The City of Atlanta Police Department said the level of gun violence is concerning and are taking steps to remove illegal guns from the streets. "We have to do something about the gun violence in Atlanta," said Sergeant Warren Pickard with Atlanta Police. "As police officers it's very concerning to us the level of gun violence that is taking place in the city." Sergeant Pickard said the department has a gun reduction task force in place. "Operation Whiplash" has allowed officers to move 1,300 guns off the streets since February, said Sergeant Pickard.

| Wouldn't it make the citizens of Atlanta safer if you removed the criminals that use guns from the street? |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
