so the GA hasn't been able to repeat their black-specific prohibitions of 1715 (prohibiting all blacks, slave and free, from carrying guns without a permission slip from their "master&quot or 1831 (requiring free blacks to obtain a carry permit, in response to the Nat Turner rebellion), so they've had to create "discretionary" laws or laws regarding "apprehended danger" that can be selectively enforced against blacks, such as the 1904 ban on carry except "as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger. The present may-issue permitting system was enacted in 1972 in response to racial fears and violence in 1968, and the 1988 economic ban on affordable handguns was analogous to Tennessee's 1879 law limiting handgun ownership to only the expensive models already owned in huge numbers by the Ku Klux Klan.
