Georgia Democrats Introduce ‘Assault Weapon’ Confiscation Bill

by AWR Hawkins13 Jan 20164,309


On January 11, Democrats in Georgia’s state house introduced a bill that bans “assault weapons” and opens the door for the “seizure” of such weapons, along with accessories like “high capacity” magazines.

The bill–HB 731–is sponsored by Mary Margaret Oliver (D-83rd), Stacey Abrams (D-89th), Carolyn Hugley (D-136th), Pat Gardiner (D-57th), Dar’shun Kendrick (D-93rd), Dee Dawkins-Haigler (D-91st).

According to the text of HB 731, the bill focuses on ” dangerous instrumentalities and practices” by prohibiting the “possession, sale, transport, distribution, or use of certain assault weapons, large capacity magazines, armor-piercing bullets, and incendiary .50 caliber bullets.” Moreover, the details punishment for crimes involving “the possession, sale, transport, distribution, or use of certain assault weapons, large capacity magazines, armor-piercing bullets, and incendiary .50 caliber bullets.”

It also “[designates] certain weaponry and ammunition as contraband and [requires] seizure of such by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.”

Representative Mary Margaret Oliver suggests 10 other representatives have joined the six original bill sponsors. An announcement posted to Oliver’s webpage says:


[Oliver] and fifteen Democrat women House members introduced HB 731 on the first day of the 2016 Session. The bill bans assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Georgia needs debate about these weapons which are only used for rapidly killing people. Assault weapons are not necessary for deer hunting.

Pro-Second Amendment group Georgia Carry responded to HB 731 by tweeting, “Dems finally honest about gun control, their ultimate goal is confiscation.”

Since when did "Assault weapons are not necessary for deer hunting." become a qualifying criteria for ownership of those weapons?? THAT LANGUAGE is very very iffy!!! And, should raise red flags EVERYWHERE!

Considering the number of bows and arrows available to hunt with in this day and age, it could be readily argued that NO gun is necessary for deer hunting, that you can kill a deer with a bow. Were the bill passed with language of that nature used as a basis for reason, it establishes precedence. Next would be semi-auto pistols are not necessary for deer hunting. Where does it stop?

I doubt seriously it will gain any traction in Georgia. This one I believe originated out of Atlanta.
 
Rocky,
I agree with your points. The "not necessary for deer hunting" is nothing more than an attempt to put a veil over their real agenda, "CONFISCATION OF GUNS" Again, agreeing with you, this is just a start to attack all weapons. I hope you are right in that it will go nowhere.

Ummmm, can someone show me the word deer or hunting in above?

Guess the police dept's would be willing to give up theirs too then since they don't use them for deer hunting.
