    | 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 |  
              | 
                    
                      | "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 |  |  |
