Photos: Hundreds Rally at the Georgia Capitol for Gun Rights

Hundreds with hundreds of weapons rallied at the state Capitol on Friday afternoon.

Gun rights advocates continue to fight in Georgia for what they say is their Constitutional guarantee.

Gun rights leaders spoke to the crowds at the Georgia Capitol Friday about potential legislation limiting the amount of rounds a magazine can hold and where guns can be concealed and carried.

A few lawmakers could be seen on the Capitol steps overlooking the crowds that formed, and Capitol police had a good eye on the crowd as well and sported new assault style rifles.

Voters might find it useful to be provided with the names and positions held by members of theRead More "Community Advisory Boards" and the "Human Services Coordinating Committee" as these 2 groups seem to have been provided with enough information to make $4M worth of recommendations to the Board of Commissioners. Conversely, not long ago, a costly audit report revealed that not enough program information had been collected (over a 3 year period) for professional auditors to make programmatic recommendations to the Board of Commissioners. Taxpayers of Fulton County are in dire need of NEW Commissioners who will not continue to buy the garbage, repeatedly, placed before them by the Director of Housing and Human Services: Gerry Easley. It would also be beneficial for taxpayers to be provided with the list of names of individual government employees who did receive permanent salary increases, during the last 5 year, when no county-wide permanent raises were approved of by the Board of Commissioners.
