Earlier this week, I wrote about the proposal by the mayor of Savannah, Georgia to pass a city ordinance that would require people to report lost or stolen guns and for people to lock up their guns when left in unattended vehicles.
Now, these aren’t the most horrific gun control laws imaginable, but they’re still gun control laws. Savannah is in Georgia, as I already noted. Georgia, however, is a preemption state. That means he can’t legally enact gun control laws.
I gave him a bit of hell over it, but I was far from the last to say something.
It seems he’s catching some much-deserved heat.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) is questioning the legality of the law.
“The mayor of Savannah is out of state code by even attempting to do this, and if the city attempts to vote this ordinance in and approve it, they’ll be in direct violation of the state pre-emption law, which is in Title 16 of the Georgia code,” said Art Thomm, the State Director of Legislative Affairs for the NRA.
Thomm says the NRA will take action if the law is put into place.
“I can assure you that the NRA is on top of this. We will be communicating with the proper entities and authorities and the general assembly as well and the leadership there to ensure that they understand that some folks are trying to go rogue on them in the state and if it does have to go to litigation the NRA will be there as well.”
