>The ONLY gun legislation I am concerned with in Georgia is the removal of all restrictions for LEGAL CITIZENS with no criminal records. A law-abiding citizen has the RIGHT to protect himself ANYWHERE.

I’ll one-up you; a freeman (i.e. non-prisoner) should not be debarred the use of arms. I absolutely HATE the once-a-felon you cannot own/use guns laws, even after serving your sentence; I hate the ‘domestic violence’ misdemeanor [or in some cases the mere allegation thereof] disbars their use of weapons laws.

It is no longer enough to qualify those who should be allowed to carry as “law-abiding” for the reason that Ayn Rand pointed out: when the government doesn’t have enough criminals to control [because it cannot control freemen] they simply declare enough things to be illegal that you cannot help but BE a criminal.

We have seen this here with the addition of “repeat misdemeanors become felonies” laws & the proliferation of ‘laws’ which are themselves in contradiction to the ‘supreme law’ of the governing Constitution.

I can sympathize with you but the "spousal abuse" aspect, even if falsely accused, is a question in the Form 4473 that is part and parcel of buying a firearm. Personally, I think there are probably some pretty nasty divorces, etc. that have resulted in accusations of such. And, I have seen cases on TV where the question went both ways. It is a question that is difficult to answer. Truthfully? I don't think the Federal Government has any basis to limit gun ownership. As far as I am concerned, that power is left to the states.

I will say this that if one is convicted of a felony, especially involving a firearm, the right should be abridged unless pardoned by a Governor.
