Georgia Republican Candidate Promises to Give Away AR-15 Gun to Protect Against 'Looting Hordes'
A Republican running for Congress to represent Georgia's 9th district has said anyone who signs up for his email mailing list will have a chance to win an AR-15 rifle, saying that the weapon can be used against "looting hordes."
Paul Broun, who previously served in the House of Representatives for Georgia's 10th district from 2007 to 2015, posted a video announcing the giveaway in early April. The former congressman argued that such a weapon was especially necessary amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"In uncertain times like these, the right to defend yourself and your property and your family could not be more important," Broun, 73, said in the clip. He referred to the weapon as a "liberty machine."
"Whether it's looting hordes from Atlanta, or a tyrannical government from Washington, there are few better liberty machines than an AR-15," he said. Source: Paul Broun for Congress
