Episode Description from the Publisher

Welcome to The Georgia Politics Podcast! Rep. Michelle Au and Georgia Majority for Gun Safety Founder and Director Heather Hallett join to discuss the ongoing challenges of gun violence in Georgia and across the country. They examine policies and practical steps aimed at reducing firearm deaths and injuries, the role of safe storage, and how lawmakers and advocates are approaching the issue at the state level. The conversation also dives into Georgia's HB 1, legislation that would create a tax credit for the purchase of gun safe storage devices, and what supporters believe the measure could mean for public safety, responsible gun ownership, and preventing accidental shootings and suicides.
