2022 GA Senate race: on Gun Control


Herschel Walker: Confirm judges who will protect our right to bear arms

Too often, politicians make promises on the campaign trail and then abandon them once in office. Herschel is not a politician, and you can count on him to stand up for our rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Herschel will vote to confirm Constitutional judges to our courts who will protect our right to bear arms, to ask questions, and to make our own decisions for our families.

Latham Saddler: Threats to 2d amendment are a threat to our way of life

The right to bear arms is explicit in our Constitution. Threats to that right are a threat to our way of life. We have a right to protect our families, to pass down the tradition of outdoorsmanship to our children, and to defend ourselves when necessary. Latham will fight for our right to bear arms in Georgia and across America.

Chase Oliver: Pink Pistols: no red flag laws; no gun confiscation

Q: Balancing constitutional rights, what can be done to address mass shootings and gun violence?

A: I'm a proud gun owner and I respect the 2nd Amendment. A lot of gun laws in this country come from a place of historical oppression and, frankly, racism and bigotry. I think people should have the right to defend themselves if they so choose. Now, how do we address gun violence? The truth is, we've always had guns in this country. You're not going to address gun violence [by] gun confiscation or passing unconstitutional red flag laws that do away with people's due process. The way we address gun violence is we have to address the culture of violence in our society, and that's not something you can do with a piece of legislation. At the end of the day, I'm not going to support red flag laws; I'm not going to support gun confiscation. I'm going to stand up for people's right to defend themselves. I'm a member of the Pink Pistols: armed gays are harder to oppress and they're harder to bash.
