11ALIVE: Rep. Anulewicz and other Democrats in the legislature said the reason they’re asking Gov. Kemp to convene a special session of the General Assembly to consider gun safety legislation is that the bills have broad, public support.

The proposals include:

Universal Background Checks, even for private sales of firearms

Safe Storage of Firearms to protect children from accessing the guns

“Red Flag” Restrictions to prevent those known to be at high risk for hurting themselves, or others, from buying guns

Waiting Periods to Purchase Firearms, possibly for three days, to address situations in which impulse buys might lead to crimes of passion or suicide

“And so we've got to, as a legislature, reflect the conversations that are happening in our communities,” Rep. Anulewicz said. “And the conversations that are happening in our communities are among people who are saying, ‘okay, what can we do? Enough is enough. What can we do?’”
