A judge declined on Tuesday to suspend a Georgia law that requires people to have a license to carry a handgun after a gun rights group raised concerns because licenses aren’t being issued during the coronavirus emergency.
The same day that Gov. Brian Kemp declared a public health state of emergency, the chief judge of the Georgia Supreme Court declared a judicial emergency and instructed courts statewide to “suspend all but essential court functions” to help stem the spread of the virus. Several days later, the Council of Probate Court Judges of Georgia issued a memo saying the issuance of weapons carry licenses would be temporarily suspended. |

THE GEORGIA JUDGES DO NOT HAVE STANDING TO SUSPEND GUN LICENSE ISSUANCE DURING THIS PERIOD. IT WILL TAKE THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT TO RULE ON THIS MATTER AND I DOUBT THEY WOULD RULE ON THIS BLATENT VIOLATION OF THE SECOND ADMENDMENT. THESE JUDGES SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON BY INTENTIONALLY VIOLATING THEIR SWORN DUTY. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
