GEORGIA –-(Ammoland.com)-The Georgia run-off elections for the two open US Senate seats are of utmost importance to preserving the Second Amendment and to maintain a firewall against a potential Biden Presidency and the communist agenda trying to overtake America. To help gun-owners understand the significance of the races, AmmoLand News is releasing an election guide breaking down the who, what, when, and why.
Georgia U.S. Senate Background
On November 2nd, 2020, both of Georgia’s US Senate two (2) seats were up for election grabs. According to Georgia’s election laws, a candidate would need to capture more than 50% of the vote totals to win a Senate seat. Both Georgia races turned out a crowded field of challengers, and no one in either race broke the 50% threshold. The failure triggered two (2) run-off elections where the top two candidates will face off against each other in each race. The run-off election will take place on January 5th, 2021.
If Republicans lose the races, it will give Democrats control of all government branches if Biden wins the Presidency. Chuck Schumer has vowed to make Republicans pay for confirming Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett. Democrats have expressed interest in killing the legislative filibuster and packing the courts. If Republicans lose the elections, it will change the United States and gun rights forever.

National Rifle Association: The NRA has started a media blitz to get the word out about the importance of the Georgia elections. They have used their reach to direct their members to help out both Loeffler and Perdue.
Anti-America Groups
Brady: Brady has activists on the ground door knocking as well as making phone calls and texting. They have used their reach for fundraising for anti-gun efforts to flip the Senate. What are you doing to counter them?
Everytown for Gun Safety: Everytown has used its massive war chest to fund the efforts of Warnock and Ossoff. They have set up call centers to make phone calls on behalf of both anti-gun candidates. Have you donated to the pro-gun candidates?
Moms Demand Action: MDA is another Bloomberg funded anti-gun groups raising money for the Democrat candidates. MDA is door knocking to try to take the Senate to enable anti-gun legislation to be rammed through to the President’s desk. Have you volunteered time to help the Republican team win for America?

It’s very likely, regrettably, in the end it will be the gun that secures gun rights. The battle lines are being drawn and the rhetoric gets hotter day by day. Today is so reminiscent of 1855-1861. Two very different types of people, different cultures, different values and different hopes and dreams for their respective children. How can conflict possibly be avoided? It can’t.
You may want to consider meeting with your neighbors to come up with a plan to organize voters to vote-out state legislators who are inclined to vote for more gun control.
After you have been successful once, point it out to remaining legislators who are not firmly pro 2nd Amendment. It will scare the hell out of them and it will influence how they vote for bills.
We have nothing but 2nd Amendment supporters in office in our district. My state voted for Trump by over 61%. Our two US Senators are both 2nd Amendment advocates and each has a A+ rating from the NRA. We where I live are not threatened by our politicians. Its the politicians in liberal states that threaten our rights and we have no control over the zombies that vote for them.
You can organize with people to develop and execute strategies to remove state legislators outside of your own district. I do. We were successful in a couple districts and you can bet that legislators in other districts saw what happened. The NRA rating is nearly meaningless. The NRA supports red flag laws, banning bump stocks, and other gun control. You will have a much better idea of how “pro 2nd Amendment” legislators are by doing your own research on how they voted for bills. My state had a higher % of people that voted for Trump than your state and… Read more »
Sidney Powell’s findings regarding computerized election meddling make it even more difficult to fathom why anyone would not only vote their freedoms away, but also vote away the validity of their own vote.
Liberals have fired a well-directed shot at their own foot.
Right, get out the vote and win; because it worked so well in November…. There will never again be confidence in our voting system.
