From the article:

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.”

Painful read - no grandfathering and no compensation for weapons surrendered. Wonder if the author(s) read the 5th amendment at all...

Of course they tell us, "Nobody is talking about taking away your guns!", all the time.

Well of course they're not...until they do.

Or "it can't happen here"....until it does.

This is likely playing to their base. These are are women legislators using politics to garner election votes.

To the Democrats in Georgia's state house:

Ha!
Let us know how that works out for ya!

Sort of like republicans sending a bill to Obama to repeal Obama Care.

You could have left out "women".

Remember, no one is going to come take your guns, you bitter conspiracy theorists clinging to your guns.

Hopefully there will be a "recall" election, similar to what happened in Colorado!
