Fundraising and Firepower in Brunswick

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) - Glynn County Republicans will have a
chance to shoot handguns, fire an Uzi, a Thompson submachine gun
and other weapons at an event being held to support Second
Amendment rights.
    The GOP gathering will start Tuesday afternoon at Shooters of
America firing range in the coastal county. The local GOP chairman,
Ed Gough, said in an e-mail that people will be able to shoot
handguns for $20, and for an extra fee can fire the other weapons.
    Gough says, “What better way to celebrate a constitutional
right than exercise it?“
    Ed Tompkins, who owns Shooters of America, said gun ownership is
part of the checks and balances in American government, and acts as
a protection against tyranny.
