As Twitchy reported, Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams got some pushback from CNN’s Jake Tapper on her proposed gun confiscation legislation after painting herself as pro-Second Amendment. “AR-15s are not necessary on our streets,” she told Tapper.
And yet, there were AR-15s on the streets of Atlanta this weekend as members of the Black Panthers strapped on their “assault rifles” and marched in support of Abrams campaign.

Peace-Loving, Tolerant Radicals: Armed With Assault Rifles, Black Panthers March For Stacey Abrams https://t.co/EawoRKWmYC #VoteBrianKemp

Let’s make it clear: we’re against any attempt to ban AR-15s, and we also support open carry. You might remember there was some hubbub about open carry at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, and while a few citizens did sport firearms, the whole thing went off smooth as glass.
But it’s tough to overlook the irony of the Black Panthers campaigning for Abrams while carrying the exact weapons she says have no place on Georgia’s streets.
It didn’t look like much of a march, though:

Still, walking down the sidewalk with a visible gun is scary to some people and must be outlawed; they have a right to feel safe.
Oh the irony. Just yesterday, Abrams was talking about criminalizing the very firearms they are carrying to support her.https://t.co/jENwfkKvZ2 https://t.co/jENwfkKvZ2

So Americans will have to turn over their guns, according to Abrams while the Black Panthers will keep their guns…

So, she'll only ban guns for her opponents?… Armed With Assault Rifles, Black Panthers March For Stacey Abrams https://t.co/zlXf4clFoI via @dailycaller

Are those "assault rifles" the Black Panthers are holding? What makes a gun an "assault rifle?"

If it looks scary to Dianne Feinstein and it’s black, it’s an assault rifle. Wood trim is fine.
They’re carrying modern rifles not assault rifles.

So, wait… doesn't she want to confiscate their rifles and lock them up?
She has spent over a year saying that exact thing in legal text, no less.

How hypocritical is that?

I thought she was anti-gun? They should have been carrying flowers.

But….. Democrats are against guns, right? @NRA

She'll take the weapons from us but not the black panthers
— PJ Cruz (@PJCruzer) November 5, 2018
Hope they'll be the FIRST to surrender their weapons to Comrade Abrams should the GA population elect her!
— Pat Caruthers (@PatCaruthers1) November 4, 2018
She’s a disaster. How can GA voters not see this?
