ICYMI: Trump Campaign and RNC Hold Debate Watch Party at “World’s Largest Gun Store” One Week After School Shooting Arrow

This week, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on the Trump campaign, RNC, and Georgia Republican Party's decision to hold a debate watch party at Adventure Outdoors, known as "The World's Largest Gun Store," less than one week after the tragic Apalachee High School shooting. From telling gun violence survivors to 'get over it' to insisting school shootings are a 'fact of life' - while opposing common sense gun violence reforms at every turn at the behest of the gun lobby - Donald Trump, JD Vance, and their MAGA Republican Party continue to put Americans' safety last.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Trump campaign holds watch party at Georgia gun range days after school shooting

By Michelle Baruchman and Greg Bluestein

• Less than a week after a shooting at a Georgia high school left four people dead, former President Donald Trump's campaign is holding one of its larger debate watch parties at a suburban Atlanta firearms outlet that bills itself as "The World's Largest Gun Store."

• "Holding a political debate party at a gun range is completely out of step with the vast majority of voters who are scared to send their kids to school and not have them come home," said state Sen. Sally Harrell, one of the Democrats who have pressed for more restrictions on firearms in Georgia.

• Democrats and gun control advocacy groups predict the decision to keep the event at the gun store will haunt Republicans in November. Moms Demand Action, one of the most prominent gun safety organizations in the nation, said it was "insensitive, gross and reprehensible."

• Country crooner Travis Tritt raffled off guns outside Adventure Outdoors to supporters of then-U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler in December 2020. Gov. Brian Kemp and failed U.S. Senate hopeful Herschel Walker picked the store for their sole joint event in 2022. And when Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis visited Georgia shortly before he announced his presidential bid, he made a beeline for the sprawling suburban outpost.
