Frequently Asked Questions

What is Georgia's SB-281?

SB-281 is a proposed firearms and weapons act in Georgia that includes provisions for an assault weapons ban, magazine capacity restrictions, and new regulations for firearm dealers. It is currently unlikely to pass due to Republican control of the state legislature.

How does SB-281 affect common firearms?

The bill's language is broad, potentially banning virtually all semi-automatic firearms, including common hunting shotguns. A 'six-shot' clause specifically targets handguns with standard magazines, like the 1911, effectively banning most common handgun models.

What are the proposed dealer regulations in SB-281?

SB-281 mandates stringent storage requirements for firearm dealers, such as using steel rods with hardened locks through trigger guards or storing all firearms in vaults. These measures are criticized as impractical and designed to make firearm dealing excessively burdensome.

Why is it important to contact representatives about SB-281?

Even though SB-281 is unlikely to pass, contacting representatives is crucial to voice concerns about firearm legislation. This engagement helps inform lawmakers about constituent views on Second Amendment rights and the potential impact of proposed bills.
