The NRA rally shows that appearing to be the biggest defender of guns has been a priority for the campaigns of both Cagle and his GOP opponent, Secretary of State Brian Kemp.

The National Rifle Association rallied across Georgia for gubernatorial candidate Casey Cagle over the weekend, including a stop at the Governors Gun Club in Kennesaw.

From publicly threatening Delta on behalf of the NRA to pointing a shotgun at a teenager in a TV ad, appearing to be the biggest defender of guns has been a priority for both Republican campaigns for governor. So much so that sometimes even some of their supporters get confused.

Before this NRA rally for Lt. Gov. Cagle, Steve Jackson said he thought the gun group had endorsed Cagle’s Republican opponent, Secretary of State Brian Kemp.
