Georgia Won't Join Anti-Terror Database

Great to see that Georgia backed off this legislation. I hope more states follow.

I'm in Atlanta, oddly, I havnt heard anything about this lately. Thanks for the info.

Actually, looking at MATRIX' website it says Georgia is a participating state. Odd, I guess we used to support it and have now "backed down"?
