From Savannah, GA:
SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) - We could soon become one step closer to fighting gun violence in Savannah.
House Bill 657 has passed through the Georgia house and could soon make it a felony for anyone in the state to give firearms to a convicted felon.
Leaders in our area have heard the public’s pleas to end gun violence, and that fight has ascended to the state level and seems to be making good ground.
Back in December, local officials stood in front of the Chatham County Courthouse to announce the filing of House Bill 657, which makes it a felony for anyone to knowingly give a gun to a convicted felon.
This bill passed with majority bipartisan support, 156 to 3. It could be what Savannah needs to slow down gun violence.
Representative Jesse Petrea spoke about what the next step in this process would be, and says another vote would have to take place.
"It has to now go to the senate, where it will go through committee on the senate side. So, it will go to their public safety committee," Petrea said.
Petrea says he is fairly confident House Bill 657 will pass.

So it's legal to give a weapon to a felon now?

How about making a law that anyone calling for gun control, gets their knives taken away. ...and spoons too; they'll make you fat!

Are there not penalties for transferring to, a felon, a firearm now?

It's already a Federal felony. About time your state caught up.

We can't expect the Fed's to do what they are supposed to so the State needs to act. It should be a no brainer but it isn't.

It's already a federal felony to transfer possession of a firearm to a felon, and another felony for the felon to receive it.
I'm all for this new law! It makes dumb people feel safer, and does nothing to change the status quo.
Be not weary in well doing.
