Stacey Abrams: ‘I Believe That We Have To Ban Assault Weapons in the State of Georgia’

RUSH EXCERPT:

ABRAMS: "In the state of Georgia, you introduce legislation to start conversations. I am happy to work with the legislature to figure out how we make an assault weapons ban work. But what I fundamentally believe is that we have to have common sense gun safety legislation. I am someone who supports the Second Amendment, who knows how to shoot and hunt, but I believe that our responsibility is to make sure that the most vulnerable in our society do not face those who are irresponsible with their weapons. Ar-15s are not necessary on our streets. Semi-automatic weapons have to be put under a certain level of responsible control. And I believe that as the next governor of Georgia, I can work with Democrats and Republicans to come up with common sense gun safety legislation that allow us to make our families and our communities safer."
