WHY:"This bill is focused on appeasing those who want to carry their gunsanywhere at any time, with little regard for the safety ofour community. This bill puts our children and families on the front lines of the gun violence epidemic in this country," said Georgia chapter leader Piyali Cole. "As elected officials, these legislators are charged with creating laws that will protect our children and families; not to create laws that protect the profit of the gun lobby."
