Atlanta, Georgia — Last March, SEVEN Georgia Republican State Senators voted for gun control — SB 150, the Georgia Lautenberg Gun Ban — in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
They are Senators Bill Ligon, Bill Heath, Jesse Stone, Blake Tillery, Brian Strickland, John Kennedy, and Bill Cowsert.
SB 150 — the Georgia Lautenberg Gun Ban, expands greatly the federal Lautenberg Domestic Gun Ban that was passed in the late 90s. This is anti-gun Michael Bloomberg’s lobbyist’s #1 issue at the Capitol in Atlanta.
This bill is written and authored by Michael Bloomberg’s lobbyists and introduced by radical, anti-gun State Senator Jen Jordan.
Last March, when the state’s only no-compromise Second Amendment organization, Georgia Gun Owners, snapped into action, gun owners across the state poured more than 30,000 calls, emails, and petitions into the Capitol within 48 hours, and the bill was dead.
But state capitol sources continue to say that this bill could come back in 2020 (this year).
Please send an email to these Senators directly using the form below and tell them you are OPPOSED to SB 150 or any other gun control legislation!

Many believe the Lautenberg Gun Ban is responsible for disarming more Americans than any other single piece of legislation in American history.
The Georgia version of this bill is a duplication of the federal bill, but goes even further, denying due process when confiscating firearms, as well as expands greatly the definition of “domestic partner” in a domestic dispute.

Domestic situations often are “he said, she said” and in many cases, very difficult to determine what actually happened.
This is how Gun Owners of America described Lautenberg:
With the Lautenberg gun ban in place, a new category of “victim” is emerging as a result of these tougher state laws – like the one in Virginia.
“A lot of times, I think arrests are being made when they shouldn’t be,” says Kenneth E. Noyes, staff attorney and coordinator of the domestic violence project for Legal Services of Northern Virginia.
He is not alone in this opinion.

“I am stunned, quite frankly, because that was not the intention of the law,” says Judith Mueller of the Virginia-based Women’s Center.
“It’s disheartening to think that it could be used punitively and frivolously. Frivolously being the operative word.”
