Earl L. “Buddy” Carter is an experienced businessman, health care professional and faithful public servant. For over 32 years Buddy owned Carter’s Pharmacy, Inc. where South Georgians trusted him with their most valuable assets: their health, lives and families. While running his business, he learned how to balance a budget and create jobs. He also saw firsthand the devastating impacts of government overregulation which drives his commitment to ensuring that the federal government creates policies to empower business instead of increasing burdens on America’s job creators.
Our founding fathers believed so strongly in the right to bear arms that they ensured it in the Bill of Rights. I won’t back down when it comes to supporting the Second Amendment.
Efforts to expand gun control and restrict access to legal gun use have proven ineffective in reducing crime. In fact, they leave guns in the hand of criminals while leaving ordinary, honest, law-abiding citizens defenseless. We can reduce crime by holding criminals accountable for their actions, not by adding unnecessary layers of gun control.
I will do everything in my power to protect and defend our Second Amendment rights and turn back efforts that threaten them on them at any level.
