ATLANTA (January 24, 2023) | Yesterday, Sen. Brandon Beach (R – Alpharetta) introduced Senate Bill 7, also known as the “3G” bill or the “Gangs, Guns, Gone” bill. This bill would impose a 10 year mandatory minimum sentence for anyone who uses a gun while committing or attempting to commit a violent felony.
“We are not going to allow these District Attorneys to let these violent offenders back out on the street,” said Sen. Beach. “Anyone who commits any of these violent crimes at gunpoint should not be allowed to walk away.”
SB 7 would require that this mandatory minimum sentence is given any time charges are brought against an individual who has used a gun to commit or attempt to commit a violent felony, whether or not the weapon was discharged. This would be a pre-enhanced minimum sentence that convicted individuals must serve prior to any other sentence and cannot be shortened by any sentence-reducing measures. Judges would have to impose this sentence on individuals who use even the threat of a gun to subdue another individual while committing a violent crime.
Senate Bill 7 has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Judiciary. You can read the full text of SB 7 here: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/63555
