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.

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?
