An obscure Georgia gun law is expected to get some attention in the coming session of the Georgia legislature. The law requires police agencies to sell guns confiscated in burglary and robbery cases. A bill has already been filed to repeal it.
The Atlanta Police Department has thousands of confiscated guns sitting in its property room – despite a law on the books requiring APD and other police agencies to do so.
"I think guns off the street is a good thing. Let's leave them off the street," said state Sen. Elena Parent (D-Atlanta), when asked her opinion about the law. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
