Yesterday, Live Nation announced the cancellation of the 2022 Music Midtown festival—set to take place in Atlanta this September—with multiple sources citing Georgia’s weak gun laws as the cause of this year’s cancellation. rollingstone.com/music/music-ne…
Music Midtown is held each year in Piedmont Park, but thanks to Georgia’s weak gun laws, festival organizers are unable to enforce a prohibition on firearms during the event — a key stipulation for some of the artists who were slated to perform.
Georgia has some of the country’s weakest firearm laws. Earlier this year, despite the objections of 70 percent of Georgia voters, Gov. Brian Kemp signed permitless carry into law, allowing people to carry concealed guns in public with no background check and no safety training.
