Since I’ve been your Senate Public Safety chairman,
there have been …
48 school shootings.
0 gun-safety measures.
10 school shootings in Georgia in 2024 (so far).
It’s not just our schools.
Since I took office, firearm-related deaths in Georgia are up 58%.
In the past 5 years, alone, firearm-related deaths of Georgians under 17 years old have increased by 97%.
The suicide rate for Veterans in Georgia is 10% higher than the national average.
9 school shootings in Georgia in 2023.
My action and inaction as a legislator contributes to this violence.
I sponsored and voted to loosen firearm restrictions in public places (2022, 2021).
I voted to authorize concealed carry at colleges and universities (2016).
I voted to authorize concealed carry at K-12 schools (2014).
I voted to loosen open carry and possession laws (2022).
And since 2019, I’ve blocked every meaningful gun-safety bill from reaching the State Senate.
12 school shootings in Georgia in 2022.
“Three times we scheduled meetings with Senator Albers.
Three times he stood us up.”
A Georgia Majority for Gun Safety representative at the recent State Senate press conference with JD Jordan calling for basic gun-safety measures in response to the Apalachee High School shooting.
11 school shootings in Georgia in 2021.
It’s time to hold me accountable.
Contact my office at 404-463-8055 and demand that I support and help enact common-sense gun-safety policies such as safe-storage requirements, red-flag laws, and mandatory waiting periods on firearm purchases.
Then vote out elected officials like myself who refuse to take action to protect our children. As Chairman of the Senate Public Safety Committee, I am uniquely positioned to continue blocking gun-safety in Georgia.
And 6 more school shootings before those.
Since I won’t do the job, you should support JD Jordan.
I remain the greatest obstacle to meaningful common-sense gun-safety in Georgia and have yet to acknowledge the Apalachee High School shooting.
Meanwhile, my opponent JD Jordan recently joined State Senate leaders calling for our Legislature to prioritize safe-storage, background checks, and extreme risk “red flag”laws when the new session convenes in January.
As I’ve said before, “[JD Jordan] prioritizes their children, family, and home above politics” and I stand by that statement.
