Marietta, GA — “Less than a year after a shooting spree left eight Georgians dead in three spas across metro Atlanta, state officials are trying to make it easier for anybody to wield guns around our children, around our families, and throughout our communities.

“My own son was murdered in a senseless act of gun violence, and we cannot continue to let those who know nothing of gun safety put the lives of our children on the line.

“These irresponsible laws are dangerous for law enforcement, dangerous for families, and they have no place in our state. We must do better.”
