These popular firearms and accessories falling under the so-called assault weapons category.

This could explain the gender-based discrepancy.

http://www.legis.ga.gov/Legislation/20152016/154275.pdf

178 16-11-117.
179 (a) Notwithstanding Code Sections 16-11-115 and Code Section 16-11-116, any person
180 who possesses any assault weapon or large capacity magazine on July 1, 2016, shall have
181 until October 31, 2016, to accomplish any of the following actions without any prosecution
182 under the law:
183 (1) Modify such assault weapon or large capacity magazine to render it permanently
184 inoperable or such that it is no longer an assault weapon or large capacity magazine; or
185 (2) Surrender such assault weapon or large capacity magazine to the Georgia Bureau of
186 Investigation for destruction pursuant to this part.


I know many here will applaud her stance, but it was a problem for some GA voters.
