The resolution would urge members of Savannah’s Legislative Delegation to support common-sense gun-safety legislation, including:

• universal background checks for all gun buyers;
• “red flag” or “extreme risk protective order” legislation to create a legal process for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed to pose an imminent risk of violence to themselves or others;
• bans on assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, armor-piercing ammunition, and bump stocks;
• legislation granting localities the authority to prohibit or restrict the possession, transportation or carrying of firearms into public buildings, publicly approved events, or on other property owned by a locality
• legislation granting municipalities the authority to determine how to dispose of weapons that are unclaimed or have no evidentiary value.
