grip, the handle grip, the action, and the magazine well. They could confiscate my legal gun, and destroy it.

%(*#&$&*(%&#*(@$^&*!@^$&^*#*&%^*&@)($#&* liberals.

Supposedly, the president of the City Council is going to call me back PRIOR to the vote. I fully intend to let him know in no uncertain terms that he should BURN this proposed legislation, and if he doesnt, I will make it my life's mission to launch lawsuit after lawsuit against Bibb County for violating our State Constitution, and our State's Firearms Preemption Law which says....

O.C.G.A. § 16-11-173

Legislative findings; preemption of local regulation and lawsuits; exceptions

(a)(1) It is declared by the General Assembly that the regulation of firearms is properly an issue of general, state-wide concern.

  (2) The General Assembly further declares that the lawful design, marketing, manufacture, and sale of firearms and ammunition to the public is not unreasonably dangerous activity and does not constitute a nuisance per se.

  (b)(1) No county or municipal corporation, by zoning or by ordinance, resolution, or other enactment, shall regulate in any manner gun shows; the possession, ownership, transport, carrying, transfer, sale, purchase, licensing, or registration of firearms or components of firearms; firearms dealers; or dealers in firearms components.

For what it's worth from a Texas resident, I have just sent Mr. Timely an email expressing my displeasure. Shades of Chicago..And in Macon...

I'm sure Duane Allman is turning over in his grave.. >:(

Hang tough - at least you have the state preemption - we just got that in Ohio like 4 - 5 years ago. Before that, driving thru certain towns/suburbs/townships could make one a felon without knowing it. Our state org, Ohioans for Concealed Carry, is in process of suing yet another small town that has ignored the state preemption. So far, we have won every trial, including legal costs.

Please keep us advised!

Good news....

The city council announced today that they are dropping this gun ban issue because of "OVERWHELMING" public opposition. The State Attorney General apparently got involved as well...to remind them that its a violation of state law.

WE WIN!!!!
