Georgia’s state House speaker says lawmakers in 2025 will consider new policies to foster student mental health, detect guns and encourage people to safely store guns after a school shooting killed four at a high school northeast of Atlanta.
But Republican Jon Burns of Newington is stopping short of Democratic demands that include universal background checks, a mandate to safely lock up guns and a “red flag” law letting the state temporarily take guns from someone in crisis.
The proposals made Thursday by Burns are the first policy response to the Sept. 4 shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder.
Did I miss something or are all the proposals funneling taxpayer money to private industry while only suggesting people store guns safer by buying gun safes with tax credits to send money back to gun manufacturers and associates?
Capitalism is forefront to every Republican’s thinking.
