"Brian Kemp is putting a dangerous agenda on guns ahead of Georgia's economy and growing jobs," Abrams said in the statement. "Once again, Georgians' best interests are taking a backseat to Kemp's political ambitions — and our state is forced to pay the price at a rate of $50 million lost from our economy."
"Georgians deserve leadership that will work hard to fight rising crime rates and implement common sense gun safety proposals while protecting our state's economic growth," she added. "Kemp may only think about the needs of his right-wing base, but as governor, I will work hard to protect the lives and livelihoods of all Georgians."
