On Gun Control: Respect the 2nd Amendment if you want to date my daughter

TV campaign ad: "I'm Brian Kemp, this is Jake, a young man interested in one of my daughters," Kemp, the candidate and Georgia's current secretary of state, says while polishing a double-barrel shotgun on his lap in the middle of a room decked out with handguns, hunting rifles, and at least two AR-15-style weapons.

"Yes, sir," Jake, a young man in khakis, responds.

"Jake asked why I was running for governor," Kemp says. He prompts Jake to list off: to "cap government spending," to "take a chainsaw to regulations," and to "make Georgia number one for small business."

"And two things if you're going to date one of my daughters?" Kemp then asks.

"Respect," Jake answers. "And a healthy respect for the Second Amendment, sir."

Kemp then cocks the gun up, apparently toward Jake, and then says, "We're going to get along just fine."
