The gun violence in Atlanta is a problem and leadership needs to address it. 

It’s not Atlanta it’s the United States ALL TOGETHER

I’m talking about Atlanta specifically. Have the conversation we’re having.

It starts at home. We have a wayward youth problem.

Leaders here don’t care about that. They are defunding our police. With less police presence, this type of violence will happen.
Votes matter
Beware of empty campaign promises

More police creates more crime.

Metro Atlanta needs more police

No it doesn't. Metro Atlanta NEEDS to lift people out of poverty, create opportunity for disadvantaged groups, provide resources for those who have none, and to fund education.

White bigots like you are the problem.

That will never happen in a Democrat city. It’s all by design to win votes. Keep begging for help.

What should be done, do you reckon? I've seen buyback programs that were hit and miss as far as results. What do you think would be helpful?

Address the underlying issue for crime. Policing crime only creates more crime.

but how would we honestly…it’s not like we can police all of piedmont park/atlantic station/the beltline and apd takes forever to show up.

I think they (law enforcement) wanted this weekend to fail to have a reason to cancel it. Get rid of weapons of war hiding under the umbrella of 2nd Amendment Rights is a good start.

Poverty, lack of resources, lack of opportunity, and lack of education needs to be fixed in Atlanta. Until this happens, gun violence will persist. Leadership doesn't understand how poverty drives violent crime.

Any thoughts on how this looks from a policy perspective?
Seems like some of the most crucial policies that got us here came from state level policies.

I’ve never been so ready to storm a town hall meeting.

Thank you!!!! It’s an epidemic.

Hell na sum these mfs needa be dealt wit ong

Maybe ban permitless open carry in public places again 🙄 things have gotten significantly worse since they passed that retarded law in 2022
