re: gun violence

 

I want to share a number that I have been making sure voters across Georgia know:

11,396

From 2018 to 2020 alone, Georgia courts deemed 11,396 individuals too dangerous to carry a concealed weapon, and revoked or denied their concealed carry permits.

Yet knowing full well that Georgia faces a gun violence crisis, Brian Kemp signed a law eliminating permits and a background check, making it easier for people posing similar risks to carry a concealed, loaded weapon.

As governor, I will repeal Brian Kemp’s dangerous, extreme Criminal Carry law and work to address our gun violence crisis.

But I want to be clear: this is not a fight we win easily. I need a grassroots team alongside me, pushing for change here in Georgia. Can I count on you to join me and make your next donation to power our campaign right now?

Repealing Kemp’s Criminal Carry law is just the first step I will take to address gun violence in Georgia. But I also do know that there are ways for us to protect Second Amendment rights AND protect second graders at the same time.

We need to repeal the 2014 “Guns Everywhere” law that allows people to carry weapons in libraries, airports and bars. We will improve background checks in Georgia. And we will close Georgia’s Domestic Violence loophole.

These proposals have bipartisan support. But in order to get to work, we have to defeat Brian Kemp — whose only “solution” is to make it easier for people to carry guns.

This is a fight we cannot lose. Please, invest in my campaign for One Georgia right now. Anything you’re able to give will make a real difference.

Thank you,

Stacey

P.S. If you want to see more about how many people were deemed too dangerous for a concealed carry permit in Georgia, you can see a yearly breakdown in this chart:
