Legality Of Open Carry Blamed For Violence In Atlanta

Bottoms explained that the shooting violence is “happening across the country” and is a combination of a “lack of access to healthcare,” unemployment, coronavirus and injustices seen across the country. She then added that Georgia is an “open carry state,” which allows people to “walk down the streets with assault weapons” without being stopped for probable cause.
“What’s happening in Atlanta is what’s happening across the country. There is a combination of things,” Bottoms replied. “There are … these systemic issues, including lack of access to healthcare, including people being unemployed, people are dying of COVID-19. We witness the injustices that have happened in front of our eyes, and it’s boiling over into our streets. It’s happening in Atlanta. It’s happening across the country.”
“The irony of it is that our overall crime rate is down by 18%. But in Georgia, an open carry state, people are allowed to walk down the streets with assault weapons and we don’t have probable cause to stop them,” she continued. “You don’t get to pick and choose which demographic you get to stop and question as to why they are walking in our streets with open weapons. It is an issue in Atlanta. It’s an issue in other cities across this nation, and it is one that we take very seriously.
Shut up, she explained.
So no I won’t shut up. And I’ll explain a few things. Braselton, Ga., has a violent crime rate of 0.09 per year per 1000 residents. And yet open carry is legal in Braselton just like it is in Atlanta.
The Atlanta crime rate, on the other hand, is 7.69 per 1000. So now that I’ve explained this, I’ll turn it back over to idiot mayor Bottoms.
Take it away. Now explain how open carry is responsible for crime in Atlanta. Go ahead.

I’m outside metro ATL (NE) area and see very few Open Carry folks. It’s rare but I have seen them. Bottoms is doing what statists do, deflect. Or call you a sexist or racist when in disagreement with the Governor.
Only open carry I’ve seen recently is outside the burned out Wendy’s in ATL and used against eight year olds. If it wasn’t for the airport being where it is, I steer clear at all costs.

Everyone that can make change and spell his own name knows this is BS.
The reason for the crime is the defacto endorsement off the Democrat Communist Terror groups, BLM and ANTIFA and a couple more.
Instead of Law and Order, protecting Citizens, businesses and the country, the Atlanta Mayor is in conspiracy with other Democrat ne Communists Mayors and Governors across our great country to foment Rebellion and a Civil War. They are counting on complacency and fear of the other 98% of Americans who own over a billion firearms and trillions of rounds of ammo to let them just walk over us, to stomp on us and destroy our Blessed Republic.
The Mayor of Atlanta is the one directly responsible for the lawlessness, terrorism and murders in Atlanta, is a criminal for not upholding her oath and not protecting the Citizens with a purpose most foul and treasonous.
She directly bares the blame and the whole world knows it! MSNBC and CNN and others that carry the water for the Communists rre jokes and no sensible person watches them!

Oh, miz Bottoms. You could wade through the ocean of her intellect and never get you feet wet.
If the gov’ner had not stepped in and stationed the Guard in downtown Hotlanta it would look just like Portlandia. And the Guard is still there to the first lady of Hotlanta’s disgust.
“lack of access to healthcare” I guess she forgot about the revolving door at Grady Hospital. Much like the Devil she worships, she is unable to utter a phrase without lying.
