| Stacey Abrams Supports Banning AR-15s, Won't Say if She'd Confiscate Them From Georgians |
| 2018-11-01 |
| [Free Beacon] Democrat Stacey Abrams would not say Tuesday whether she would support rounding up AR-15 firearms from Georgians if elected governor. Conservative co-host of "The View" Meghan McCain read out a list of Abrams' gun control bona fides, including her "F" rating from the National Rifle Association and endorsements from the group Everytown for Gun Safety and gun control activist Michael Bloomberg. "Do you, like Everytown, support banning the AR-15?" McCain asked. Abrams replied she was not "anti-gun," talking about her enjoyment of trap shooting and target shooting, but she also touted her support of background checks, three-day waiting periods, and keeping domestic abusers from buying guns before addressing McCain's question. "I do not believe that weapons of mass destruction like the AR-15 belong in civilian hands," she said. "I've shot an AR-15, and I think you probably have, too, and while it's an amazing amount of power, it also is an amazing amount of destruction, and there's very little that can be done to protect vulnerable communities when the AR-15 is present." McCain said she appreciated Abrams' honesty. |

| #4 I can easily assure you that any type of weapons confiscation hoisted upon the citizens of Georgia (by anyone) will be met with extreme resistance. Perhaps I should leave it at that. |

| #2 I think you're right Besoker either the polls are lying or people are lying to the pollsters. Karen Handel is supposed to be in a tight race and i thought she was unopposed until i voted a couple of weeks ago |

| #1 I suspect Brian Kemp will defeat Abrams without much difficulty. |
