For anyone wondering about Georgia’s gun control laws:

-No background checks

-No purchase permit laws

-K-12 teachers are allowed to carry

-No red flag laws

-No bans on high capacity magazines

-No secured gun storage required

-Open carry / no concealed carry permit required

-No ghost gun regulations

-People with assault or violent misdemeanors can carry guns

-Colleges and universities must allow guns on campus

-Minors can possess rifles and shotguns

But Brian Kemp is urging all Georgians to pray for the safety of those in the classroom!!

I'm willing to bet this 13 year old didn't walk into a gun store and make a purchase. I see this as a failure by the parents for being negligent with their firearm(s). Maybe one of those laws would have prevented them from making a purchase though.

His father bought it for him as a present, which is legal, as I pointed out, because minors can own guns in Georgia.
