With Georgia’s new gun law taking effect today, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed released a statement this afternoon that guns will not be allowed at city facilities.
Here’s the statement:
“Effective today, City recreation centers with extensive summer programming will be staffed with security officers to screen entrants and prevent firearms from entering the buildings.
With the exception of certain public safety officials and employees, there is no place for firearms in a city facility. Every City of Atlanta government facility that screens the entrance into the facility with security personnel will continue to prohibit firearms. Furthermore, City of Atlanta employees have all been notified that the new state law does not authorize them to carry firearms while on duty or store weapons in personal vehicles that are parked in secured employee parking lots.
The proliferation of guns in this country poses a serious threat to public safety. The city is taking common-sense measures to secure our buildings and keep our citizens safe.”
Awesome! Our city facilities will now be safe. I am sure they will be so safe that the mayor will ask his security detail to leave their guns at home. Or is there on set of rules for the Ruling Class and another for the plebs?
The proliferation of morons and tyrants in government poses a serious threat to public safety. The People should take common-sense measures to secure THEIR government and keep THEIR liberties safe!
