Georgia's new gun laws

The thing is, this new law probably isn't going to make any difference at all in Georgia. Just like banning all firearms wouldn't make any difference in Chicago, or requiring that everyone between the ages of birth and death carry an AK-47 at all times wouldn't make a difference in Texas.
